for my 3rd child is finally born! It was on the 3rd of February 2010 about 5am when I started to have contraction and labour pain. I got up from the bed for I couldn't bare the pain anymore. I find it out that standing and walking around the house are ways to ease the pain. It works for couple of hours and when the pain get more intense and uncontrollable I couldn't think of anything else but pain reliever/drugs. I couldn't wait to be in the hospital and push it out.
It was about quarter to 8am when my husband and daughter finally woke up. It's her breakfast time before she goes to school. I stopped my ironing and sat down in my PC chair but pain get even worst. It took hubby a minute to realised that I was in labour already. Gosh, he was a slow burner, really. He was tense yet happy and anxious. He rang up his Mother to arrange for a baby sitter. Luckily, Tito (a friend) dropped by and was so kind to asked if its okay for Kath to come with them. It was just a perfect timing and off they went.
Half an hour later my Mother in-law arrived to pick up our 4 yrs old son. Then, half an hour later, we to drive to the hospital because I couldn't take the pain any longer. Its about 9:45am when we arrived and we are told to wait in the Lounge while waiting for few bits and pieces of paper works and at the same time find us an empty Delivery suite. But unfortunately we have to wait a little bit longer and while waiting they put us in our temporary room. However, it was sooner that we thought that the baby will come out. I suddenly have this urged to push and it didn't even take more pushing when the Midwife's finally saw the head coming out. She send the message out that the baby will be out soon and just not bother for Delivery suite anymore. An it was just a push away when the baby finally came out and cried........
whoaaaaaaaaaaaa -
a real sweet innocent voice is all I can hear! I look and stare at hubby and saw a tearful Daddy once again and for sure it was a tear of joy to finally met his another son.
A beautiful moment that is priceless! So...it wasn't that bad after all. He wasn't that big as everyone thought he would be- only an ounce to 8lbs. Basically, similar size to my 2nd child. But for a small build woman like me he was quite a size! Thanks God for we're both in good hands, safe and sound. Then, we decided not to stay for a night because I was excited to see my 2 kids faces when they finally see their younger brother that they been excitedly waiting for. So, we were discharged with the Midwive's permission 4 hours after delivery. It was that quick, really! Thanks be to God! Here's just few of his first snapshots..........
