Week 23: Happy Cumplesemana!

Hi O!

Happy 23rd week birthday!

Sorry I haven't written in so long. It's been a bit crazy and our digital camera isn't working so I haven't been able to post pictures.

So, what's new?

Your Papa Cesar had his surgery and it went really well. You couldn't visit him while he was in the hospital because there were too many germs around for a little baby like you. He's back home and (hopefully) taking it easy but he can't carry you for a little while since you weigh so much. Your Papa Cesar was so strong and positive. I'm sure that's helping his healing. I hope he knows how much everyone loves him.

In other news, I'm going to be a stay at home mama! I gave notice to my job and to the children's center last week. I feel so much better. I knew it wasn't right to go back to work but everyone kept telling me that it would get better and it just didn't. I always missed you and felt bad that I wasn't with you. I'll get to be with you 24/7 starting December 1st which seems so far away!

What else? We're going to be moving in with Papa Cesar and Lela Carmen in January. I'm really excited! I didn't grow up close to my extended family and I always hoped that if I had children that they would be close to their family. I hope we'll get to visit your Abuelito and Abuelita more often too when we move.

Your new thing is to stick your tongue out and make little sounds. It's really cute and you like me to copy you. Well, you're sleeping in the mei tei right now so I gotta go. I love you sweetie!

Week 21: Lela Carmen!

Guest Post from Lela Carmen:

Hello Lil' Octavio. I thought I should write today, Oct.13th, a day before your 5th month- just in case I forgot. My, how you've grown these past few months. You can tell Mommie's milk is yummy and nourishing.

Well, here's an update on things...your cousin Jalil is doing fine in kindergarten and enjoys his time there. However, Yasmin got a 2nd degree burn on her arm this past Monday. She got burned with hot water from one of those Marachan instant lunch soups. She went to the doctor and they put some ointment on the burn and wrapped it up. She returned to the doctor again on Friday to have it checked and has to go back next week. Through all of this, she has been so brave and says she's fine. Her classmates actually thought she had a broken arm because of all the wrapping.

Titi Jomaira will be graduating from UCONN in December! She went to a job interview already. She's working very hard this semester. Let's wish her well.

Mommie has gotten pink eye and you are slowly recovering from your cold. Happy thoughts are sent your way so that the two of you will feel well very soon. Let's pray that your daddy doesn't get sick.

I hope to see you real soon, even though I saw you last Monday-Columbus Day, I can't get enough of your cute little face.

I pray that God will keep the three of you safe and well. Prayers also for the Fernandez and Rincon clan.

Much love,
Lela Carmen
