There's a light at the end of the tunnel!!!!

Well, we have been doing all sorts of exercises since I last spoke with you all, both mental and physical too. The latter is rather difficult as space in here is getting really rather tight, I can stretch out one leg (that's what those lower extremities are called I have discovered from the manual as opposed to the upper appendages being called 'arms') or an arm, but that is all unlike moving them at all at the same time.

But the mental exercises are much more interesting. Mummy and Dad are continuing there Hypno-birthing techniques and now after talking about rainbows and how nice the whole process is going to be, most nights we manage to fall asleep, even though I am usually wide awake at this time and getting ready to explore and have another session with the manual

But just the other day there was an unusual happening - well most things are still unusual as it is still all very new, but this was newer than most. A lot of people came to our home, all of which I had sensed before, but not all together as they were this time. We had Oma and Grandpa John, Baba and Nonna, Giovanna, Robert and Sue (his wife), Clelia (who keeps making things and giving money for me), as well as Mummy and Daddy. Oh there were two small furry people called Nellie & Jed who are much smaller than the others and walk on all four appendages at the same time. As they arrived I sensed that they suddenly lost interest in even me, as the Turkey was smelt by them. (The manual tells me smelling is all to do with the nose - a small appendage in the middle of my face - but you would know all about that I think, for me I tried it but got all sorts of the fluid in me which I did not like much. I wonder if air will be easier to smell and breath when I come out - not long now!!!)

So the turkey was much more of an interest to them, especially as it had been cooked and was on the trolley, so at their height, they did not even have to jump up to get to it. It was being offered on a platter to them, or so their thinking went. They have much simpler thoughts than the others and so easier for me to follow.

I worked out that Baba had not gotten up extra early that morning (just as I had been going to sleep if I remember correctly), so that the Jellies (Oma calls them that) to get it before the others had a chance, so I told Mummy through the emergency line all about it, - I know that it is only to be used for telling Mummy that we are ready to get on with the next bit - and we saved the day (and the turkey). We were the heros of the day. Maybe they could have made more of a fuss about my quick thinking, but soon there was far too much else happening to thinking about it.

Lots of food was arranged on the table for us all to eat, and I got to taste lots of it. Slices of pink fish called Salmon, baby eggs from a bird called quail, pigs in a blanket (neither wool garmented porkines nor anything to do with that silly name) but very tasty snacks from the same animal. All sorts of stuffing balls, dates with cheese stuffed in them, biscuits from Germany, France and Italy, as well as that Turkey we had saved. The others also drank a magic drink with real gold floating on bubbles in it, but we were not allowed to have any as it was alcoholic. (The manual told me it was a poison you guys imbibe some times and that it can make you feel strange. I am feeling strange all the time now, it is all so new, I won't need any)

Anyway not only food and drink in copious quantities was consumed but then they began strangely giving each other all sorts of things, not just to me as is the usual way they behave around Mummy and me. (Manual tells me it has to do with the birthing day of someone else a long time ago. But I got all sorts of stuff this time too. I got a special gym for exercising my appendages when I come out, also more clothes and money from Mummies aunt Clelia (again) - These are vouchers which I can change for presents at a later time - and a whole basket from Baba and Nona's neighbors with all sorts of things in them.

Mummy got lots of stuff too, a big picture frame for putting pictures of me on (its a digital one - are there any other types?), all sorts of bubbly things for her bath, and even a nice bracelet she wanted. She particularly liked the gloves I got Daddy to buy for her when he was in Italy.

But in the end it all got a bit too much for me - they really can do things for such a long time without feeling sleepy. Me it was time for another nap
