My visit to Canada


Niagara Falls was awesome. The view from our Hotel was great (unfortunately it rained). If it wasn't from the rain I could have taking more photos of it. Our hotel experience was just fair. Our hotel suite had a busted microwave and the cable did die for a few minutes. If it wasn't for the view, the hotel experience would have been bad. Our breakfast was good, Nada (our server) was great.




The Maid of the Mist ride was a treat, but of course you have to get wet. I didn't use my Nikon D90 when we took the ride. I was too afraid that it will destroy my DLSR. A friend of mine took some photos with his point-and-shoot which came handy.






Meeting my brother was great. I last saw him since September 2007, when I left for US. Mika and Kira are all big. I met his new born son Javi. Leany gave Hazel her used maternity pants (thanks for that). 

Seeing Toronto from was a great experience specially for me who is afraid of heights. My wife even had her picture taken from the glass floor.


Well, I guess that's it for now about my Canada experience.

It's a boy!

It's a boy! The doctor said when we asked him during the fetal anatomy scan yesterday. The baby is also healthy and well. To hear the doctor say the baby is healthy and well was good enough for me and the gender of the baby was just a bonus. As the ultrasound was done by the doctor, I could see my baby moving his hands. It was open and with complete fingers. The doctor tried to scan the face but he can't get a clear view because the baby was covering it with his hands and he's moving a lot.

The doctor did a great job explaining everything we need to know about our baby. He was funny and energitic. I was really comfortable and very confident that we have enough information to know about my baby, thanks to the staff in SonoScan in Forest Hills, New York.

Well, that's it for now. Time to shop for the baby's stuff.

By the way, I'm naming my baby "Xavi".

Excited for tomorrow...i hope it's a boy...

I had a dream a last week that I was playing with a little girl, so, I'm lowering my expectation that it will be a boy. But people say that dreams are always the opposite of what will happen. A lot of our friends are saying it's a boy because of my wife's tummy is kinda pointed in shape. Whatever will be the result of the anatomy scan tommorow.

I will gladly accept it. I will update this tommorow...got to go back to work
