Learning about his Arrival as Our First Baby

As expectant parents eagerly await the arrival of their baby boy, the emotions and excitement were overwhelming. The journey towards parenthood is a special time that is filled with joy, anticipation, and love.

The design of our website reflects therefore the serene and calming essence of the Old Asia minor, with a light blue color scheme and touches of white reminiscent of the Mediterranean. This aesthetic choice is to evoke feelings of serenity and peace as we all navigate through this transformative period in our life.

With letters to each other, we shared the importance of cherishing and celebrating these precious moments before we even started to think about preparing how to welcome our little one into the world.

With a dedication to capturing the beauty of this journey, Our First Baby provides a platform for sharing your experiences with family and friends. Through heartwarming blogs and captivating pictures, we aim to create a space where we can document every milestone and memory leading up to our baby boy's arrival.

This includes both aspects of his arrival - the quantitative as well as the qualitative parts, like the hospital room in which he will be welcomed first.

Remembering Jung and Einstein, we embarked on a journey to validate their life long learnings about the ongoing paralells of the seemingly contrasting parts but in fact unifying elements of our existence.

Carl Jung's 1953 Letter where he explains his meeting with Albert Einstein

25 February 1953

To Carl Seelig

Dear Dr. Seelig,

I got to know Albert Einstein through one of his pupils, a Dr. Hopf if I remember correctly.

Professor Einstein was my guest on several occasions at dinner, when, as you have heard, Adolf Keller was present on one of them and on others Professor Eugen Bleuler, a psychiatrist and my former chief. These were very early days when Einstein was developing his first theory of relativity.

He tried to instill into us the elements of it, more or less successfully. As non-mathematicians we psychiatrists had difficulty in following his argument. Even so, I understood enough to form a powerful impression of him.

It was above all the simplicity and directness of his genius as a thinker that impressed me mightily and exerted a lasting influence on my own intellectual work. It was Einstein who first started me off thinking about a possible relativity of time as well as space, and their psychic conditionality.

More than thirty years later this stimulus led to my relation with the physicist Professor W. Pauli and to my thesis of psychic synchronicity.

With Einstein's departure from Zurich my relation with him ceased, and I hardly think he has any recollection of me. One can scarcely imagine a greater contrast than that between the mathematical and the psychological mentality. The one is extremely quantitative and the other just as extremely qualitative.~physics in history

With kind regards,

Yours sincerely,

C.G. Jung

As we navigate the highs and lows of pregnancy, the LOVE of Our First Baby was always here to support and guide us every step of the way. So, we decided to dedicate a poem for him inspired from Jung's letter above:

Han Bebek,

Emek demek

Ve bilmek

Kendini.

Hatırla: kalpler doğuda

Üzerinde çalışacağın,

Bulacağın da batıda

Kalplerdir yine unutma!

Enginsin bırakma

Hiçbir işi Tanrı’ya

Han Bebek

Emek demek

Bilmek

Ve sevmek

Tüm Evren’i.
