Yes yes yes... "Sally Yen where got time to blog?" That's what I asked myself too. But as I was discussing with Sham, maybe blogging can keep you guys (especially living outside JB and Singapore) posted on Daniel's growth. It's been a week since Daniel was borned and it felt like months already. As most of you know, Daniel was borned a week + past his due date and I am glad the li'l bundle of joy is finally here! Puking on the baby cot, dirtying the brand new diapers and causing my washing machine to work twice a day!
By the time I was in the car, I was yanking at my feet. The contractions was almost unbearable... When I reached the hospital, I actually puked! I could determine all my chocolate ice cream I had earlier on. Hehe! The nurse stripped me and strapped 2 gadgets on my bulging belly (which I really miss right now). I could hear Daniel's heartbeat which was very "healthy". The midwife checked my cervix and I was 5 cm dilated (I was 2.5 cm in the morning). So she said I would give birth pretty soon. I was contented... "I am gonna have a quick labour. Thank You Jesus."

Breathing in between contractions...

Just before they wheeled me into the operating theater
In a split second, they wheeled me into the operating theater and there I saw the anesthetist! I got an epidural this time and I was numb from waist down. I felt like a frog being cut open really. Even though they placed a covering so that I could not see what they were doing, I could still see it from the reflection of the lights above me. If it was too gory, I just shut my eyes. Quite an experience, I must say. And all I was doing was praying to hear a baby's cry ASAP.
My 1st operation... I was awake the WHOLE time
My gynae on the left... now I know why is he so popular, he's skilled during labour

Daniel's head emerging
Sucking the meconium out (check out the colour of the tube...)
A big wail... a sound I was eagerly waiting for
Me planting the 1st kiss

Making sure I bring home MY baby
Then while Dr. Ding was stitching me up, I saw flashes of light. Apparently ZX passed the camera to one of the nurses and she was snapping her heart away like I am some celebrity...
The corny but amazing medic team

Daniel's 1st smile
My prayers was definitely answered... I asked for a QUICK labour.
