Baby Gerard

While I was away in Formentera, something very special was happening back in Barcelona.
Susanna was about to become a mother forever and the long awaited Gerard was about to make his grand appearance. Halfway into my vacations I got a very excited phone call from Sergi announcing that 4days later than expected, little Gerard finally decided to let go of his slumbering hideout and come to the world.

More than a month has gone by now and I am watching this little jellybean grow, create his own little self and form his features somewhere between Susanna and Sergi. I also have the honor of watching as Susanna tends to him, whispers their very own language and holds him tight. Although, motherhood contains many responsibilities, changes and developments, I admire the secretive relationship that they have. I do have to admit I am a little jealous that he has taken "my spot" but we have come to terms with it and now I have my very own language with him to and I love how when I hold him he gets quiet and listens to me and waits for me to take the next step.


I also like that when I get off of work, it is a matter of walking down a few blocks, crossing the chaotic avenue, getting into an antique elevator and entering Susanna's apartment where the sun keeps it warm and the smells are of birth, innocence, baby powder and peace, where I drop my bags, take off my jacket, turn off my phone and stop to speak nonsense to someone who has suddenly appeared.
He is turning into my little escape and my little buddy.

Welcome to the world Gerard!
