A light … I realize I can ponder this light … I realize I have more than that ability … I am warm … I have … fingers … I explore my fingers … a thumb … I begin to suck my thumb … I move my feet gently … I am surrounded by … the world I know. I hear sounds … I feel a sound as it moves from one end of me to the other. I start kicking against the softness of my world. There are hard places in my world too. My world changes … it points in different directions some times. I hear sounds … I feel the softness in them … I know this sound … it is the voice of my mommy as she talks to me. I don’t understand the words … I know what they mean … she loves me very much.

A small bright light suddenly flairs. It is so bright it hurts my eyes. I kick. I kick hard. The light goes quickly away. I relax in my soft caressing world. I am getting bigger and my world is getting tight. I don’t understand time … I just know here. I hear a sound over and over in mommy’s voice … Baby … I am baby above all else in the world I know. I feel something pressing from out side my world. I gently push my foot against the pressure … I hear a sound … it’s a very happy sound … This happens again many times. It makes me very happy.

Suddenly … my world grabs me very firmly … I hear mommy making distressing sounds … I feel my world squeezing me very tightly … I am being forced out of my world through a very tight place … I am having problems with not getting enough air … I am being squeezed so tightly … I am being ejected from the only world I know … I see a bright light … I am being forced out into this light … I feel my world as it slips off my body and something else has me. I feel cold … haven’t felt this way before … I am held upside down by my heels … a sharp smack on my bottom … I cry … I hear many coos and I am wrapped gently in a warm blanket.

I hear cheers … I even know what cheers are … I am given to … Mommy!!! She coos to me. She kisses me softly. I see her smiling face. I am loved.

Mommy says, “I will call her Lisa Marie.”
