Woh! Finally, I got to see you. You are so tiny and that little rag doll next to you looked big and threatening. You cover exactly 1/4th of that crib, so there is a long way to go. You seem to sleep a LOT, like most of the time really. Either that or you are thinking about changing the world with your eyes closed. I’d suggest you enjoy this time doing whatever you are doing with your eyes closed because once you open them, there is a whole lot of reality out there that you got to face – global warming, poverty and epidemics. Also, you look intriguing with those shrill cries and half-open eyes.
I wonder why you are so tired considering the only other things you do are eat and poop. Your dad seems very excited and usually lies next to you touching your hands and kissing you softly. He needs some sleep really. Your mom is very tired, and from the look in her face, seems quite happy that you are out after the 10-month ordeal. It’s funny when everybody in the house tries to talk to you, as you seem to have the same reaction. You open your eyes for a flash second, then close it and go back to your semi-comatose state. You are very fascinating to me. Your dad put me next to you this morning as I woke up, and I just sat there watching you. I wish I could tell you that you are out of the womb and don’t need to sleep in that fetal position anymore. That or maybe you were turning away from my morning breath. Thing is you could pretty much sleep any style now, and there is no space constraint either. Also, if I were in your place of clout, I would ask for the darnest things as I know nobody would dare say “No”. Including me.
Wish I could hug you tight, but you are really small and am scared I will crush you. Woohoo! You are 5 full days old.
