My little boy is back home! Yipppeee!! Now I’ve got mood to share his “chop chop” birth story.
21st Nov 2007 was my scheduled gynae visit. Dr already warned me that if he thinks I am ready that day, he’ll send me in for delivery. I am suppose to be mentally prepared, I thought I was.. but when he really told me :” ok you can deliver today” I was like :” huh???” I tried negotiating for another 2 more days, hoping that Kenji’s birth date can coincide with the dad, but Dr said no… due to my 4cm dilation….. Doctor gave me till 2pm to admit myself into hospital.
The next thing I knew, me and Kiat were on my way to Kuishin-Bo for my last round of Jap buffet before my confinement and also as a form of celebration for Kiat’s birthday.
My “last” buffet lunch for the next 1 month
After lunch, I rushed home to clear my last bit of work through email and before I’m done, my Doctor was already on the phone nagging me not to delay my admission… sigh…..
That’s me right before I leave for hospital.
I reached hosp about 3+p.m. Went through the routine of admission, filling up forms, answersing questions, changing into robe, going through enema and of course we didn’t forget to ask of epidural! This time we are smarter, since we are going to pay for epidural, why go through any pain at all?! right? So we requested for the epidural to be administered before being put on the drip.
Right before administering epidural
Awaiting for the Anesthetist to come
Anesthetist came at about 4p.m. My drip started at about 4.30p.m and by 6.30p.m Kenji arrived. Fast right? Ha!
These are Kenji’s first pics. I know they are gross but these are very precious pics. hehehe
My little bundle. Doesn’t he look like the famous russian doll?
I am quite fortunate, both my boys came after only about 2 hours of labour. Will share with all more pictures of the 2 boys soon.
