welcome to the world baby Adrienne Wee Xing Yi!

5/10 to 7/10 couldnt walk much anymore.. my butt hurts very very very badly. tried to walk to Jurong Point on 6/10 but a normal 5 mins walk took me 50 mins.. and my tears were already rolling down my cheeks, no thanks to the pain.. mummy & grandma wanted me to pack and move to mum's place on 8/10 cos they are worried that when fabian is at work, there will be no one to take care of me should anything happen.. I refused and considered the idea of inducing birth.. called Dr. Joycelyn Wong. She agreed that since I can't take the pain anymore, I should consider inducing birth. To turn up at her clinic on 8/10 morning.. NERVOUS... !!

8/10 9am.. doc started induction by inserting tablet. monitored contractions till 10+ and told to go home as no action & no dilation yet.

3pm contractions were 2 mins apart! OUCH!! went back to clinic as advised by doc to be monitored and inserted 2nd tablet. doc checked dilation at only 0.5cm despite regular contractions. advised to wait at antenatal ward instead of delivery ward.

4pm while waiting to be admitted, pain got so intense i told nurse that i wanted to be in delivery ward and be given epi! i can't wait cos i can't even walk..

5pm bathed, given epi and all admin stuff settled.

6pm doc checked cervix and am 3cm dilated. doc guessed delivery shd be on 9/10 2-3am..

8pm pain came back at my back regularly like contractions and my god it was damn painful!!! told nurse to increase dosage of epi. she told me itz already at e max but i can feel every single pain!

8.50pm as pain didnt go away, nurse help to check dilation. was surprised when she told me i can push already!! OMG! i didnt expect it to be so fast and so painful! nurse informed doc abt it and doc is on her way. meanwhile nurse and hubby helped to get me pushing away with every pain that came.

9.20pm doc arrived. told her i didnt want to push anymore. itz too painful! ha! she told me i m one of those rare ones that epi dun work.. grrrr...

9.26pm one last pain.. pushed again and baby is out. PHEW!!! doc put baby on my stomach, touched her and i told them "ok, that's enough.. please take bb away".. i got laughed at cos they didnt expect the reaction.. haiya! it was too painful for me already la.. just wanted to relax.. keke they cleaned baby up and meanwhile doc stitched me up (i didnt even realise she had made the incision..).. finally wanted to hug and cuddle baby after e initial ho-hum.. =P

was pushed back to room only at 10pm+ 11pm cos the nurses changed shifts.. and guess what, all the girls (sam, sarah, shir, daphne, simon & william) are here, after attending wendy's wedding! hahaha! they can't wait to see their little baby or ME??? anyway, these evil ones are only interested in poking my very very swollen "water-retention" legs just to see if water will splurt one! OMG... and only fabian has food to eat! and i m STARVING.. sob sob...

family came to visit on the next day... tink they are already in love with this girl.. =D

discharged on 10/10/07 - mummy's birthday! and yet she had to come to hospital to fetch me just in case fabian & i couldnt handle.. keke.. and i could bathe already!! yippie yippie!!

thanks grandma & mummy for preparing food and water for my baths and everything u have prepared for me during my confinement! really appreciate it! thanks 婆婆 for the "deep-tissue" massages to relieve my legs & tummy of wind and water.. thanks for patiently sitting in front of the stove and preparing my water etc etc.. thanks for the patience and love for me during my stupid mood swings.. i love u all!
