MEETING MOM AND DAD
The nurse said I had visitors. Cool! I didn’t know we babies could receive guests at the nursery. As far as I know, when someone wants to see us, they’d just have to take a peek from the gigantic glass window in our room.
“Is that him?”
“Enzo, hi Enzo!”
I know those voices!
“Hi there, anak,” said the female voice.
I couldn’t be mistaken. It’s the voice I heard every single day for 37 weeks… Mommy!
“Hello, Enzo,” cooed an excited male voice. That’s my Daddy!
Hello, Mommy and Daddy! I’m so glad to see you at last.
My mom and dad make a beautiful couple. Now I know where I get my good looks (Mommy’s doctor said I’m one of the most beautiful babies she’s ever seen).
I stared intently at my parents, enjoying every second of their visit. They said they can’t stay long. They just came to breastfeed me.
For the first few minutes of our first face-to-face meeting, mom and dad ooohhed and aaahhed, marveling at every feature of my face and body. I even heard my mom say: “Oh, my God! I can’t believe he’s really here, our baby!”
I’m really here, Mommy. Don’t worry, I’m as healthy as can be ‘cause you took good care of me in your tummy.
I wonder what breastfeeding is like. I’ve never done it before, and I know Mommy hasn’t either. I wonder how we’ll fare…
Well, not badly, if I may say so. Mommy fumbled a little as we began our 
session. She seemed so apprehensive to hold me. She said she was scared she might drop me. A few minutes into our session, Mommy was not scared anymore. She knew how to hold me—and I liked it. Oh, it felt great to be cuddled! I felt safe and warm in Mommy’s arms.
Then, it was Daddy’s turn to cuddle me. No breastfeeding with him though! 
Hehehe. Ooooh. His hands are B-I-I-I-I-I-I-G. He had no problems holding me at all because my whole body fit right into his hands! Ah, I love being in Daddy’s arms. It’s like being wrapped in a cozy blanket.
All too soon, the visit came to and end. The nurse fetched me and put me back into my bassinet. Mommy and Daddy waved their good-byes and blew me kisses from the Newborn ICU door.
“Bye, Enzo. See you tomorrow!”
Bye-bye, Mommy and Daddy! I love you!
