April 2008
Still no light of day yet. I'm still too comfortable here in my mommy's guts. It is getting a bit cramped, but I can deal. The truth is, I am nervous about coming out too early. I heard some things from this other dude that one time a baby was born too early and his lungs weren't developed yet so I'm giving mine a few more days to be ready. The Doctor says I am now considered full-term, but they are too scared to pull me out too. They won't even try to induce me until 4 more weeks!
I hear strange noises out there sometimes. My mom lays down to sleep and stops moving around for like eight hours! That's when I really get active. I do push-ups and crunches and then start the heavy stuff. I practice kick-boxing on one of my mom's squishy organs. It isn't much, but when I come out, I want to be as fit as a horse. The main reason is because when mom goes to sleep, I hear a monster growling next to her. It growls and then breathes out and growls again. Sometimes it talks too. I don't know where dad is when the monster comes, but it freaks me right the heck out!
So dad tells me about the scriptures lately. It sounds familiar and I like to hear him talking. Mom leads the music in something she calls Primary. I like to hear the children singing, it sounds familiar too. I know I came here from somewhere else, but I just can't quite remember where it was. I know what you're thinking, and no I don't have amnesia...I think. Do people with amnesia know they have it? Either way, I like to hear what dad tells me is known as The Good News. I know I am scared to come out early, but I am sure excited to join such a loving family. I know they love me and are happy for me to join them too. I can't wait to eat food and play with colorful things and feel ways about stuff. Dad says after I am born he is going to teach me all about some things called Legos and Robotics. I hope I like them, whatever they are. Soon enough I will be meeting you all and making friends. Be patient with me while I try to remember all your names. And also be patient while I try to learn your language.
I know I came from someplace special and I am coming to someplace good. I feel good when my dad tells me about the scriptures. Is there anything else I should know? If there is you can email it to me at my new address. Dad just set it up for me. Here it is:
ethan@duhkee.comor for those fond of google:
ethan.hennis@gmail.comThey both get to me so it doesn't matter which you use.
Thank you all for reading my posts. The next one I do will probably be from outside my mommy. It's a good thing, too because my Palm Treo's battery is about dead. How else did you think I was posting from inside my mom's guts? There ain't room in here for a laptop!
