hi mummies n mtbs...
i've delivered on 20th Nov... as gender was unknown before, it came as a really big n beautiful surprise to me and hb that we have a princess now to add to our little prince...
my little girl arrived 10 days early, at 3.35kg n 51 cm.... her name is Isabelle...
as i had a really short labour e 1st time round, admitted at 4am, delivered at 8:30am.. everyone expected me to deliver really really quickly tis time round, especially my gynae..
so i had quite a tough time "coping" when tis labour dragged on much longer than expected...
19 Nov
5pm - felt gastric like pain
7+pm - confirm getting contractions, call hb to come back n fetch me to TMC
9+pm - admitted n monitored...
20 Nov
2am - contractions became "on and off".. no pain at times n i even managed to nap
5am - put on drip, told tat it helps dilation n speed up e process
9am - gynae came to break my waterbag cos he said its progressing too slowly
10+am - epidural administered
12noon - felt e urge to push, 9.5cm dilated
12:25pm - gynae arrived, everything was prepared... Isabelle is out with just 1 push... *thankfully*
i was discharged on thursday, but as isabelle had jaundice n had to stay for phototherapy, i stayed an extra day.. by Friday, i went home, but isabelle stayed till today before she is well enough to come home...
my milk came in yesterday.. had rock hard breasts even though i BF her at TMC, n pumped when im home... today start to be abit more "normal" liaoz...

my elder son is 1years old only.. so dont think he's reacting too much too his little sister's arrival...
but when we came home today, he actually "sayang" and "kiss" her in his own way... (n he's very "ngiao" with his kiss 1 tat type of boy hor... kiss daddy/mummy also muz see his "mood" one...) so we were pleasantly surprised...
but other than that, he's quite indifferent to her presence... knows to point to her when asked "where's meimei?"...
okie... gotto go... will pop by n catch up again as soon as i can....
