Ladies and gentlemen, this is (not) me…

This is the first guest post in my blog…

Hello world!!!

by Sebastien Peter Laforteza

7 Dec 2007 around 3PM in the afternoon, I felt my little home pushing against me.  It is like it is trying to get me to go somewhere else.  But where?  And why would I want to leave?

It has been a very comfortable 39 weeks for me.  I was in my cozy home, filled with lovely warm fluids.  A rythmic pulse in the background that helps lull me to sleep.  A once in awhile gush of energy from my cord that causes me to feel so excited and alive.  Everytime I kick and nudge, I hear wonderful giggles from a familiar voice. 

But now it feels like my soft home is trying to move me downwards.  Wait, what’s happening?  The nice warm fluid around me is gushing out.  It is going thru that opening just at the top of my head.  There’s that push again.  Hmm, let me see if i can find out where that warm fluid went.  I will try to kick so that I can reach the opening.  Oh it’s a bit hard, but the opening got slightly bigger.  Maybe if I time my kick with the pushing, I can see what is beyond the opening.

I can hear another familiar voice.  But this time, this deep voice sounded firm and excited, much different a couple of weeks ago, when it was more soothing and relaxing.  Then there are these other unfamiliar voices, but they all sound excited and encouraging.  The sound is louder in the opening.  I really want to see what is beyond it.

Ok, I can feel that this is a big push, now time for my kick.  Hiyaa!  I got closer to the opening.  But still not yet there.  The voices are getting louder.  I am getting excited myself.  Maybe if I mold my head a bit so that i can fit thru the opening, it will be much easier.

Another big one coming, one big kick!  I’m almost there.  Hey what is this?  Suddenly, the top of my head felt cold.  Oh, another push comi…ooomppph…..aaah!  What is this passing thru my little nose.  It feels weird and it is making me sneeze out some of the warm fluids.  My whole head feels cold, and everything seems to be bright.  I can now hear the voices more clearly.  Am I thru the opening?  But wait, my arms and legs, how do I get them thru the opening too?  Maybe if I do this little twist…yes!  My shoulders out.  Oh, the rest of me just slid thru easily.  Now I feel cold, and the bright lights and loud voices are starting to scare me.  Where am I?  What am I suppose to do here?  Get me back in.  Get me back in!!!  "Uwaaaaaahhhh!!!"

(a few minutes after)

I can hear the deep familiar voice again.  But this time, it feels closer.  And it sounds soothing and reassuring again.  It’s getting really closer.  I guess I shouldn’t be afraid.  Oh wow, I felt warm again.  I am feeling much better now.

Oops, now I am feeling something by my lips.  It is warm and soft.  It feels so nice.  What if I open my mouth wide and let it….gulp!  Woah, this feels really good!  Wait, I can hear another familiar voice.  This soft voice, I have been hearing a lot.  This is the voice behind a nice song.  I like that song.  But the voice is closer.  I like it.  I love this. 

I’m sure glad I went thru that opening.
