The Big Day! 4th October 2011 (Tuesday)

This is the day that I’ve been waiting for the past 9 months! And I'm officially a MUM today! The day has been specially selected for the best date and hour for the birth of my precious baby. I contained the excitement throughout the night and woke up early at 7 am in the morning as breakfast need to be eaten before 8 am. I have to keep an empty stomach for at least 8 hours before the scheduled surgery. I arrived at the clinic on the dot at 9 am and waited for the nurse to advise further procedures. I have to go through enema (灌腸) and put on a drip (點滴). At 2.30 pm sharp, I was pushed into the operating theatre for preparations. The anaesthetic shot was almost unbearable but soon, numbness came. Dr Ruan came in at 3 pm and seeing him eased most of my fears. “You will hear your baby’s first cry in 5 min,” he said and I waited eagerly. At 3.10 pm sharp, your beautiful cry filled the entire room and you were born! They brought a tiny and reddish you to me and no words can describe how I feel the very second I set my eyes on you. I know I love you even before I first saw you. And this feeling was affirmed when I tear upon seeing you at the very first moment. Welcome to this very beautiful world, my darling… ♥
