O MY GOSH!! I have a new little sister. We haven't decided on a name yet but we like Zipporah! I am really excited because the baby is sssssssssssssssssssooooooooooooooooooooooooooo cute! She weighs 3.4kg which is 7.5 pounds. She is absolutely tiny and soft. But if you really want to know what happened the day my mum gave birth here is what happened:
"Please come today, please come today" I said hoping and praying the baby would come that night. That night my father had just arrived from Wellington so I went to bed a little bit late. The next 7 hours later I hear my dad going "Atarah wake up, mum's going to have the baby"
'Maybe my dad is just trying to get me up" I though to myself. But fortunately I opened my eyes and it was still dark and I checked my watch. It was 5:00am. Wait I'm not a light sleeper and I hate getting up. Maybe these past few weeks I've been on alert for the baby but anyway mum can't wait that long. My dad would definitely not joke about this. He was even carrying my little sister because she wasn't waking up. So I jumped out of bed as quick as a flash and honestly got dressed in 1 minute.
'Well I was close enough. I wanted the baby to come last night but the baby's coming this morning' I thought as I put on some socks. I took my school uniform and my school bag with me because I really wanted to go to school after the baby was born. I hopped into the car and as we were pulling in to the carpark at the hospital I had just realised something. You may think I am dumb for doing this, but I will have you know that I am 10 and I read at 16+. The thing that I realised was that... I had remembered my school bag and school uniform but had forgotten to bring something so simple that I felt so silly...SHOES!!Yes I had forgotten shoes but my mum needed to get to hospital so that could wait. I walked into the hospital with my purple and pink striped socks with a hole in it (my trademark) and set in the waiting area. My dad stayed with us and texted some people while we were waiting for my grandma to come and stay with us in the waiting room. When she came we played memory game and ludo because I had to carry some board games. My grand was there at 15 to 6 and we got there sometime between 5- 10 past 5 (or sooner). My dad and grandma had turns to go in with mum but it was dad's turn to go in when the baby came. All we heard was
"AAAAH OOOF' (my mum)
"Waaa waaa naaa gaaa" (the baby)
When I heard the crying I started to run up and down the hallway. When my dad brought the baby out I was beyond,beyond ecstatic.
My little sister born on the 8th of November sometime after 6am. I'll Love my little sister forever and ever and I will look after her like she was the most precious thing in the world. That is how much a Sister loves her sisters (except when they get annoying!...Not exactly!)
