WELCOME TO BIRTH & INFANCY

You are in a warm, dark, comfortable place. This has been your place since you became aware that you are alive. It's almost time to enter a different world now.

COME OUT FIGHTING
Stay a while

O.K. You certainly can't be blamed for wanting to stay someplace safe and warm. Besides, you are learning early the social merits of being "fashionably late."

TEN MORE MINUTES MOM

Yes, I can certainly understand how troublesome it can seem to be evicted unexpectedly. You have every right to feel angry. You were getting a little too big to be carried around in your mom's belly -- those backaches were really starting to get on her nerves.
Besides, your dad had to suffer through a lot for the past couple of months and wasn't exactly Mr. Sunshine either. Get ready to be born in a flurry of waving arms, screams and a slap on the bottom.
Happy Birthday, and welcome to the world. From now on, life will begin to change rapidly. You will have to learn to accept responsibility, build up your resources, and manage yourself physically and emotionally.
The events that transpire over the course of the next few days include:
You are the most beautiful baby in the maternity ward and everyone takes your picture. You develop an allergy to milk and have to be given special formula. The doctors note that your breathing is a bit irregular and suggest special monitoring equipment to avoid serious problems.
You are in infancy.
There are seven stages of life in Alter Ego. You play from birth until death, whenever that may be. Your game is saved automatically.
You may select icons in any order. They are sorted chronologically.

It's a dog's life, isn't it? Nothing to do all day except eat, sleep and wonder what life will be like when you're older. (Does life really change after 2?) Mom is coming closer.
