Bridgette Antoinette Thompson

Hi, my name is Bridgette Antoinette Thompson. I was born February 17, 2015 @

about 8:00 p.m. It was a Tuesday. I weighed 7 lbs and 1 oz; and I was 19 inches long.

There were lots of people at the hospital; waiting, smiling, talking, waiting; doing nothing

constructive at all.

My Mommy and I were not smiling. I was working hard trying not to be born, and my

Mommy was working hard trying to make me be born. I really, truly wanted to be born

so I could see my Mommy, but I was scared 'cause there were waaay too many people

waiting to see me.

I felt it was okay for my Mommy to see me naked and without teeth and make-up, but

I just wasn't too happy about all the other people seeing me. I finally gave in and came into

the world, but as you can see, I was not happy. My Mommy was happy, so it was cool.

I now understand that all babies are born that way and clothes are put on them later. I

did not know that. Oh, and I also now know, all babies are born without teeth. Who

would have thought? So, in hindsight, there was no need for me to not want to be born.
