Welcome BB!

Er, the baby has a mind of his own and decided to arrive on 4 Aug instead! After dinner with my family, I felt contractions that were getting more regular but they were still sparse... around mid-night, I told G that it was impossible for me to sleep and we made the call for us to head for the hospital, false alarm or not...

It turned out to be a good call since I was 3 cm dilated by around 1 am... the rest of the night proved to be a long one while we waited for my cervix to be dilated.... epidural made the whole process bearable since I slept through most of the 14 hours of waiting...

By 3.30 pm, Dr A decided that it was time to push! Alas, the pushing was in vain since baby was too big to come through... emergency C-section had to take place and I was anxious for the safe arrival of baby... G could not be with us in the operating theatre and that greatly reduced my comfort level then...

In the end, I was under GA during the C-section so neither of us managed to welcome our baby at 1615 hours! What a disappointment... While waiting at the recovery ward, my mind was still groggy but I remembered asking repeatedly for my baby and was reassured that he has been sent to our room. I later found out from G that he saw baby outside the operating theatre and he already had his eyes opened :)

I finally got to see my baby at 1845 hours and fell in love with him immediately :P
