This past year, obviously, has been super adventurous for my mama. She managed to finish her second-to-last year of clinical rotations (5th year), and study for and take her last two medical licensing exams. Please keep in mind that she did all of this while toting me along for the ride, continuing to demonstrate her commitment of becoming a physician. Since my expected arrival date is October 5 (my mom's birthday), my mom decided it would be best to take a year off of medical school for maternity leave. It will be so nice to have some quality mama-baby time. Don't worry. She will commence her last ten months of medical school rotations in August of 2015. Now, she gets to do it with a loving family in tote. My mama will have so many new tales to share with you as a mama doc, raising a Cuban-American baby in Cuba, all the meanwhile finishing her Cuban medical school education. For now, she and I are nesting in El Paso, TX, preparing for my soon-to-be-arrival. My mama feels so blessed to have friends and family located all over the country and world; however, that fact makes it very difficult to plan the traditional baby shower. But, when has anything in her life been "traditional?" There is a party planned for September 7, here, in El Paso, but that makes it practically impossible for all of you to celebrate in person with us. She is hoping that you may assist her in preparing for my arrival by purchasing some much needed items from our baby registry at amazon.com. Here is the link: http://www.amazon.com/

Mama Doc
Hola! Many of you do not know me yet, but you know my soon-to-be-mama, Sarah. Surprise! I am Leonardo Robert. Here is a recent photo of me taken during my last ultrasound. Although my mama is super comforted to know that I have grown and developed into a big, beautiful baby boy, I think she is still trying to process my weighing approximately 8.5 to 9 pounds as I travel through her birth canal.
