So we finally met our Peanut on the 12th of January 2016...and I can clearly remember every details of the delivery. We went to the hospital around 6:40am at the emergency department and I was admitted directly to the Maternity Unit. It was decided that CS is the best and safest way due to some infection and from there, everything was quick as a lightning.
I was brought to the CS Operating Room, given lower back anesthesia and even requested the doctor to have some staff take pictures since my hubby is not allowed in the operating room. I was actually smiling and observing the fast action going on around me. Maybe Im morbidly curious but I was watching a CS operation on Youtube two days back....I was kinda hoping they will allow me to see the operation but of course that will be too much. Medical staff might probably think I'm some kinda weirdo.
By 8:32am, my whole world had changed when I hear a small cry of a baby for the first time. I was slowly digesting the fact that the baby I carried for 39 weeks is now out in the world. I was waiting for the bonding feeling...some sort of emotional overload that didnt come. When the anesthesiologist informed me that the baby is out... I was almost on the verge of crying. But the moment was ruined when he commented "My God, your baby was loud!" after my newborn daughter started bellowing with all her might. That made me smile...Ah! she's my daughter after all.... I'm apparently loud myself you see, so the crying thing never happened.
A minute passed by and my 3.38kg bundle of joy was presented to me crying, but she stopped when she heard me calling her name. She turned her head to my face and looked at me weirdly. And off she goes to be cleaned and tested.
Around 9:30am, I was brought to my recuperating room and slowly trying to recover the feeling from my legs. My newborn was brought to my room and her father thinks that he had never seen pink skin until now. Therefore, for the rest of our lives, January 12 is our New Year.
