Kinda expected the little one to arrive on his estimated due date.. but he decided to pop out early on 22nd Nov 2010. My water bag broke around one am and was admitted to the delivery suite around 2 plus. Contractions started and i had epidural injected around 5am. Was fully dilated around 12 pm and baby arrived after an hour of pushing.
It really feels kinda surreal, when the little one whom i have been carrying for the last 9 months popped out and started crying. So loud and wonderous, his first cries. It felt quite like a miracle.. my baby. ( well.. the birthing process was kinda traumatic though and i was quite drained after the whole event).
Its been one week into parenthood and one week into confinement. Baby's feeding time means a constant lack of sleep plus struggles with the demands of parenthood like breast feeding. Tiring but worth the effort. The in-laws and dearie has been wonderful and i'm grateful for their efforts. Now i can't wait for the dreaded one month of confinement to end. Baby' s doing alrights.. and he melts our hearts when he smiles.. the charmy naught little boy. I'm grateful to have him, and the dearie.. =)
