Here was the dinner spread which started my contractions! :)
Our last pix as parents of one - love how unpreggy I look here..hehehe
1030pm - we left the party as I knew Marie was up waiting for us to come back. However, walking to the car, I started having a crampy kind of feeling..on the drive back, the feeling came on and off - 5 minutes apart.
1050pm - Reaching home, I took out our trusty "what to expect when expecting" book to read if I was indeed having a contraction and the book said so! I came out to tell jin to change out of his PJs and we woke Marie back up to watch Bean and left for Mt A hospital
1130pm - The staff greeted us warmly and as the nurse was leading me to the labour ward, I informed her that I wanted Dr Dicky for administering my epi. She was kind enough to drop everything to call him as it was late and he was not a resident doc at Mt A.
1140pm - we got settled into the labour ward and i was given an edema to let go my stools.
1230am - Dr Dicky appeared and got to work and bless him, I felt no more pain :)...pretty happy all the way even when the nurses did the VE. Poke me all you want, i feel nothing..hahaha.
5am - the nurse came in and said that I was ready to deliver- she got me to push about 10 times and once she could see the baby's crown, she told me to stop and the waiting game for Dr Fong began.
5.55am - The good doc arrived just slightly before 6am and 3 pushes later...
6.08am - our 2nd daughter joined our family. She arrived wailing loudly into the world - all blue and pale one second and a few seconds later, all pink and red.
Mini bean has arrived!
Happy mummy with precious angel
Daddy's happy too cos this baby has more of his features :)
