Dear Baby,

We just had our send-off party! We’ll be going to our hometown, where Daddy and Mommy were born and raised. You’ll meet Daddy’s and Mommy’s respective families! They are all excited to see you and welcome you as the newest addition to our families!

Thank God that everything went well. God made it so smooth for us – the transition, the travel, the plans. Thank You, Lord. Thank you, baby, for being our inspiration.

I’d been meaning to write this letter to you a few days back, but I was so busy preparing our things. Anyway, I wanted to tell you about the incident that happened last Nov.15. I was away from you for half an hour. I went to our bedroom to use the laptop. When I went out, you were sort of angry at Mommy. You shouted as if to say “where have you been, Mommy?”, when you saw me coming out from the room. Both Daddy and Mommy were surprised with your reaction because you really shouted, “wah!” with matching movement of your arms and feet in an abrupt manner.

People have been happy to hear you talk. They said that you’re really such a talkative baby! You mimic what we have to say. One time, I said in an agitated manner, “gatas!”, and you said in the same manner that I did, “gata!”. Mommy should be careful in dealing with you, really. Hehe.

It’s past 1a.m. now, in fact, two minutes before 2a.m. I should be sleeping now. Tomorrow’s the last day to pack our things. I am not yet done with the packing. I still have to buy some few things tomorrow, too.

This is all for now.

iloveyou,

mommy

Dear Baby,

Hi baby! We just arrived from a tiring flat-hopping! We were looking for a new flat, and we didn’t find any vacant flat for this month. We’re hoping to get a new one at the soonest time possible, as much as possible before we leave for our travel back home. Speaking of travel back home, we already got a new schedule, and Daddy is going with us! Whoa! Our dream for a first family travel (international and local) will materialize three weeks from now! But yes, Daddy won’t be home for Christmas…and we’d be away from him for almost two months. He would sorely miss you, baby. We just had our family photo op awhile ago. He’d often see your pictures in his laptop whenever he misses you.

God worked in His own mysterious ways, really. He opened the way for us. Thank God that there were vacant plane slots for the three of us. Daddy and Mommy are praying that everything will be smooth tomorrow, on the day that Daddy will say something important to someone.

Tonight, you said the words “what’s that” although in your own baby way “WAT TAT”! And baby, you’re so cute! WAT TAT! You’re so talkative, really.

Our baby doctor told you that it’s as if everything that you eat/drink goes to your brain for you’re brainy, while your body isn’t nourished that much. You’re still weighing less although we thought that you already gained much weight. But at least you gained 3 cm from the last monthly check up that we had. Mommy is certain that you will gain weight in our country back home. You will eat taho, pork, and every thing, except for eggs. You still have rashes on your face and our baby doc told us that you should refrain from eating eggs up to the time you reach your first birthday.

This is all for now. My eyes are too sleepy already. You’re still widely awake, and you’re gleefully playing with Daddy.

iloveyou,

mommy
