Fairwell to grandma

Today, we were at the airport saying goodbye to Ximena’s grandma who accompanied us for three months. It was a sad day, but we will see her again soon.

Hoy fuimos al aeropuerto a despedir a la abuelita de Ximena que nos acompañó por tres meses. Fue un día triste, pero la veremos muy pronto otra vez.

Day One, March 5th 2008

Ximena (pronounced hee-men-ah) Victoria Whyte was born on a Wednesday, eleven minutes past noon. She weighed 6 pounds and 15 oz and was 20.25 in. long. Ximena is a long baby for a couple of shorty parents (5'-1" and 5'-8") but not quite as heavy as we want her to be. We are working on getting her fatter with her delicious (not!!) elemental formula.



Ximena Victoria Whyte nació un miércoles a las doce y once minutos de la tarde. Pesó 6 libras y 15 onzas (3.15kg) y midió 51.4 centímetros. Ximena es una bebé bastante larga para ser hija de padres tan bajitos (153cm y 175cm) pero no tan gordita como quisiéramos. Estamos tratando de engordarla un poquito con su fórmula elemental.

A look back

I guess it would also be nice to take a look back and see me a few weeks before her birth because the size of my belly was absolutely unexpected by most. It was quite a challenge to move around, but I must say, I didn't get to feel as uncomfortable as other women do by the end of their pregnancies.
También es interesante observar unas semanas antes de su nacimento, lo gigantesca que estaba mi barriga. Aunque sí se volvió bastante difícil moverme, en realidad no me sentía tan incomoda como dicen muchas mujeres sentirse al final de sus embarazos.
