Our princess: Alya Syifa

I already past 40 weeks; keep on asking hubby this open ended question ;when the baby will come out? He..he... I have been at home since I was 38 weeks. My part for the review paper; SUBMITTED, update for clone library screening; DONE. So I was relaxing, doing some reading, trying new recipe and doing bit of cleaning every day as Syahid never stop scattering his toys all over the place. Pity Ahmad Syahid he missed all his friends at school (I think). It's Ok Syahid, we'll try to get a place in school for you :)

Manage to bake pandan sponge cake.Second trial apparently :) It turn out better than the first!
Sempat juga buat donut dan dipass ke jiran terdekat Kak Naz and Kak Irma. Lots of activity on a single day. Yet, why there was no sign of baby coming out?

The next morning,27 January 2011; 3rd day past 40 weeks, I woke up still feeling excellent, solat subuh and decided to lie down again before getting ready for the last appointment with the midwife at RHW.
7.00 a.m : Hmmm...maybe the false alarm has started again( or will this be time?)

Reached ROW by 8.15 a.m, the pain is getting stronger but of course I can still walk. When Jo( the midwife) asked me "How are you my darling?" I told her about the pain. Baby position and heartbeat still OK.

" Will you ring the delivery suit if you're at home now?" Jo asked.
" Yup, I think I will"
" Ok, then I think we better check your serviks"
" Ok"
" OMG, you're 8cm dilated. I'll send you to the delivery suite right away"
" Oh! Really? Ok " I was a bit startled, start to feel nervous and suddenly confuse at the same time. Betul ke baby dah nak kuar ni? To the delivery suite we go :)

After some painful contraction, a bit of 'polite' scream and pushing....SURPRISE! Congratulation! You got a baby girl. Alya Syifa isn't she gorgeous? and she is almost alike her brother Ahmad Syahid except for the pointed chin :)
Alhamdulillah...Syukur padamu Ya Allah
