Back In Action

Now that Im on confinement, Ive plenty of time when my gal is sleeping. So Im back to blogging. Hopefully will be on top of it regularly. :D

Hmm where shall I start?

From the time I realised Im pregnant.. Im elated of course, needless to say! Time passes slowly as I await for the delivery of my girl.. Here is some memorable quotes from my gynae- Dr CH Koh:

Me: (in the midst of doing the ultrascan) Is this the baby's heartbeat?

Gynae: Its the 2nd national anthem!

Gynae: (to me) From now onwards, you need to do finger, mouth exercise.

Me: huh? what do you mean?

Gynae: Since it is your hubby that got you into this problem, instruct him to sweep/mop the floor, wash the dishes, do the laundry...

(hubby gave a stone face & tries to smile. haha)

Me: (ultrascan) Isit a boy or girl?

Gynae: Start writing a 'M'

Me: O its a male! A boy?

Gynae: M for M-I-S-S! Its a girl!

Gynae: If baby comes out too early, it will cost you more. Have you heard the idiom 'zao-sen-gui-zi'!

And he got got my hubby to cut the umbilical cord and Shout: I AM A FATHER when baby is delivered!

On a more serious note, (in my viewpoint) a good gynae. Heard many good reviews about him also. Will certainly consider going back to him in future. :p

Moving on... my delivery day- 30 April 2010

Waterbag burst @ 10am ++. Jumped out of bed & stone for a minute or so. haha.. then called my hubby, the clinic and my sister. Had a quick bath and while changing, the water leaked/burst again. Argh. While waiting for my brother to fetch me to hospi, I mopped the bedroom wood flooring! YES, I MOPPED the floor! haha. (cant imagine what will happen to my flooring if I leave it soaked with water for hours!!!) Next, I flooded my bro's new car! :p (Sorry!)

Nurse checked on me & was told I only had 2cm dilation. So gotta wait for contractions. Ask for epidurals cos my back was hurting even thou I dint feel any contractions yet. Felt asleep after the jab and awake 4-5 hours later only to found out Ive dilated 8-9cm! Preparations were soon made for the delivery. 15mins of pushing & Vera was delivered at 2020hrs. NO LABOUR PAINS! Gynae said I had happi-dural & not epidural! haha.

ok feeding time now. update later...
