Wow. Being born is an event. Well, it was eventful. So today is Day 1.
Let's see, it started out kind of wet. I was born in big tub of warm water called an "Aqua Doula tub." I would have to rate it as an excellent way to be born. No one was wearing a mask and I didn't get spanked.
So when I popped out of the water the midwife (Kathy) put me on Mommy's chest and Daddy and Mommy held my head out of the water. I had my eyes open so I saw everything. Mommy and Dad looked happy and relieved (hey, I got it under control, quit worrying). Breathing was kind of hard. The midwife cleared my mouth and nose with a little suction bottle. Looking around, I noticed I wasn't in a hospital, I was in a house (it turns out, my house, in the daylight basement - where my future bedroom may be).
There was a midwife and her two assistants, Mommy and Daddy, Leah, and Audrey (taking pictures). On the other side of a privacy sheet were two paramedics. You see, I got a little excited (some may say agitated, I prefer excited) and I "pooped" while still in Mommy's tummy. So when Mommy's water broke it was kind of green, which made Mommy worry. So the midwife called for paramedics to be on standby just in case I needed help. Well, that was fine but I didn't NEED any help at all. I was just fine, happy and healthy. Once Leah cut the cord I was out on my own in the big wide world. Watch out world, here I come!
Other highlights from Day 1: I got to help Daddy chase deer out of the back yard (someone left the gate open), I got to poop on Daddy (and he didn't figure it out for a good 10 minutes or so, that was funny), I had lots of pictures taken of me (I like pictures), and I got to meet my new family. They are really nice, so I feel lucky.
OK, I'm kind of tired so I'm going to sign off.
