...and it was a girl - ...y nació una nena.
Just born - Recién nacidaLondon, 23rd January 1984
Dear Alejandrina,
First of all, thanks for the package, we have drunk a lot of mate after so long without “yerba”. Thank you!
The shirt for the baby is lovely; she will soon be able to wear it because she’s growing very fast. She suckles very well, has put on 400 grs already and she is only 2 weeks and 2 days. She is as greedy as her brother and luckily I have a lot of milk again, so she will grow fast. It seems she will also be large although she weighed 500 grs less than Pablo at birth for a girl that is on the large side.
We called her Francesca (it’s pronounced Franchesca) Louise (Luisa in French), so she has a very European name! It had to go well with Grillo, which here they pronounce “Grilo”, like in Italian. Her grandfather’s name suits her because she looks so much like Oscar, who in turn takes after his father. She has the same shape face and the same eyes. Her gestures are similar too and as I don’t think she’ll change a lot as she grows I think this girl is Oscar’s and I’ve had nothing to do in the matter.
Pablo is more of a mixture although he looks a lot like me but little Francisca belongs to her daddy. How funny! Sometimes I feel like I am holding a miniature Oscar in my arms!
Pablo is over the moon and he always says: “Thank you mum for giving us this lovely little baby!” and to think that he wanted a baby brother! He is very happy and not jealous at all. He is such a love.
We have taken many photos and as soon as we have prints I will send copies to everyone.
Ah! We also received your letter and the card as well as those from Alicia and family. I will write to them when I have the photos to send. For the time being I send lots of love to everybody and thanks for all the good wishes.
We have had a very happy Christmas and New Year, quietly waiting for this little baby who arrived 6 days late but very calmly. It was a very quick and normal birth and she is beautiful and healthy. What more can one ask for? We are really very lucky. I must now say goodbye with a big kiss to everyone and especially to you, Alejandrina, from
Patricia

Querida Alejandrina:
Antes que nada, gracias por la encomienda, tomamos mucho mate ahora, después de tanto tiempo sin yerba. ¡Gracias!
La camisita para la nena es preciosa y pronto la va a poder usar porque está creciendo como loca. Toma mucha leche y ya aumentó 400 g, y hoy tiene 2 semanas y 2 días. Es una glotona igual que su hermano y por suerte tengo mucha leche otra vez, así que va a crecer rápido. Parece que va a ser grande también, aunque nació con 500 g menos que Pablo para una nena es grande.
Le pusimos de nombre Francesca (se pronuncia Franchesca) Louise (Luisa en francés), o sea que tiene un nombre muy europeo! Pero queda bien con Grillo que aquí pronuncian Grilo, como en italiano. Así que se llama como su abuelo y como se parece tanto a Oscar, que se parece a su padre, le queda bien.
Tiene la misma forma de cara y los mismos ojos. Hace gestos iguales y no puedo creer que cambie mucho al crecer, así que me parece que esta nena es solamente de Oscar y yo no tuve nada que ver en el asunto. Pablo es más una mezcla, aunque se parece bastante a mi, pero la Francisquita es de su papito. ¡Qué risa! A veces me parece tener en brazos a Oscar en miniatura.
Pablo está chocho y me dice siempre “¡Gracias mamá por darnos esta bebita tan preciosa”! Y eso que el quería un varón! Está encantadísimo y para nada celoso. ¡Es un amor!Le sacamos muchas fotos y en cuanto tenga copias mandaré a todos.
¡Ah! Recibimos su carta también, y la tarjeta, y también la de Alicia y flía. Les voy a escri bir cuando tenga las fotos así les mando. Por ahora les mando muchos cariños a todos y gracias por los buenos deseos.
Nosotros pasamos unas fiestas muy lindas, tranquilos, esperando a esta bebita que llegó 6 días tarde, pero con mucha tranquilidad.
Fue un nacimiento rápido y normal y ella es preciosa y sana. ¿Qué más se puede pedir? Tenemos mucha suerte realmente. Ahora me despido con un beso muy grande a todos y especialmente a Ud, Alejandrina, de
Patricia.

Mi hija nació unos cinco meses mas tarde, también en invierno: en Buenos Aires.
Y sigue siendo la cópia de su papá...
Hola Danixa y Dodo, gracias por pasar. Francesca no solamente se parecía a su papá sino también a uno de sus dibujos. Sobre todo al personajito de la manzana en la cabeza. Qué cosa.
es mi tocaya, oscarcito!!!!
: )
Y la nena es hoy una mujer pero con cara de nena seguramente también con espíritu de nena.
Hermoso todo Patry, como siempre, como todo lo que haces.
Alicia
