Wow, yesterday was some day. It was a wonderful day, but woah was it rough. My day started just like every day of the past 41 weeks. I woke up in my womb. It was a comfortable day, although I did not sleep too much the evening before (my mom was so restless & the womb walls kept contracting every 5-7 minutes). But after only a few hours, I felt pressing, lots of pressing (like lots of giant hands) on my womb; and my mom was rolling side to side and back again - it was like a crazy rollercoaster (or so I am told – never seen one of those things before). My mom and dad later told me it was nurses at the hospital pressing my womb trying to find me.
Next thing I know, I am being taken out of my womb by some guy. I did not want to go, it was so warm and cozy inside. At first, I thought I was being abducted by aliens. Someone stuck a squishy turkey baster down my throat, nose and ears (so gross). I started to cry. It was scary. After several minutes of poking and prodding by these people in masks, a nice man came over and started to leak from his eyes. I call this man Daddy. While I have never seen him, his voice sounded familiar and he has a weird fascination with giving me raspberries. Daddy picked me up, wrapped me in warm blanket and took me over to this woman who was lying down. I recognized this woman immediately, she was my mom. They saved my from this alien abduction, but for some reason they did not put me back in my womb. That was disappointing at first, but we have had a lot of fun bonding since (I am glad not to go back).
While Mommy rested, Dad took me into the next room and we played! Once Mommy came out we cooed and cuddled and had even more fun.
But, life has not been all giggles. For some reasons every few hours a weird black gunk shoots out of the back of my body. It is gross, really gross, and it make me cry. The nurses come wipe me all over when this happens (but not my dad). Also, my midsection gurgles. Mom makes it stop by holding my close to her. Also, sometimes I cry for no reason.
Day 1 is now over, it has been one crazy day that ended with lots of all night hugs and kisses from my mom and dad. It is tough being a baby, but I am excited for day 2. My mom and dad took lots of pictures from my first 24 hours out of my womb. Check them out online.
Love, Phin
PS – A special thanks to Dad for typing my posting as I cooed it to him – my finger are too yittle to type.
