~Birth of Istelle, 08th June 2007~

My little Princess, Istelle, came into this world on this date (Oh yah, which happens to be the same day as Ariel 24yrs ago, and Bubu, 25yrs ago. Hehe) This is how it all happened..

As Istelle is a breeched baby, I am scheduled for operation on 13th June 2007, 2.30pm for my little princess to finally see her daddy and mummy. However, on 08th June morning, something unexpected happened..

I was just back from my toilet 'visit' at 6+am and has climbed back into bed. However, I cant fall asleep. Water just kept dripping during my toilet visit. I thought it was just some discharged hence I did not think too much about it. However, as I lie on my bed, i felt that my panty was quite wet, very unusual from before. I decided to check it out. But as immediately as I climbed outta bed, water started dripping again.. All the way from my bedroom to the kitchen toilet, to my mum's room.. I guessed my waterbag has burst, though there's no sign of labour pain and contraction..

I woke my mum up immediately and we started preparing for our trip to the hospital. First thing I did was to call Hubby (He was having reservice) and I called for a cab.. Around 7+am, I am in Thomson Medical's labour ward, waiting for hubby to reach and waiting for operation. I had this urine pad inserted inside me connected to my bladder to clear my urine.. and gosh, it was REALLY UNCOMFORTABLE!!

At 10.20am, I was pushed into the OT while Hubby was led to put on the gown and mask. I was really very nervous as I opt for Local Anesthetics instead of General Anesthetics. I wanted to see my darling the moment she comes into this world.. The drip was inserted into my veins and mine was it painful. On the contrary, the epidural was not as painful.. but I do have a kinda sensation going into my bones as epidural was injected. When the doctor is sure that the lower half of my body has been numbed, they started to operate on me. By now, Hubby is already beside me holding my hand..

All I can say about the operation is, IT SURE AINT FEEL GOOD!! Though my lower half has been numbed, but there's still this feeling of tugging and pulling and there's a cramp feeling inside. It sure doesn't lose out to those pricky pain... =( at 10.57am, I finally get to see my baby.. Now we know why she doesn't turn her head downwards. That's cuz HER UMBILICAL CORD WAS WOUNDED AROUND HER NECK THRICE!!!

It's really GOD's bless that she came out earlier instead of the scheduled date, safe and sound. I wouldn't know what might have happened otherwise. My 1st sight of Baby Istelle is her frowning at me.. Hehe.. How cute.. Must be thinking who has dragged and pulled her outta her comfort zone. =p My Gynae who was operating on me told me that Istelle winked at her the moment she was out. ^_* How cute!

Anyway, this is how Baby Istelle entered our life finally.. And all throughout my pregnancy, I am really glad to have Hubby's support and understanding. He's the best hubby ever in the whole wide world and I am a lucky wife. Hehe..
