For those of you who didn’t know, I was actually due to come out on 21 Nov 2009. However, during those regular checkups for Mama way back in late October, I had already positioned myself to come out already. So, Mama started to rest at home and reduced her movement and other activities. I heard that Papa was rather busy during those times, so I tried my best to continue snuggling inside Mama’s womb.
Week after week, Mama would go and see the doctor who would express her surprise that I still refused to come out. Papa and Mama would talk to me every day telling me to stay in there longer so that I could grow stronger and heavier (they seem to have this obsession of having heavy babies..hmmm). Probably they were concerned I was still quite small back then in October.
Anyway, I patiently and obediently waited for more and more weeks. Papa’s big projects and events were soon past and I still obediently waited.
Before I know it, Mama was already what they call ‘full-term’ in her pregnancy, or in numbers, 40 weeks, and I still waited patiently inside.
Now if that is not a sign of obedience when I grow up, I don’t know what is. Hee!
