Me

Surely with parents like mine I’m going to be the most photographed baby around. See for yourself how many they’ve taken after just a few days. Click here to see more photos. Here is my story.

Everyone was waiting for me to appear on Thanksgiving, my Daddy even hoped a little bit that I would wait an extra week for his birthday but I didn’t want to have to endure all the Turkey jokes so I decided to make my appearance before Halloween (“pumpkin baby” is much cutter than “turkey baby”).

So I set my root three weeks early, taking everybody by surprise. Monday October 30^th, my Mom called my Daddy where he was working and told him to catch the first plane back to San Francisco. Of course, the flight was two hours late, which didn’t help anyone to relax.

Finally everyone was together in San Francisco at 4:45pm. When Daddy came into the room, there was a rainbow over the bay, and finally everybody was ready for me. I was born at 5:42pm.

After that, the doctors took me into the corner to make sure everything was working. I was able to help them by giving them a demonstration that the plumbing was working and soon everyone knew that the lungs were working as well. The statistics:

• 3                                     weeks in advance (I am a little precocious)

• 6 pounds 4 ounces   weight at birth

• 18 1/2                             inches from head to toe (at least that’s what the doctors decided to say, considering that I refused to let them stretch my legs to take an accurate measurement)

We recuperated in the hospital until Wednesday and came back to my new home. Waiting there was a big furry dog who really didn’t know what to make of me. Now everything is going well. The cafeteria is open 24 hours, whenever I order I am served immediately. This takes a lot of my time but I still find time to sunbathe in the garden when weather permits.

Hope to meet you all soon. Be sure to drop by when you’re in San Francisco.
