Flour Baby
The first day that i got my baby I got a shirt and he was dressed up my baby was premature and he so that means that he weighs less that a normal baby. On that day i got baby and a packet and i start to think wow this is gonna be long when the class ended I went on to my others everyone was like freaking out because it was a flour baby but than everyone got used to it and as the days go on Jordan started to get heavy and it was hard because i had other two bags. I just sometimes wanted to but him down but i know that i couldn’t and he had to be carried. As days went on i had games which that meant i had to leave him with a babysitter there was game where i left at 3:30 and i came back at 7 which was hard because then i would have to go back and get the baby so i decided to leave it with my dad. I always had some game or practice after school so i knew that i had to give him to my dad to take care of and he was heavy during the days caring him and not to forget him in the morning because some days i was really tired so sometimes i had my dad remind me or my sister because i was half asleep in the morning because of my day and i get home late because of basketball so it was hard I never really had Jordan that much after school because of basketball only during school. When i got home one day and my cousins came over and they saw my Jordan they were freaking out but then they were like the shirt that it was cute and then yeah. Some of my basketball team mates were asking is it hard carrying it around and i would say yes because your arm gets tried and it starts to hurt.
Then the next time i went to health we were seeing how much we will get and how much we made and i didn’t make that much it was hard because if your baby is premature some of the things were more expensive because they need more proteins in the milk so that was factor on the money i had so i would have to even that out. Sometimes the babysitter wouldnt want to give me my baby back so it was hard because the people would want to take care of it and then if you didnt they would be all mad and it was funny it was like why would you want a flour baby like that is messed up. I things that i learned from the baby is that it hard to take care of a baby that you have everyday in your arms in school and it really hurts so yeah and that you can never turn your back for a second because then something might happen to your baby like mine i turned my back for like a second and then someone drops it and it opens so that hurt when i saw Jordan on the floor i thought if that happen to a premature baby that baby would have been dead. The babies are light and if anything happens it probably gonna hurt the baby or kill it so i had learned my lesson that i should always carry my baby and not let it down or put it anywhere.
When i had got home when my baby had fell my dad ask what happen and i was like ummm he fell and my dad was like omg imgane you have a real baby you wouldnt last and I was i know dad but its a flour baby and my dad was like but still your teacher is trying to teach you guys something and you cant even take care of Jordan over here and then my mom had ask why does he have tape all over his body and i was like just ask dad.
I learned that I wasnt ready for a baby and even for being single that is gonna be much harder so i decided not to have a baby when im in my early 20 so i decided when i have everything in order than i would want to plan out everything so i really liked that you had us with are flour baby just a single parent and now i wonder how it would feel with being with someone.
