Sunday 7th of October

This morning I decided to go for it...it seemed it caused a lot of pain for my mother as well but I had to go out of this place. Without much water it's not so comfortable to stay here any longer...not at all like before.
The midwife put some things around my mother's stom to meassure my heartbeat and the contractions. When the contractions were on top my heartbeat fell too much and the doctors didn't like it, they were concerned for my wellbeing and I must admit it was quite hard each time.
A few times they took bloodsamples from my head while I was inside to check if everything was ok with me.
I was supposed to move downwards into a channel to get out and I did as best as I could but apparently my head got stuck or some kind of wrong position so for many hours it was not much progress and I couldn't do it. Eventually the doctors decided to take me out another way and, oh boy, that was quikly. I saw some strong lights and heard something coming through my mothers belly and suddenly some hands lifted me out...I was so shocked and surprised that I immediately started to cry...and all those strong lights and I also felt a bit cold.
I saw my mother for a few seconds but I had to go with a nurse and my father to get weighed and meassured and finally some clothes and a small bed on wheels. I was 3515 g and 51 cm long; quite normal they said and I was born at 15.40 in the afternoon.
For a long time I was together with my father waiting for mom to be ready to see me. Finally I could lie down with her again....I knew it was her because I recognized her heartbeat and also I tried to suck her nipple in hope for something to drink but not much yet.
It had been a hard day for both of us so we tried to relax and sleep but if you have ever been to a hospital you'll know it's not easy because so much is going on there. Later that night another newborn baby came to my room and she was so noisy that it was hard for us to sleep.
