Hello World

Hi everyone. Well I thought I would say Hi and introduce myself. My name is Jacob and this is my blog. I entered the world this morning (April 26th). I as born at Guy and St Thomas in London UK. Today I am 12 hours old. A lot has happened in the last 12 hours. I have had to learn how to breath with my lungs as I have never used them before. I was up all night practicing inhaling/exhaling, inhaling/exhaling , inhaling/exhaling ,inhaling/exhaling. I think I know how this works now. My eyes are adjusting. I am learning how to make noises. And I also found this source of food last night for late night feeding. Its available to me whenever I want it. It belongs to this women they call Mummy.



I slept at the hospital with Mummy. I do not know much about her but she smells familiar and I feel very comfortable with her. She was there when I was born. She was with this guy whose name is Daddy. He left right after I was born but is allegedly coming back to the hospital today to visit. I already have a lot of friends. The midwife "Rosie" keeps coming by to checkup on Mummy and I. There was also another women at the hospital the other night as well. From what I can figure out, Mummy calls her Mummy. This is a little confusing but I think Mummy also has a Mummy. And to make things more daunting, Daddy has a Mummy to0. Daddy's Mummy was not here though. Apparently she is coming to visit very soon though. I think Daddy called his Mummy last night to tell her that he had met me. He seemed pretty excited.

All in all I feel like a pretty wise old sole at 12 hours old. I have generally been in good spirits except for when they gave me the Vitamin K needle. I did not think that this was necessary and for the first time tried yelling and screaming. As my vocal chord are not yet working, I have to keep practicing this. I plan on mastering this skill.

The place where I am staying (they call it a hospital) is right on the river Thames in London (See picture). Mummy had a view of Big Ben all day long while she awaited my arrival.



Well I have to get going. But I will be posting here on regular basis. Keep in touch and I really hope we all get a chance to meet soon.

Bye bye
Jacob (Jake)
