And then there were THREE

And then there were THREE!

And so this was the final pic i took on the day that i was supposedly due.
The night of 14 Nov 08, Fri. After my check up. And my baby still wants the comfort of me tummy.
And so the next day, we decided to go for jalan2. Doc say i just have to continue to walk more and let it come naturally.
What an eventful day that Sat became.
We reached Raffles city around 3 and i was so so hungry. Had a quick bite at the Basement, where we then proceeded to walk around to look at baby's clothing then we decided to take a slow walk down City Link towards Suntec.
5pm.
As soon as the escalator ascended us in front of Suntec, i felt a sudden gush "downthere". Thinking tht its only normal discharge, we brushed it off. Few minutes later, the gush came again. Called my fwen and she told me to call the hospital, afraid tht it might be a leakage.
hehehehe
But no.
This hubs n wife duo decided to stop by Watsons to get her pantyliners and wet tissues and go for a change.
...........
Then the contractions came.
But this heroic duo still wanna go walk walk, looking for new handphones some more.
7pm.
I needed to sit down badly cos the contractions came more regularly then usual. We then decided to call the hospital. and the nurse said,
".........and if your contractions is every 10mins, u are definitely in labour and should down to the hospital asap......"
And only then we decided to time my contractions. And without a doubt, it has been coming +/- 10 mins.
Then we went to Toys R' US. Stubborn right?
Till i cant take it anymore. So we tot, lets just go.
Lucky his parents were quite nearby so they picked us up and send us to KK.
Only to find out.....
That i was 3cm dilated and already in LABOUR!
I digress...
Here comes Muhamad Hairi Bin Muhamad Fazli

So i continue.....

It was 8ish that i was pushed to the labour ward, with hubby on tow.
The gas mask was my best fren whilst my contractions were still bearable.


We still can smile and take pics and watch movies on HBO.

Until it became unbearable.

The pain, only God knows. Some women have it easy, but mine surely wasnt. Maybe God wanted me to feel the pain for the sins i have done in the past.
And pain was what i felt throughout.
I am blessed tho with a great husband who stood by me through thick or thin and not only did he watch the whole drama, he helped me to deliver. I wasnt fully dilated but the urge to push was too much. Hubby was the one who tried to keep me calm while i screamed and cried. And when it is time for me to push, he was there holding my head, my hand and giving me words of encouragement.
I shall save the gory details of the whole procedure, so mum-to-Be's wont feel scared towards child bearing.

And finally.......he came.


Thats my PufferFish!
Me and hubby cried when this slimy boy came out of me and was put on my chest. Imagine the relief i felt and the tiredness of it all. But seeing him, and seeing my hubby beside me, it's all worth it.

Our angel....Hubs mom calls him John Doe cos we still do not have a name for him till Thurs, 20th Nov.

And here are some looks of him at our first week as the new, Mom & Dad!

Grumpy!


Shiokness!


Mentel


And yes thats mummy with a bad hair do and the greenish slug on her forehead, which will be donned for the next 44 days. Who cares that i look tht bad? I have a baby and my husband loves me more!




And there u go. The two heroes and the loves of my life...
My Husband and My Son
Parenthood is gonna be a challenge but who says beautiful things come easy?......
I smile and say bye for now as my its now quality time with hubby while the child is sleeping....
Shhhhhhh.....

When Patience is Virtue

When Patience is Virtue

We are at our 39th week mark now. Baby is in position and Doc says it could be anytime or not time yet. All depends on our baby.

So today was my so-called 2nd last follow up. Seems like baby is not ready to pop. Doc says we have to wait. Next Wed is my so-called last check up n im supposedly due on Fri the 14th. "What happens if its not ready yet?" and doc says..." we still wait unless u wanna induce which i dont think so"....

And i realise maybe, just maybe, our baby wants us to settle our woes cos today....we were dumped with bad news one after another...

First.

HDB released their ballot numbers today. Our number is so BIG. We don't have even an appointment date. We are again, unsuccessful. To be a singaporean but yet have to fight with others for a home. Ridiculous.

Second.

Our landlady called. We might have to move out sooner than expected. In fact, she asked if we can move out within the next week or so. Next week?? But im about to deliver!!!

And thus again, i think baby can feel our sadness and depression. Im trying not to think abt it much cos i don wanna affect baby's "performance". I want him to be ready for the world. Although there is much for Mummy and Daddy to do now.

But what do we do now.........

Sabar itu memang separuh dari iman......sigghhh.....
