    How would you like it if l came and evicted you by pulling you through the letter box??

    Hearing a scream from the playroom, the mother rushed in and found her infant son pulling the hair of his four-year-old sister. After separating them, the mother said to her daughter, "Don't be upset with your brother, honey. He didn't know he was hurting you." No sooner had the mother returned to he chores than she heard more screaming. This time she rushed in and found the baby crying. "Now what happened?" she asked. "Nothing," said the girl, "except that now he knows."

    I liked that song :-)

    Although the pulmonary vessels are fully developed in the fetus, only a tiny amount ... The color (lips and tongue) of a healthy newborn at birth is a pinkish purple; the ... After crying starts, there is one contraction that injects nearly 100mls of blood .... watching many newborns close their own cords, and watching other babies ...

    Because some doctor, whom the baby has never even met, just comes along and gives him/her a slap. Welcome to the world, kid. Life ain't easy!

    Cause the doctor slapped em..

    Yep, all that, and there's also been a rather stressful journey through the birth canal, and now all this bright light, and, damn, it's COLD. 

    What do you think being cramped up for nine months, you would bellow too.

    to inflate their lungs; and to give their lungs a workout, b/c he had never breathed for himself before. You might say that in utero, he was on a respirator ( the umbilical cord ) that did everything for him

    It is making the transition from receiving it's oxygen via the umbilical cord  to using it's lungs for the first time....this requires the stretching of unused muscles and expanding the lungs for the first time...much like putting weight on a broken leg which has been immobilized for a lengthy period while healing...
