Life will not be the same without you. The first
day when I found out I was pregnant I fell in love with you. I kept imagining
what you would actually look like. I read heaps books about babies and tried to
relate them to you. I kept talking to you at night when nobody was around. I
monitored my tummy every day. I just couldn't wait to see your face. I was
counting the days as they passed by. I reminded myself that I need to be good
to everybody and have a nice temper because I believed that you would get
affected. I kept thinking about you during my work and in my dream. My first
child!
I had a very long labour, 26 hours in fact, and had
taken a lot of painkillers. When I first saw you, I thought "Oooo! ",
how come you look so funny. Your skin was so pink and wrinkly. I was
overwhelmed with joys and tiredness. I couldn't hold you at all because my
hands were shaking from taking too many painkillers.
When I had a closer look at you the next day, I
realised you are the cutest baby I have ever seen. I never got tired of looking
at you. I love your little bold head, your big thumbs, little button nose and
your little feet.
I left you with your grandparents when you were
five months old. But I did not feel guilty because I knew that they would look
after you well. I haven't had much trouble with you. But everybody was saying
that you have been very spoiled. Luckily I think you are not so bad in that
area.
I am very glad that I have you.
