Hey, I Didn't Know That...
In talking with my Mom shortly after I had
Finn, she began to tell me about the night that I was born. It turns
out that when she had me, the umbilical cord was wrapped around my neck
three times and I was delivered looking a “lovely” shade of blue. Due to
that, I was placed in the ICU for several days after my birth in an
isolette, and my Mom said that whenever they took me out of the
isolette, I turned blue again. Apparently I was having issues with my
breathing, and I was definitely NOT a preemie, in fact I was about 3 1/2
weeks overdue (my poor, poor mother….) so I’m guessing it had nothing
to do with immature lungs. How did I not know this story about my own
birth? I know I have asked my Mom many times before to tell me about the
day I was born….so how did this not come up in the 35 years since then?
I must not be asking the right questions. I wonder what else I should
know about?
