Three years ago, baby Reyanne arrived... till this day, I could still remember every detail (though my memory of other things seemed to fail me...) I think I want to jot down what happened exactly... on the day, my little princess came to the world :)
That was 2 days after school closed, a SUNDAY...my 1st Sunday in June 2006. My gynae Dr WK Tan said my due date is 060606, 6 June 2006. I thought it was a wonderful date... but then little Reyanne couldn't wait till 060606, she decided to come out on 28052006. :)
That morning, I jumped up from bed at 9am because my water bag started to leak...as it was my first experience, I didn't know, at first I thought it's... shhh shhh.. haha. then I realised, it's different...I couldn't control it at all...
We had planned to go all the way to the West to get some accessories for her, but this unforseen circumstances made us change our plans. We were halfway to our destination when we decided to head for Thomson Medical Centre. We reached there at about 11am, did the registration and they pushed me in to what's-that-called? 'waiting ward' or whatever...
Had my sandwich there...and happily waited. Roy sent mum back (as she was with us in the car) then he made his way back to the hospital. This Papa-to-be happily set up his laptop and did his work while poor Mummy-to-be lied on the bed in pain, as contraction began at 1plus in the afternoon.
After sometime, I thought I had already reached the limit, couldn't tolerate the pain anymore, then I requested for the Epidural. But, it seemed to take forever for that guy to reach the ward to do the injection. When he reached the ward, he still chatted with the nurse on duty and time seemed to move by sooooo slowly... I was in so much pain that I was actually scolding him for taking his own sweet time. And, guess what, the epidural didn't take effect on my whole body. Half of my body was numb, but the other half could still feel the pain. The nurse said,'maybe it didn't 'flow' properly.'...whatever excuse or reason given, I couldn't help thinking why I was unlucky !
Anyway, I waited till 5pm when Dr Tan came in to check on me. She said "ok, ready to deliver!"
Initially, I thought I had to push for a long long time, then bit by bit the baby would come out... but it wasn't that way! Dr Tan asked me to get ready and followed her cue to PUSH... ok... I think I was a pretty good student, baby Reyanne came out at the third push ! Reyanne came out at 5.26pm that day.

After my gynae 'finished' the rest of her 'work', I was already busy sms-ing people at 5.45pm :)
Haha... hard to believe someone who just delivered could look so energetic... (how lucky am I)
ok..that's my 'recollection' of Reyanne's arrival... and now she is already 3 years old!! Oh my goodness...how time flies... :)
