I was a freshman at Rhode Island College
It was final exam time
I didn't study for my final exam for an anthropology class
I stayed up all night with my friend Paula
We hung out in the waiting room
We waited and waited until the wee hours of the morning
My parents were there
My sister was there but not in the same room
We harrassed the nurses
We harrassed some more
We didn't get any answers from those ladies
I left the waiting room with my friend Paula
My parents stayed behind
My sister stayed behind but in another room
I went back to college and took the exam I did not study for
My friend Paula took a nap
I went back to my dorm room after the exam
I had a message on my answering machine
My First Nephew had made his grand appearance
He was born at 750am
He was born ON his due date
He was NOT induced
He was born without an epidural
He weighed 7lbs 4oz
He was perfect
He was born even before I left to go back to college to take my exam
The nurses told me my sister wasnt even close to getting to pushing
He had been born at that point
My parents kept sitting in the waiting room that whole time
He had fair skin and white hair
He is now an active 12 year old boy
He is in the 6th grade
He is the oldest of 6 grandchildren for my parents
He likes basketball
He likes Video Games
He finally got a boy cousin when CJ was born in November
He is small compared to his peers
He is my nephew... and We all love and adore him....
( I did not finish typing this until after midnite. He was born on May 9, 1996 and it seems like it was yesterday)
