I had always wondered what being a baby felt like even though I've experienced it before but don't remember. Now that I am a baby and will remember it, due to me being 17 years old mentally, I'm internally cursing whoever put me here. I never anticipated the pain I would feel when I had to start teething.

My baby body being about three months old I have started teething and it hurts like a bitch. The gum pain and the constant need of relief in the form of chewing on everything. I feel bad making my parents go through all the crying I've done but can you blame me my gums are on fire.

Right now I'm in the living room with my parents currently watching Peter Pan at 1 in the morning. We've already watched The Aristocats, Bambi, and Pinocchio. I find comfort in being held by my parents and watching Disney movies. I can't sleep because my gums hurt and for the last four hours I've been chewing on my freezer teething toy.

"Baby are you even the slightest bit tired yet?" Mum has already asked me but I can't. Maybe she can sing my song and that'll help.

I look at dad and realize he's fallin asleep so it's just me and mum. I turn back towards her and hold my arms out and say, "sing song." I see relief fill her eyes because I've finally decided to try to go to sleep. She stands with me in her arms and begins to sing the familiar tune of You Are My Sunshine while rocking me.

You Are My Sunshine has always been my favorite lullaby and I loved when mum sang it to me. In this life as well as in my last I had always fell asleep quickly when I heard it. My grandma used to sing it to me when I had nightmares or was sick. It always made me feel better and I'm glad mum sings it to me now too.

As she continues to sing she makes her way into the nursery and turns on my nightlight. It's so cool it shines on the ceiling to project the constellations and stars. Sirius got it for me after realizing my fascination for the stars.

After finishing first half of the song my eyes start to droop so she puts me in the crib. She then kisses my forehead and just gazed at me for a few seconds and voices, "goodnight my beautiful baby girl."

She then exits the room and I'm left to my lonesome. I gaze at my ceiling and after just a few minutes I'm out like a light.
