So I was born on a Sunday, March 17th, 2013. With 35 weeks of pregnancy, just when my Mom started to get hopes of having me at full term, I became restless and decided this was the day; Mom and Dad drove with my brother Dante from home in Valparaiso to the next coastal town Viña del Mar, to Clinica Ciudad del Mar, where Mom’s gynecologist attends.

No holding back, and at 23:00h the same day I am born. The next morning I am taken of respiratory assistance, and at 21:00h I am transferred by ambulance to public Hospital van Buren in Valparaíso, around the corner from home. Only Moms and Dads are allowed in the Neonal unit, so when after a week I am released from hospital, Monday March 25th, I really look forward to meeting my brother Dante and other family members and friends.

How exciting to meet my big brother, it looks like he is somewhat uncertain about this new situation; my Neonatologist recommended me to buy my brother Dante a present, to become friends and partners, what a grand idea! So I got him a fire station with a ramp, 2 cars and a door, his favorite items: doors and wheels. Upon arrival, although he wanted to touch me and seemed a bit invaded in his territory, he liked the gift, and with a few days I guess we will become hermanos amigos.
