The proper spanish translation for “to give birth” is “dar a luz”, directly translated back to english this means “to give light”. I can’t think of a more poetic way to say it. Amazing.
We’re now in the 40th week, and depending on who you talk to, our date was either the 12th or it’s tomorrow (the 17th). We’ve been in a kind of escalating limbo, waiting for little man to decide he wants to be born, (although technically speaking, it’s probably the woman’s body that makes that decision). We’re trying to catch up on sleep, movies and fending off hourly calls from concerned family and friends hoping that things have progressed. My father has taken to calling him “Godot”, as we’re definitely feeling a little like main characters in Waiting for Godot.
