The cutest Santa Claus ever and an important date/ O Papai Noel mais lindo e um anuncio importante
Acho que isso praticamente encerra qual vai ser o nome do bebe, basta ir na lista de nomes da eleicao ao lado pra ter uma ideia.
...de todos os riscos, esse sera o maior. De todas aventuras, essa sera a mais excitante. De todo o amor, esse sera o mais puro! ...out of all risks, this'll be the greatest. Out of all adventures, this'll be the most exciting. Out of all love, this will be the purest!

Final sprint!
We are getting closer and closer day to day...Claudia is more tired than never and sleeping has become a real challenge for her. There ain't positions now. She feels pain in almost every muscle of the body and every day!
We are starting to freak out about the final day that we have even forgot to put our Christmas tree up!
Today we had a tour at the hospital where he's going to be born and learned that on his Birth Certificate the father's name is not required, unless mother wants to. Actually it is the mother who has to fill out the form!
I will not be able to video tape or take pictures during the c-section. Only before and after!
The good news is that there is wireless internet connection, so I'll be able to post the pictures right after being admitted to our room with my laptop. 21st century!
Now you can see a picture of Claudia at the end of her baby-shower last Sunday.
Ultimo sprint!
O dia esta chegando...a Claudia esta muito cansada e dormir eh um grande desafio ja que nao tem posicao confortavel. Tudo doi o tempo todo!Nos estamos comecando a ficar tensos sobre o grande dia que ate esquecemos de montar a arvore de Natal! Hoje fizemos um tour pelo hospital onde ele vai nascer and aprendemos que na Certidao de Nascimento o nome do pai nao eh necessario, a nao ser que a mae faca questao. Alias, eh a mae que tem de preencher os formularios. Eu nao vou poder filmar ou fotografar o parto. Somente antes e depois, MAS o hospital tem conexao sem fio de internet e eu vou poder botar as primeiras fotinhos rapidinho pra voces verem. Seculo 21! Aqui voces tem uma foto da Clau no final do cha-de-bebe domingo passado.
Beijo a todos!

A real kicker!
Our son doesn't stop kicking anymore...one stronger than the other. today we went to see the doctor and we are on our 31st week already, which means there is about 7 left for us. Now the visits are bi-weekly and soon will be weekly. Claudia has already gone over the weight limit, but the doctor believes most of her weight is water and this goes away easily after the delivery...it goes on a 4-5 pounds per day!
Also, he said our son may have about 4 pounds and seems to be a little bigger than the average, which can mean, he will be a big boy.
The preparations are going well. Today I assembled the bed and we are only missing the mattresses and some decoration. Next Sunday, Claudia will have her Baby Shower and hopefully we will post some pictures.
During Thanksgiving specials, we bought a camcorder to record our baby once he's here! I will try to post a small film here too.
Um chutador de primeira!
Nosso filho nao para mais de chutar...um mais forte que o outro. Hoje fomos ao medico e ja estamos na 31a. semana, o que nos deixa mais ou menos a 7 semanas do grande dia. A consultas sao bi-semanais e logo serao semanais. A Clau ja pasosu do limite do peso, mas o medico disse ser retencao de agua e que ela deve perder isso rapido apos o parto...cerca de 2 kilos por dia.
Ainda, o medico disse que nosso filho ja deve ter un 2.5kg and parece ser um pouco maior que a media, logo ele pode ser um meninao.
Os preparativos continuam indo bem. Hoje eu montei uma cama e agora so falta os colchoes e a decoracao. No domingo a Clau vai fazer o cha de bebe e devemos ter mais fotinhos pra voces.
Nas promocoes do dia de Acao de Gracas, nos compramos uma filmadora pra quando o bebe chegar. Vou tentar postar um filme aqui tambem.
Beijos a todos,

Claudia's pictures!
We got some of Claudia's pictures so you can try to imagine how our son may look like! My guess is that he will have a blond-ish hair and probably more of Claudia's traits...At least, that's what happened to me and the opposite to her.
She's always been more of a boyish girl. Always taking high risks and being a tough girl! I wonder how our boy's personality will be...Hopefully he'll take only the good from each of us!
Keeping following us, as the big day is approaching very fast.
Fotos da Claudia!
Conseguimos umas fotos da Clau e voces podem comecar a imaginar como nosso filho vai ser! Eu acho que vai ter um cabelo mais loiro e os tracos da mae...pelo menos, foi o que aconteceu comigo e exatamente o oposto com ela.
Ela sempre foi uma menina moleca, tomando maiores riscos e nao sendo uma menina mole. Imagino como a personalidade de nosso filho vai ser...quem sabe, nao puxe o melhor de cada um de nos!
Continuem acompanhando ja que o grande dia ta chegando ... e bem rapido!

Classes are over...
...and hopefully we'll do great when taking care of our son as well as of ourselves! Preparing for a C-Section helped us understand each step of the Great Moment and how to have a great recovery; Baby Care was a little bit of a dissapointment, since they taught us only how to change diapers and bath the baby, which is pretty much easy...the good thing was understanding small signs of a problem to avoid calling the doctor every five minutes; BreastFeeding is the greates and probably most important. There is so much good information on that subject and they're really saving-everybody's life. Breastfeeding is so important that I encourage all women and men to persevere. Never give up and if you're thinking about it, just call your hospital or a lactose group to have some help! Generally, it's very easy to solve, since it's on the mother and the baby's nature to breastfeed!
As aulas acabaram...
...e so Deus sabe se vamos nos sair bem na funcao de pais, cuidando do nosso filho e de nos mesmos! Preparacao pra Cesariana foi importante pra entendermos tudo o que rola no dia D e como se recuperar bem; Cuidando do bebe, nao foi tao emocionante, pois so ensinaram a trocar fraldas e dar banho, coisa facil...o lado bom ficou por conta dos pequenos sinais que podem ou nao indicar um problema e evitar uma ligacao desnecessaria pro medico; Amamentacao foi o melhor de todos os cursos! Tem tanta informacao sobre esse assunto e eh de tanta importancia que pode ate salvar a vida do seu filho. Amamentar eh tao importante que eu aconselho a todos a insistir e nunca desistir. Se estiver pensando em desistir, ligue pro hospital ou para o grupo de apoio do hospital e peca alguma ajuda! Tudo facil de resolver, se voce pensar que amamentar eh somente dar sequencia a natureza da mae e do bebe!
Beijo a todos,

One crib, an extra exam and no name!
After working 12 hours per day last week, and some few hours Saturday and Sunday, we could move ahead on our plan to have our son's bedroom ready. Saturday morning Claudia went to prepare the list of her Baby Shower that will be on December 3rd and on Sunday we went to Sawgrass and finally found a crib that would fit in our taste, space and wallet! Yes, we did buy our son's crib and it took me only 40 minutes to assemble it. Today Claudia went to do an extra glucose test, because according to the nurse her first one showed the result a little bit higher. The problem was that she was supposed to be fasting for 12 hours and should run the 3-hours test. However, she got at the clinic right on time but had to wait another extra hour to be seen by somebody. When the lady came she gave her the glucose to do a 1-hour test instead of a 3-hour. Claudia noticed her mistake and let her know, but there was nothing else she could to do fix and just asked her to go back tomorrow - as if Claudia had everyday available for those dumb-asses. The nurse didn't even bother to apologize and Claudia was so pissed off that she called me. So I left 3 mean messages and the supervisor nurse called me back all worried and apologetic and asked IF she could go and that she was very very sorry...yadayada. Also she said that the extra hour is common because they have to check the patient chart prior, which is funny because if they had done that they should know what type of exam Claudia was there for, right? Apologies accepted and we hope tomorrow they give her a better treatment. For those who ask, our son is still nameless...and I think he will be until the day he is born!
Um berco, um exame extra e nenhum nome!
Depois de trabalhar por 12 horas todos os dias semana passada e um pouco no fim de semana, nos conseguimos andar com nossos planos pro quarto do bebe. Sabado de manha a Clau fez a lista do cha de bebe que vai ser em 3 de dezembro e no domingo nos compramos um bercinho que cabe no quarto e no nosso bolso. Isso ai. Compramos o berco e demorei so 40 minutos pra montar. Hoje a Claudia teve que fazer um exame extra pra medir a glicose no sangue porque o primeiro deu um pouco acima do normal. Depois de ficar 12 horas em jejum e esperar uma hora pra ser atendida, a "patza" da enfermeira iniciou o exame como se fosse o de uma hora, ao inves o de 3 horas e como ja tinha dado o liquido com glicose ela nao ia conseguir resolver o erro hoje. Entao, sem ao menos se desculpar, ela falou que a Claudia tinha de voltar amanha, como se a Claudia ficasse a disposicao desse povo! A Claudia ficou tao brava que pediu pra eu ligar e resolver. Entao deixei 3 mensagens mal educadas e a enfermeira chefe me ligou na sequencia toda preocupada e pedindo mil desculpas pelo erro e disse que se a Claudia voltasse amanha ela mesma ia tomar conta dela. Depois do pedido desculpas ser aceito e nos termos desabafado, esperamos que a Claudia tenha um tratamento melhorzinho amanha.
Quanto ao nome, nada definido e pelo jeito so vai ser quanto ele nascer.
Beijo a todos,
Rogerio & Claudia

Sweet Halloween!!!
Well, after being threatened to death right on Halloween (by somebdoy you will know below) and still being at work at 9:00PM, I decided I should post a couple of pictures...
First, you can see how Claudia is getting bigger. She feels a lot of pain (all kinds) and her feet are very swollen too...the baby kicks stronger every day and his bedroom is still empty!!! Hope she'll hang on until January when he's supposed to come. The other picture is a couple friend of ours with his new baby: Bruno...he scared the hell out their parents (Marcia and Edson), by being born 2 months earlier than the expected. Also, Marcia scared ME to death, because I went to Brazil, met Bruno, took this picture and forgot to mention that on this very blog! Sorry, Marcia! May God bless you and your beautiful family!
Doce dia das bruxas!!!
Depois de ter sido ameacado de morte bem no Dia das Bruxas (por quem vcs vao saber ja ja) e ainda ter de trabalhar ate as 21:00, decidi postar umas fotos...
Primeiro, olha como a Clau ta ficando grande. Ela sente varias dores (de todos os tipos) e seus pes estao bem inchados tambem...o bebe chuta cada dia mais forte e o quartinho continua vazio!!! Espero que ela e ele aguentem ate Janeiro. Na outra foto, um casal de amigos com seu mais novo bebe: Bruno...Ele assustou seus pais (Marcia e Edson) quando decidiu nascer de 7 meses e a Marcia, assustou a MIM, depois que eu fui ao Brasil, conheci o Bruno, bati essa foto e esqueci de menciona-los nesse blog! Foi mal, Marcia melecona! Que Deus abencoe a sua bonita familia.
Beijo a todos,

So much to tell and no time to breath!!!
First I want to apologize for not being as frequent as I was, but I have some "excuses", that will also tell you what we've have been going through these last 2 weeks.
1. Claudia went to her monthly doctor's visit last week and she had her blood pressure a little bit higher than normal. Then, the doctor sent her to the ER to have it lowered. Nothing serious and according to the nurse this is common during pregnancy, but no normal. So, I've been taking her BP daily and unbelievably it's been lower than it's supposed to. Nothing to worry about, just to pay attention to.
2. I have emptied the office-bedroom and threw so many junk away that I even knew I had. That took us two days. More difficult than cleaning things up, is deciding on what should go or stay.
3. Also, on Sunday I painted the closet - already empty - with new white color, so the baby's clothings will be on a neat closet. And, on Monday I re-built the shelves system. It took me the enitre afternoon.
Our son kicks a lot, but I still can't sense it, but am anxious about it. Hoppefuly, this month...Claudia is feeling more tired every day and her feet look like a baseball...hehehe
I'll post her latest picture this next weekend...I promise!
Today - October 12th - we celebrated our 4th anniversary, which means we've been together for 14 years now!
Today is also the day of Brazil's patron saint - Our lady of Aparecida. May she continue blessing our marriage as well as our new family!
Love to all,
Rogerio & Claudia
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tanto pra contar e sem tempo de respirar!!!
Antes de tudo, quero me desculpar por nao ter postado ultimamente, mas eu tenho umas "desculpas", que tambem servirao de assunto sobre essas duas ultimas semanas.
1. Claudia foi ao medico, semana passada e a pressao sanguinea estava um pouco alta. O medico pediu que ela fosse ao pronto socorro pra ver se baixava. Nada serio and conforme a enfermeira, sao sintomas comuns, mas nao normais. Desde entao,eu tiro a pressao dela diariamente e por incrivel que pareca, tem estado ate um pocuo abaixo do normal. Nada pra se preocupar, mas pra prestar atencao.
2. Esvazei o quarto-escritorio and joguei tanta coisa fora que nem sabia que tinha. So isso me tomou 2 dias. Mais dificil doque limpar eh decidir o que jogar fora!
3. Tambem, no domingo eu pintei o closet - ja vazio - bem branquinho pra que as roupas do bebe estejam num lugar caprichado. E, segunda-feira eu refiz todas prateleiras do closet. Durante a tarde toda.
Nosso filho chuta pacas, mas eu ainda nao sinto, apesar de nao ver a hora. Quem sabe esse mes...Claudia tem ficado mais cansado ultimamente e seus pes parecem uma bolinha de baseball...hehehe
Vou postar uma foto atualizada esse fim de semana. Prometo!
Hoje - 12 de outubro - completamos 4 anos de casado, o que no final das contas da 14 anos juntos!
Hoje tambem eh o dia da padroeira do Brasil - Nsa. Senhora Aparecida. Que Ela continue abencoando nosso casamento e nossa familia!
Beijo a todos,
Rogerio e Claudia

Ja que muita gente pede pra eu postar minhas fotos - apesar de achar que eh a mae quem fica mais bonita nesse processo todo - durante minha viagem ao Brasil eu roubei umas fotos minhas da minha mae pra que voces possa saber como eu era quando bebe, e de repente, imaginar como nosso filho vai ser...e importante justificar dizendo que eh a Claudia quem diz que o primeiro filho se parece mais com o pai! Se houver protestos, nos vamos tentar achar umas fotos da Clau enquanto bebe tambem! Divirta-se!
2 months - Baptism Day/2 meses - Dia do batismo
8 months - reading some serious stuff/ 8 meses - lendo algo importante

As promised...
we will show you a couple of ultra-sound pictures before telling our baby's sex, so you can get familiarized with this type of picture. I have to confess that I've never understood them in the past, but now they are crystal clear.
I'll post the same picture twice, being one the original one and another outlined to give you an idea of what it looks like.
The first picture is the baby's face and the second one, is the baby's body. The bones are easier to see than the organs, but the doctor was able to see kidneys, stomach, heart, etc...which I wasn't.
Hoep you like and bear with us for the next couple of days!
-----------------------------------------
Conforme o prometido...
estamos mostrando algumas fotos do ultra-som antes de falar o sexo do bebe, entao voces vao se acostumando a interpreta-las. Eu mesmo nunca tinha entendido uma foto dessas, mas agora sim!
Vou postar a mesma foto duas vezes. A original e uma contornada que vai te dar uma nocao melhor do bebe.
A primeira foto eh o rosto do bebe e a segunda, o corpo. Os ossos se sobressaem em relacao aos orgaos internos, mas a medica conseguir ver ate os rins, etomago, coracao, etc...coisa que eu nao consegui!
Espero que gostem e continuem conosco nos proximos dias!
Beijo a todos,

A Clau esta com um gripe desde ontem e o corpo inteiro doi. Ela espirra a cada cinco minutos e a barriga doi a cada espirro. Eh como se alguem tivesse batendo. Imagino como o bebe deve estar se sentindo...
O lado ruim de ficar doente na gravidez eh o fato de que a mulher nao pode tomar qualquer remedio e o unico permitido eh bem mais fraco que o normal. Logo a recuperacao demora mais.
E o furacao nunca virou furacao! Foi mais uma boa garoa. Esse fim de semana vamos a Orlando pra mudar de ares e se o tempo deixar, queremos ir a um parque aquatico.
Continue acompanhando: Dia 6 de setembro faremos um ultra-som pra saber o sexo do bebe...
Beijos a todos,

Windy week
We're on our 18th week now. The baby is always kicking and Claudia is feeling some pain on her lower abdomen due to a normal stretching of the ligaments on that area.
Also, we may have a windy week since Hurricane Ernesto is coming towards our area. Forecast says it is going to be a weak hurricane, but still...after last year and so many hurricanes, all we want is some bonanza! Nothing bad is gong to happen to us, but just in case you don't hear from us, it could be we're out of electricity for a couple of days!
---------------------------------------
Semana agitada
Estamos na semana numero 18. O bebe chuta toda hora e a Claudia sente um dorzinha na parte de baixo da barriga, devido os ligamentos estarem esticando.
Alem disso, a semana vai ser meio agitada ja que o furacao Ernesto esta vindo pra ca. A previsao eh de um furacao fraco, mas, depois do que aconteceu ano passado, tudo que a gente mais quer eh calmaria! Nada de ruim vai acontecer, mas caso voces nao tenha noticias por uns dias eh porque ficamos sem energia eletrica.
Nada demais!

Look at this! Isn't she the most beaufitul mother? If you want to compare, just go back a couple of months and you'll see the difference!
The only bad thing with this belly is that sleeping may not be as easy as it's always been. Finding a comfortable position for her, may not be for the baby and vice-versa...
All she wishes was she could sleep during the day too!
Be ready: Soon we will have a date of when the baby's gender may be revealed!!!
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Vejam so! Nao eh a mae mais bonita de todas? Se quiserem comparar, basta voltar uns meses e voce vai ver a diferenca!
O unico lado ruim disso eh que dormir nao eh mais tao gostoso quanto ha alguns meses. Achar posicao confortavel pra ela, por nao ser pro bebe e vice-versa...
Tudo que ela mais queria, era poder dormir de dia tambem!
E se preparem: Logo, teremos o dia de quando saberemos o sexo do bebe!!!
Beijo a todos!!!

The baby has really started kicking. There has not passed a day this week he/she didn't kick at least once. That just reminds me that he or she may not be a big soccer fan as his/her father is as well as make some good choices for him/her. On the soccer matters the choice is made: Just look at Palmeiras apparel Lucas gave to him. By the way: Lucas is a little young fellow whose soccer's team is Palmeiras. We saw he being born and now he's already 1 year old.
Besides that, we already started buying furnitures. This week, a new computer desk to make room for the baby's bedroom...Also we started researching baby's bedroom furniture and we are not sure whether we buy a convertible crib - the ones who grow with your kid until he/she is a toddler - or a regular one and then later buy a real bed. What would you think?
O bebe ja ta chutando legal. Essa semana chutou todos os dias pelo menos uma vez. Alias, isso so me lembra que ele ou ela pode nao ser um grande apreciador de futebol como o pai, ja que nos EUA nao eh um esporte popular. Nem por isso, o pai nao precisa fazer boas escolhas por ele. Neste aspecto, a escolha esta feita. Veja a roupa do Palmeiras que o Lucas - um palmeirensezinho que vimos nascer e hoje tem um ano de idade - deu pra nosso bebe.
Alem disso, ja comecamos a comprar os moveis. Essa semana, comprar um novo movel pro computador e pra poder abrir espaco pro quarto do bebe e ja estamos pesquisando as opcoes de bercos. Opcoes sao o que mais tem por aqui...varia de 100 a 1000 dolares. Nao sabemos se compramos um conversivel - daqueles que viram cama ate quando a crianca atingir a idade escolar - ou compramos um comum e depois compramos uma cama de verdade. O que voces acham?
Beijos a todos.

Geez!! Claudia is really pregnant...you won't believe how her belly is popping out!
By the way; It must not be easy to be pregnant, I mean for women. Just so you know, the woman body goes through a lot of changes. Hormones, Fatigue, Cravings, Some pain, vomiting are the most commom, but it's always good to remind you about the 100-times-a-day need for peeing and not having control about that, how hard it is to sleep in a comfortable position, let alone her pshycological changes: "There might be some many thoughts going around now."
Thanks God, I'm the father....It sounds much easier from this side of the bed!
A.N.D.: Thank you my beloved mother for going through this without giving up on me!
Anyway, the real changes are appearing day by day. Last Saturday we went to research some options for the baby's bedroom and she felt a huge pain on her belly, as if somebody was kicking her. The belly was as hard as a rock too.
When we arrived back at home, while flipping channels, on Discovery Channel there was this beautiful documentary about pregnancy and its phases, so we - of course - watched it. The funny thing was that they said that the baby starts playing with its first toy - umbilical cord - on his/her 16th week, which is exactly the one we're now. So, I guess there was A REAL SOMEBODY kicking her... Now the real changes are going to start: This kid's presence in our life forever!
-------
Meu! A Clau ta muito gravida. Voces nao acreditam no tamanho da barriga!
Alias, estar gravida nao deve ser nada facil. O corpo da mulher muda tanto em tao pouco tempo. Hormonios, Cansaco, Fome, Dorzinhas e Nauseas sao as mais comuns, mas eh sempre bom lembrar que a vontade de fazer xixi multiplica e ela "quase" nao consegue se controlar, a dificuldade que ela tem de dormir confortavelmente e, sem falar no lado psicologico da coisa. Quanta coisa nao deve passar na cabeca dela?
Gracas a Deus que eu sou o pai. Parce bem mais facil olhando daqui!
Ah.: Obrigado muito, maezinha querida, por ter passado por tudo isso comigo e nunca ter desistido!
Bem, as mudancas estao acontecendo mais a cada dia. Sabado fomos pesquisar uns moveis pro quarto do bebe e a barriga dele ficou dura e ela sentiu uma dor, como se alguem tivesse chutando a barriga dela. Quando chegamos em casa, passando os canais, vimos que na Discovery Channel estava passando um belo programa sobre gravidez. La, eles contaram que o bebe comeca a brincar com seu primeiro brinquedo - o cordao umbilical - a partir da 16a. semana. Semana em que estamos! Logo, tinha REALMENTE UM ALGUEM chutando a barriga dela. Acho que as mudancas de verdade vao comecar: Uma crianca na nossa vida, cada vez mais presente!
Beijos a todos,

A nossa vida esta numa fase onde-vamos-vemos-criancas. A vida eh mesmo feita de fases. Agora nossos amigos ou tem criancas pequenas ou estao em fase de te-las. Hoje fomos num churras na casa do Magal e tinha dois meninos e quatro meninas e o papo sempre em torno desses seres!
Obviamente que na rua, no shopping ou em qq. lugar que vamos, estamos mais atentos com as criancas em volta e logo, ficamos imaginando como a nossa vai ser. Eu digo:
-Vai ser uma menina loirinha como o pai. A Clau diz:
-Nao vai! Vai ter o cabelo bem liso e escuro como o da mae.
Ja quando se trata de pensarmos no menino, automaticamente imaginamos ele mais parecido com o pai.
O importante eh que nao tenha a tendencia hereditaria de pressao alta do pai e as alergias - a tudo - da mae!
----------
Our life is on a where-we-go-we-only-see-kids phase. Life is phased out, I guess. Most of our friends have little kids or are on their way to do so. Today we went to a barbecue at Magal's place and there was 2 boys and 4 girls and our conversation was always about them. Their stories, their fears, their habits!
Obviously, that on the street or wherever we are we notice the kids more than ever and we start wondering about how ours is going to look like. I say: - If it is a girl, it will be blond as her father. Clau doesn't agree and says: - It's going to have my hair. Black and straight. Now, when we think about a boy, it seems automatic that it would look like the father.
The important would be that he or she doesn't take after her dad's high blood pressure heritage nor to her mother's allergies to everything.
Love to all: Rogerio & Claudia

Oi pessoal:
Essa semana a Clau esta com a alergia atacada. O nariz nao sossega e ela ja comecou a perder a paciencia...Ela pode ate tomar remedio (Claritin-D), mas nao direto. Tem de ser de vez em quando!
Alem disso, ela sonhou de novo com o sexo do bebe. De novo, um menino so que desta buchechudo. Na segunda ou terca-feira a barriga dela - na altura no estomago - tinha um calombo duro e segundo ela doia muito. Como ainda eh cedo pra sentir o bebe, pode ser que sejam gases, mas segundo o babycenter.com, o bebe ja comeca a se mexer com 7-8 semanas e nao da pra senti-los por que as perninhas e bracinhos ainda sao fracos e ele eh bem pequeno pra isso! De qualquer forma, foi legar imaginar que o bebe ja esta comecando a se maifestar.
As vezes ela se sente desconfortavel e eu converso com o bebe e ela melhora. Das duas uma: Ou o bebe ja me obedece ou a Clau se sente mais segura quando faco isso!
-----
Hi all:
This week Clau's allergies are driving her crazy. Runny nose, sneezing all the time and she's starting to lose her patience. She could take some medicine, but not everyday. Besides, that she dreamed again about the baby's sex. Again, a boy with chubby cheeks. Last Monday or Tuesday (?) a little bump appeared on her belly. Since the baby's too small to be felt, that could be gas, but according to babycenter.com, the baby starts moving and kicking on its 7-8 weeks, but the mother cannot feel because the baby's little legs and arms are too small and weak to reach her. Anyway, it's been good to wonder about how the baby is starting to present itself.
Some times, when Claudia is feeling uncomfortable I talk to the baby and then she starts to feel better. Either the baby already senses me or Claudia feels more secure when I do this!
Love to all:
Rogerio & Claudia
P.S.: Special thanks to Rakhi who's been following the blog - perhaps, because she might be feeling her motherhood time is near - and pointing out my mistakes.
