Ezanne's new toy.. Mummy's fav biscuit yan yan.. Hmm. Actually i dun crave for it anymore nw.. So much changes to my usual likes..
Xuan can appreciate her toys better nw.. E ferris wheel tat i got wks ago finally make ezanne so excited!
She's busy all day playing n learning!
I'm a half retired moo moo nw.. Ezanne will b 8mths. Wow! Hw many bottles of milk she drank!
Was sharing with fren tat i still rem every bit on e day of labour.. No worries.. Not a single scary scene..
I shld say i'm pretty excited thru out.. Oni moment of fear is when e nurse tell me ezanne nt moving enuf n ask me to start using oxygen mask. I was like so worried anything will happen to tis little one..
Everything else is cool.. Haha.. I'm blessed i shld say. N i'm so thankful..
Till e last moment of waiting, i hve j by my side.. When e waterbag breaks, we still go dwn to tabao fried rice.. Had dinner, took shower then to e hospital.. Park opposite e hosp coz it's cheaper n cross e overhead bridge.. I persuaded j tat i nid to exercise..
Then he call his mum as i called mine earlier on.. At e observation rm, e nurse asked qn to ensure no false alarm n by then i'm very sure something is happeming bt e nurse din assure me tat i'm ready.. She's aso quite unfriendly probably coz doing shift wk on holiday..
J then came bk frm e admission counter n accompanied me to e labour rm.. They track for contraction which i hve no sign at all though dilated 3cm over e past wk..
My gynae arrived juz sn after in her tennis outfit at 8pm.. She examined n suggest induction which mean more pain..
Waited patiently for e big bang... Started slow n mild.. Then it came stronger n more freq.. It's juz like taking roller coaster! Nt juz e pain bt gotta hang on till it's gone for awhile n dwn e slope again!
All e breathing lesson came to use bt to no avail.. J n dr ask if i want epidural frm e start bt nt knwing if i can do it like our mums, i dun give up yet. E plan war e laughing gas then epi.. But hvg experience e pain, i knw i can juz live with 20% help.. So immediately asked for epi.. E dr can in 10 mins n ask me to lie sideway n gave me painkiller first.. Then e tube at my spine for e epi. So my pain ceased frm there bt i do feel wat i reckon is contraction..
Within an hr, i tried to rest bt m juz shivering with cold. Nurse says sm pple will hve tis effect..
Then i m fully dilated sn.. NuRses were surprise tat it's so fast bt coz i'm fully relaxed, it sped up things..
My gynae returned ard 1.30am.. I juz started pushing a bit.. Then e finale.. All of them ask me to push n i gauge n tell e gynae when i feel contraction.. Teamwk n j n my cheerleader!
E nurses describe it as 'da bian'. Well, tat help to focus on where to push..
Finally ezanne head out a little.. E gynae told me wat i nid to knw.. N ezanne's out! Before she put e heavy lump on me, she caution tat she will b dirty with blood.. Hee nt too bad lah.. Littlest ezanne grin at me.! J was prob overwhelmed too..
He followed e bb to b cleaned n weight.. Then e gynae sew me up.. I din knw she sniped.. Hee.
We took photos n i'm pushed to e ward while they warm ezanne up.. J left after awhile leaving tat vivid look of blessed n touched..
Gd nite darling.. Its been a long journey for us, especially u. ....... he left me sweet words and I struggle to fall asleep.. Can't wait till early morning to share the news!
