What’s in the name..
Last night I was talking to your dad over the phone. We were brainstorming on your name. But just to let you know we already came up way before on a name if you are a boy you will be “Inigo John C. Tabladillo” nick name I.J… (nice?).. anyway anak, i thought of Inigo a spanish name meaning Fiery or Passion since your dad and I are so much passionate about each other…heheh mushy?
Anyway, last night your dad was suggesting “Laetisha Andrea C. Tabladillo” for a girl or nick name L.A… so I thought it was fine . i asked him where he got Laetisha because I already thought of Andrea way before that was a take of from his name Andrew. Andrea the female version of Andrew your dad’s name. So going back. I thought it was okay when we suddenly realized L.A. is the same name with L.A. Lopez… the actor not good… hmmmmm… Then I thought of Tisha Ann? or back to my original suggestion which is “Andrea Caitlyn C. Tabladillo” nickname A.C. i wanted the nickname A.C. for you… so what do you think? You think you will like your name for a girl huh A.C. and I.J for a boy huh? ooppss i felt you kicking.. I guess that’s a yes… okay till then anak.. i love you so much!!

San Diego, California
It’s a Tuesday afternoon anak, in the resident of your Lolo Manoy. Today is my 23 day here. I’m waiting for Aug 10th to drive with your Lolo JB to Salinas. It’s an 8 hour drive from San Diego. We’ll for your geography, Salinas is very near San Francisco like around two hours away from Sanfo it’s the weather is really cold. Soon you’ll hear about the movie ”Escape From Alcatraz”, it’s in San Francisco.
I’m 22 weeks pregnant with you anak and you’ve been kicking and playing football inside my tummy almost all the time. Sometimes it bothers me because I don’t know if I get scared of the feeling or kindda makes me uncomfortable. You are my first baby. Everything you made feel is my first time. Sometimes I get too emotional here anak, you just don’t know how difficult it is for me to be away from your dad just to secure you a good future. We wanted you to be born here in America. I know sooner or later you will benefit from this anak and also your younger siblings if ever. All our sacrifices to be away from each other in the crucial days and moments of our lives it is then all for you. Because we love you so much anak. Just be healthy inside me I’m eating all the nutritious foods here and thinks about your wellness anak. I pray each night that you are okay inside me just playing your football. I stay away from all stressful agents as much as I can so as not to affect you inside. Although i’m very emotional and sensitive lately since your dad is not beside me but still I try to be strong for you. Your dad gives me strength each day to fight and live. So hold on anak, I’ll do all sacrifices just for you because I love you so much.
