He suggested that I would admit to the hospital the very night and will be induced by the next morning. I was a little shocked as I have program planned for that night and the next as it's Matthew's 6th b'day! I was caught off hand as I don't know whether to go ahead or not but the gynae said, it's better not to delay anymore, so I guess I had to heed his advise.
Decided to go ahead with the gynae's suggestion, I give DH a call and he was supposed to be doing his last day audit (presentation) the next day. Thank God, it still went on well.
The sad side is that we couldn't celebrate Matthew's birthday with him. I had planned a little birthday celebration for him in school. He had chosen a cake himself and prepared some goodies bag for his friends. I think he had fun even without us. He is pretty excited about little sister's arrivals too.
Before getting ready for hospital, we went ahead with the dinner plan for that night. We met up with friends we haven't seen for years. They were back for vacation from Australia and it was good to see them and we have a good meal before getting ready for "action".
The whole process went on well. I was admitted to labour ward at about 11pm and getting all the preparation ready, I managed to sleep a little before they induced me at 4am. By then, I was about 5cm dilated. The gynae came to break the water bag at 8.15am and told me it won't be long. Before I know it, I was fully dilated by around 9.40am. The gynae came and with the midwives' help, I started to push and with just 2 pushes, she is out!
I was pretty shocked by how fast she came and how petite she is! She is very small as compare to Matthew. She is like a tiny kitten, weighs only 2.715kg/ 5lbs 15oz. Matthew was 3.75kg/8.14lbs. But she is a great gift from God, a little angel, a blessing to our family.
