At First Sight
By Amia Kennedy
It was a rainy day, and me and my sisters and I were all at home. My mom was getting a check up on her pregnancy,Ali was babysitting us because we were young,so my mom called after every 20 minutes”Hey guys I have something astonishing that is going to happen”
“What”!
`“I’m having Aksel”(At that moment so much was going through my head) I did not know what to think ,I was soooo excited but why was my mom having the baby and then I realized that my mom was being induced and I knew that my mom was thinking first thing was that my mom did not want to be induced and 2nd that she wanted to have 2 smooth births (fyi I was the best birth)and that I wanted and did not want to go because my sisters were making hot chocolate
“Do you still want to go”my mom said
“Well…yes.. I do! then my mom texted Mrs. Kate (my friends mom)
And before I knew it, I was in Mrs.Kate’s car“Hey sweetheart let’s go to hannaford and get you some things to eat ,[and honestly I was so hungry for lunch!!]. I was in the gluten free isle and I found these delicious foods :cookies,fruit bars,and then for other things that were not in that isle were:mints,grapes and then something to do:crossword puzzle.”okay I think I’m done”
“Okee-do-kee”Mrs.Kate said . I actually thought about saying can i get candy but I already got some mints so. About a couple minutes later…WE WERE THERE!! I literally was so excited I wanted to BARF( by the way, it’s just an expression because I was so excited), I can’t remember what my moms number was for her room? But I do know that she bumped a lady.
As me and mrs.Kate were walking Up the stairs I was thinking: this is the first time I will be at someone’s birth!! I could not believe my eyes, we were on the 2 level of the floor and that meant we were walking up the stairs , meanwhile when we were walking, I thought about when my mom actually told me that I was going to be an older sister
“Hi sweetheart” said my mom
“Hi Mom,I am so excited for this”!? As soon as I sat my stuff down I started to ask questions?
“When are you going to have him” why, why ,WHY!!!!”a lot of time has passed since I stopped asking questions!
My mom had to get this thing done I don’t know why? So this lady (one of the nurses) walked around with me and we talked about my mom and my life it was pretty nice just saying everything on my mind then.
I wondered if she was judging me when I said everything that was on my mind after my mom got whatever she had to get done a while later my mom started screaming and screaming at 12:00 at night while I was sleeping uh 🙁 so my mom woke me up 3 times 1 time at 12:00 then another time at 1:00 and 3:00 so i only got 3 hours of sleep but it was worth it then the most awesome thing had happened
AKSEL Was coming you would think it is disgusting,well it is because of some of the blood but the people told me and my dad told me that it was natural. I gotta put Aksels first diaper on him and cut the cord(If you don’t Know what the cord Is It Is the thing that connects to the mother and the baby)
It was so cool my uncle came and saw Aksel It was so squished like a giant in a human car!!( I honestly think you should be there at your sister-brothers birth cause you get to experience one in a lifetime thing cherish moments!)
After that Mrs.Kate picked me up “hey kiddo,how was it”
Oh it was awesome I ate so much cookies and mints and I played games”
“Great “
“Well I do have a full stomach”.
A couple minutes later we were at my house and then I realized when I got in my bedroom that was brave! Then my sisters,
(Ali and Addie asked my about my time I said it was good and I told them that I video taped Aksels birth it was a little interesting but I was glad that I went to Aksels birth cause if I did go then I would never have been completed and I would not know what I would do if that happened, it seemed crazy to them but i was there at birth and like I said before I was brave I told them”I am brave”!
