Yes we need to provide to his nutrition at every hour of the day or of the night......

Considering that what it is listed is done by his parents with great love and good willing it starts a mental and physical state that makes all easy.
To do these things is not hard, at last, and we feel charged......

Good heavens!!! I have lost umbilical cord!

Emanuele's mother notices to all that she still remembers to have a blog.
As soon as she has forces and time again she will update it as usual.

Last relatives visit, and hospital practice 

Emanuele with the great-grandmother !

Considering that I feel Netherlands as my second motherland, I join my sadness with the Netherlands Fans one.
This evening the Netherlander team loose against Portugal.

Practically they are preparatory spasms, very variable in intensity and frequency from woman to woman.
Today Loredana suffered from them all day.

We hope that during the night these spasms decrease in frequency and intensity, or commute in the labour pain.

You can discover easily what will happen tonight looking at these updates.
If in late morning, you will find an update, you can discover all about tonight.
If there are no updates, ok, it is possible that we are in clinic waiting for the happy event!.

Last night (in the deep of the night of course!) I opened my eyes feeling something strange around me. 
I saw Loredana standing near the bed with a troubled face.
I thought the labour was started, and with my usual calm (faint, lost of identity, visions) I asked her what was going on.

It was not the labour starting but, in any case, was the first signal that the time is up. I omit the clinical details.

Now we are expecting for the first labour pain, that, according to the gynaecologist, it can start from one to three days.

I will keep in touch with you all, and, of course, there will be also the first photograph of the little being! :)

Read it, Thanks!!!

The "BIO" Section that was really poor, is now enriched by new contents.

Moreover, it will not be a classic "BIO" section, in which there are information about me, static, equals until the site exists.
I will add, in particular in the next opening section "Habitudes", something about me, to know me better.

At the moment there are the basic info only. But it will be updated and enriched in few rime.

In fact in Winter are really frequent the TV reports describing people being cold and dreaming for Summer. Meteorologist are questioned like oracles to know that "unfortunately" the hot "will came not until....."
As soon as the temperature is increasing, becoming frequent TV reports describing people being hot, and dreaming for some cold. Meteorologist are questioned like oracles to know that "unfortunately" the hot "will persist until....."

This is in this way from many years.
But I am wondering: the TV journalists, that reflect what many people think, what is the right temperature?!?!

Thanks to this knowledge, one can learn that already starting from 15/20 days before the delivery, a woman can feel some pain in the belly that does not have to be taken as the starting of the labour. This kind of lightly painful sensation starts from the bottom of the belly and goes to the back and in general it has different characteristics. They cause the "false alarms" of those people, less informed, rushing to the hospital.

Here in Italy, almost like in every country, there are a lot of TV commercials about the various telephone companies and their offers. (I am talking about the home telephone)
One of the best advantage that these companies show as decisive, is to pay not the basic fee, typical of the former state company Telecom.
But is it really an advantage?.

I have not a special reason to support the ex state telephone company, considering, in particular, that some years ago its seat was bring out from Turin: one of the last important society working on the city's territory.

Anyway I was not one of the people seduced by the TV sirens.
Here I explain why:
This ill-famed basic fee is of 12.14 Euro per month.
With a special option of the cost of 4.65 Euro per month I can do, through Telecom, all the phone calls I want, in and outside the city on the Italian territory.

Sacre Bleu! 12.14 + 4.65 = 16.79 Euro.

If we consider that the best offer of the other companies to speak in and outside the city, without basic fee is 18.90 Euro per month.......

I repeat, it is not my intent, absolutely, to do any interest for or against any of the telephone companies operating in Italy.
I am only saying that the commercials are useful to know, but then we have to pay attention between the various offers, basic costs, internet, etc.
All the phone companies have good offers, that can fit the needs of the customers.

I just do not understand why the battle is focused on the Telecom basic fee, because with some easy calculations we can verify that this basic fee is not the decisive reason to choose between that companies.

Here you can see as she has provided by herself to a little sewing work.

Incredibile visu!

Since months Loredana, for example, takes care to do a walk if the little being is too excited. Or she understands if she has kept a bad position and his movement are complainings, etc.

I did not think, anyway, to do also my part.

It seems that the antenatal hiccup is a common thing.
Cute him!: he is jumping in the mother's belly!

My ability of "do-it-yourself" it is not restricted to mount a shelf, of course!
But the request of the "lady of the house" was just a shelf.

Of course I have found in the wall a zone of hard cement, that requested all the battery charge to make the holes.
It also avoided me today weight lifting session.

Obviously the customer started immediately to use it.

I am proud to announce that today I open a new section of my site: the Thoughts.

I have decided to loose my reputation putting on line my thoughts about recent happenings, and not.

Happy reading!

(remark: she is not ironing her lovely husband clothes, of course, but the dressing set for our progeny.)

Today Loredana starts her period at home for the pregnancy.
At the same time it starts for me a particular period, oh, not because I have my mate all the time around, but because it represents the start of the Countdown.

Our baby is almost ready to come and a new life will start in a few days.
Both for him that "is" a new life, and for us that will change totally the our one!.

Of course most of this blog space will be kept by this event, and if you want to stay tuned about him and our new life, you have only to read here.

Considering that in Italy all is interpreted in a political way, I want to explain the use of the monarchical flag of Italy, on the blog's language choice page.

First of all I will keep a particular attention for historical facts in this site and the use of an Italian historical flag I think is nice.
Moreover, I am from Piedmont and from Turin, this poor city now forgotten here and in the world, but this city made Italy and I am proud of it.
This flag is the first of the united Italy: an historical fact.

Not only, I have to complain, at the Royal Family Savoia, the will to get out from Turin, the first Italy's capital, the city in which the Royal Family lived and became bigger, for centuries.
It seems that this city was suddenly small, moving first the Italian capital to Florence and then to Rome.

This is all, nothing more nothing less.
For the truth apart the "exceptions that confirms the rules" (like we say here) I will keep the politic far from this site.

Finally I am opening a section of my new website.
I have thought to put in a "blog", very trendy, and for the truth nice and useful to keep all friends updated about my life.

This one will be a really "home made" blog, I mean that here there will be not all the comment functions ordinary present on a blog: just the email to contact me.
And probably I will post the most interesting ones.

I like it in this way: it must be a dashboard for my friends, nothing more.

Of course I hope that these friends will come here to read me frequently!

Here I will post quick impressions and emotions, every day's stories.
For deeper and more articulated reflections I have reserved the other section "Thoughts", that I hope to open as soon as possible.
