Vanessa is coming sooner

Hello dear family,

I hope this letter will find you all well, in good health and good spirit.

Steven and I are very excited today and ready to share the new with you.

We went to the doctor's office yesterday and found out that Vanessa will be here next weekend. Don't worry, she is doing fine, just a little small. The reason is that she is not getting all the nutrients from the placenta. By delivering earlier she will be able to grow better outside the womb.

She will be 36 weeks next weekend, which is the time when lungs are perfectly developed. So hopefully she will not need to go to NICU.

We are confident that everything will go well and we are now ready to meet her. Everything is well planned and understood now (I will have to have a csection), so we are doing well and we are psycologically ready, just getting things ready for her arrival. And we are already giving her all the love she needs to go through this.

So, if all goes well and as planned, she will born next weekend: Sunday April 15th... yes!! that is Steven Bday !! Isn't this great !! she will be an amazing human being like her daddy !!

Well !! no party for Steven's Bday this year... but at least, I don't have to worry about a good present!! He will get the best present in the world!!

Steven and I would like to thank you all for your thoughts and words of encouragement over the last months. We appreciated all your help and advices.

Lots of kisses and Love for all of you
Steven and Manuela
