Dear Peanut,

I read that sometimes, fathers can feel left out during pregnancy because the ties are stronger between mother and baby. I mean, literally, the umbilical cord connects us. And even when it's cut, it connects us forever.

This is why (according to LMO) mothers feel if there's something wrong with their children, even if they don't tell. Apart from lukso ng dugo. Probably why I can't keep secrets from your Lola Mommy, hehehe. Remember how she "sensed" that we're about to say that we're pregnant even before we called them?

So I told SC that you two should have a Father and Son bonding session every night, even before you pop out. I think we started this routine at #10Weeks.

Every night, while lying in bed before sleeping, SC would place a hand on my tummy and talk to you. He always ask me, "Ano sasabihin ko?" and I would slap him (light lang, but minsan napapalakas because he tells you nonsense all the time, hahaha) and tell him to think.

Sometimes, he would tell you about the things he did during the day, what he ate (especially if it's something spicy), and found on Facebook. Random things.

Of course, you don't understand all these yet so it's actually more for me. But he would sometimes rub my stomach and I would yell, "Earthquake!" because that's probably the sensation you feel with all the vigorous movement. It became an inside joke that every now and then, he would do it and we would yell "Earthquake!" Even in the womb, he has started to troll you, hahaha.

Father and Son

Two weeks ago, we saw Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 in the cinemas. Not really a fan of the franchise but I'm a huge fan of the OST. I've become super obsessed with the song Father and Son by Cat Stevens. So I told SC to practice this and play it to you using his new electric guitar.
