Love at first sight

Our bonding started right from my conception, i rememeber how many times i kicked on your cervix and punched on your stomach when am nervous but you had your way of calming me down, because my view of this world was so large, how could i make anything out through your belly button window. You always thought i was going to be your girl, with each market visit you always came home with a ladies babies cloth in anticipation for the delivery of your baby girl. When my genital organ started forming, i know how disappointed you will be but how could i be your kill joy because you have already gotten lots of clothes for your baby girl. So i kept developing into a male ready to wear female clothes for the better part of my first year.

Before we knew it, it was the month of my delivery and the doctor said i was a big baby and it just had to be a caeserian section but you where so scared of the blade and took to the blessed sacrament. I felt your arms on your tommy one day with you kneeling infront of the blessed sacrament and your tears trickled down your checks,found you cleavage as it made its way to your abdomen. I felt this cold chills down my premature spines, i cannot remember vividly but i must have said a quiet prayer because i cannot be making this lady cry just because she wants to give life to me. I was depressed for a few days, if their was a way i could have stopped myself from eating, i would have but you kept eating the food, taking away the chaff, chunning it and presenting it to me the best way i needed it. But mum how do u expect me not to add wieght when i was enjoying those and lounging in your womb.

A little after middle of june, you felt water trickle down your thighs and you knew it was time, you beckoned on your husband who was going to be my loving Dad. He rushed to where we where battling, he held your hands and told you it will be fine. That meant alot to us then, emeka rushed and got the bags and escorted us to the car and said he wanted to follow, but mum you told him to take care of his other brothers. Then we made it to the hospital not without your incessant painful cries, the doctor asked them to get the theatre ready just incase she could not deliver me, with each painful cry i got more scared because i did not know why you where crying. I felt a finger approaching my head so i shifted but it hit my protection and i was like God had its way of protecting his children, i kicked on you tommy hard this time for allowing someone hand but you whispered it will soon be over my baby so i kept calm and waited to finally meet this person who had haboured me for as long as i can remember.

Soon i felt your womb squeezing me and alot of screams from the outside "madam push! Push!! Push!!!. I was like are they asking her to push me away. I was so scared that i pee'd and stooled same time. My heart started beating faster because why will they be forcing her to push me out of an environment am so used to, to where i did not know. With multiple recurrent squeezing of your tommy it kept pushing me through a canal and no matter how i tried to hang on, i was overpowered by the incessant push and i was terrified with the screams i kept hearing but i was helpless because i kept on moving to my unknown destination. Then i felt this hot air on my head and a hand on my head and within seconds i felt the air all over my body, it was so different from what am used to so i started crying, i was handed over to you and i opened my eyes and i saw you and the last of your tears that made it through pain and it was love at first sight. You screamed "somtochukwu" "join me and praise God" and the doctor was like "i guess we wont be needing the theatre again".

This love had continued to grow till date... All i have tried doing is to let you know i understand and I love you so much. HAPPY MOTHERS DAY MUM
