The day I was born, in my home country in Czech Republic was snow and very cold weather.
My mum went to the toilet in the morning. What a surprise when you are sitting down with your eyes glued together from morning tiredness and the water is going on and on and on...
She yelled: Hey mum, my amniotic fluid burst !!! And that was me. Just second day after Christmas I was trying to dig myself out of the swimming pool.
When the time finally came, my mum was thrilled, because I was a very small baby and when she pushed for the last time, she though, that I did fly from her belly straight out of the window. This is how she described her birth giving.
She was 21 years old and I was her first baby.
I was born exactly at 2:10 pm and just few hours later my dad came to the hospital see my mum. The reason him coming wasnt to welcome me, but drop divorce papers.
Seem like I was unwanted child and total accident.
My parents were together for 2 years. My mum firstly didn't like my dad, but he was giving her so much attention and really tried convince her, that he loves her, that she agreed to be with him. In my country, every young man had to go through 2 years of military training while communism in my home country. They have been seeing each other while this time and after leaving the service they got married. During their 2 years of marriage things wasn't going well. They found out very soon, that their lifestyle is completely different. My mum wanted to have easy and snobbish lifestyle but my dad was very adventurous and didn't like spend money or even make them possibly. He made a smart tool, that helped him to get stuff in the shops much cheaper than it actually were. My mum got annoyed with the lifestyle and my dad was fighting with the society and didn't want to support the system full of corruption.
My mum found out, that she was pregnant. My parents were at the stage of breaking up and that caused a lot of stress, nights full of tears and depression. My mum was morning sick a lot and didn't want to eat sometimes. Once she even fell off a chair when she was cleaning up with me. She was climbing mountains with me in her belly too... No surprise I was a small baby.
My first a few years my parents got divorced after long wait. The society didn't want to let them to divorce because of me. Later on the divorce was successful. It was really hard for my mum and after all the pain she went through, she hated my dad really badly.
Unfortunately, as I was growing up, I got to look more and more like him...
