Our precious little baby is here, finally! The contractions started slowly on Thursday noon, Feb 12th, intensified on Feb 14th morning but slowed down (tricking us to think she might come on Valentine's day) and she was born on Feb 15th, 1234am!
She weighs a whopping 3.295kg and this is a miracle to us considering we were worried earlier that we might have to induce the birth at 34 weeks as baby's tummy did not seem to be growing.
It was a helpless and emotionally painful experience to see Serene go though the labour pains and all I could do was to encourage her, pray for her and hold her. Despite this, the pain did not seem to subside. I think she is a very brave lady, determined and strong! I was also worried that I might freak out and faint to see all the blood. Amazing thing is when I first saw baby's hair, something within me took over, perhaps the paternal instinct, and it was just beautiful and amazing to see baby slowly coming out. It was a great experience for Serene and myself and the labour and delivery bonded us even closer.
We are so excited and happy being parents, cuddling baby, meeting her needs and thanking God each moment that she is growing and healthy.
Above are some pics to share our joy with all of you dear friends.
