My brother had been heads over heels with my friend Pauline since he first laid eyes on her. Pauline played hard to get but finally fell for him also. They were high school sweethearts and got married right after college. They had one year of being married when they ere expecting a baby! Right after the two weeks of the zygote stage, the first stage of prenatal development, and my brother died while driving home excited by the news.
Pauline was as devasted as I was and not strong enough to deal with my mom’s explosive temperament, who offered to help, so we decided both of us were going to take care of the baby.
The embryo stage lasted about 6 weeks and finally by the ninth week we could finally see the fetus! We were all very worried of any teratogen, harmful agents to the prenatal environment that the baby could have. Especially because of Pauline’s severe alcoholism due to the loss of the love of her life. We were truly lucky that the baby was born completely healthy and didn’t even suffer fetal alcohol syndrome. Thank goodness the baby was just perfect; he was 6 pounds and 20 inches!
Answer to question #1
The baby nursery took a lot of time and was a heck lot of job, but it was all worth it. It is painted with different tones of blue, green and yellow, lots of paintings and photographs of the family and complex, musical crib mobiles. All of this to help him develop strong and healthy.
