Baby Joelle is finally here!!!!!

I’m back!!!!! Just wanna share my happy moments here! ^^ I have delivered!!!!!

Birth story:
I need to admit into Mount Alvernia Hospital at 5am for my operation which is scheduled at 7am. I left the house in the wee hours at 4am, anxiously looking forward to meeting my little girl. My Little boy was super reluctant and refused to let me go to the hospital and had wanted to tag along with us. (Imagine he forced himself to wake up at 3am so that he can go with us!!!!) I had to explain and console him for close to half an hour before he finally let me leave, actually I feel kinda sad to leave him at home when he had so much wanted to see his little sister at the first moment.

This is me in my hospital gown getting ready for my Cesarean operation, I was feeling nervous and excited at the same time.


I was wheeled into the Operating Theatre at around 6.45am and the operation started at 7am and little girl was out at 7.23am. I was not able to witness the first instant she was out as I was still knocked out from the GA. I remember I only regained conscious at 9plus am. I was eager to see little girl but she is still in in the Nursery warming up to regulate her temperature.

Baby was pushed to my ward at around 11am, I really fell in love with this little cutie the instant I laid eyes on her. She is so sweet!!!!

Update on my Pregnancy at 38 weeks

^^.. I am still here. But I am eagerly counting down to the day that I would be meeting my little one which is 3 more days on the 21st October. Frankly, I really doesn’t feel that good nowadays. I feel like a big fat hippo with my huge tummy and swollen feet and ankles. But I am glad that little one is progressing well, and weighing about 3.2kg during my 37 weeks checkup. Of course it seems that I am doing well too for able to gain a whopping 16kg up to date. (laughing)
 
Sleep hasn’t been good lately too, I only managed to fall asleep around 1am every night and will wake up automatically at 5am every morning (ma-chiam like alarm clock)!!!!! So you can well imagine me looking like a big hippo cum panda!!!! With the extra weight, dark eyes circle and waddling like a penguin when I walk, I really dread going out meeting others now.

Though I am excited that the Big day is finally here soon but at the same time I am feeling nervous. ( Imagine being cut open the 3rd time. Oops, its really scary just thinking about it.) Thus I have opted for C-sect with GA instead of Epidural like my previous 2 delivery. (Frankly, it doesn’t feel too good being in a fully alert mode when I can feel that the doctor is operating on me, the cutting (of course I don’t feel the pain), pulling, tugging. What’s even worse was that I was vomiting like crazy once the doctor start the cutting and the vomiting doesn’t stop even when I was push back to my ward)  

I guess I am really having negative thoughts as the date drew nearer, So I am really glad that I have my 2 monk-ies to distract me daily, I guess it do take my mind off these worrying thoughts when I am busy shouting at them or when they were busy driving me up the wall!!!!! ^_^

I guess that’s all for now! Will update after my delivery~
