born

i was born on the 28th of april 1972 in perth, western australia four weeks premature via caesarian & i weighed four pounds, one ounce. four weeks uncooked was a big deal back then, not now though when they can look after babies that have hardly got past the pre-heating stage.

there's not many pictues of me as a newborn but i've been told that that i was a very ugly baby. maybe that's why there aren't many pictures of me .. my dad used to say to me "corri, for someone who started out life as a toad, you didn't turn out too badly." i take that as a compliment.

mum had problems when giving birth for both her pregnancies but the nature of the sickness meant that each successive pregnancy got worse so when it came time to bring me into the world she was pretty darn sick. the doctor actually asked dad who he would like him to try to save, me or mum. turns out i was as healthy as a horse (a very small horse) so they didn't have to worry about me anyway.

since she was so sick, mum was doped out for the week or two after i was born & i stayed in the nursery for most of the time. mum had somehow got it into her head that i was a boy so every time the nurses came into her room she'd ask "how is he?" they'd reply "she's fine, she's a girl" & mum would say "that's good, i'm so glad he's okay."
