New Baby..

Well.. she's still a baby, but bigger now at the time I'm writing this. Hehe. A beautiful baby girl was born on Thursday, May 19th 2005 11.30 a.m. I'm her mother. Another girl in a family. She was born a week earlier than expected. I was working like mad the week before, just in time to get everything in order for others to catch up. Felt pain, normal I guess, the night before. I'm not that sure that I will be in labor the next day. Thought that they were just normal lower abdomen pain, I slept with Nabilah and comfort her throughout the night, occasionally woke up to tell my hubby that I felt kindof weird and painful.

All well and good, until the next morning, the pain was a bit unbearable but I still can prepare Nabilah to nursery and punch card at the office. My dear hubby begged (with somekind of threats added to it) me to go to the clinic. I did. Just to make sure that it was not false alarm. Went in to the doctor's office at 9.40 a.m. I was already 4 cm dilated. Wowee! Gonna go into labor soon. I was admitted to the labor room at 10 o'clock, my hubby rushed back home to get 'air selusuh' and 'air akar fatimah', and at the same time managed to call Mak. In labor room, I was praying hard for the baby to not come out before her dad is beside me. Scarry though, because she may want to pop out anytime. Hehe.

No painkiller, no medication and no epidural. No, no, and no. Just the plain labor pain that lasted like one and a half hour before I gave birth to Norsafiya Najihah at 11.30 a.m, with my hubby at side, Dr. Khamsiah and another midwifes. It was short and sweet. Everyone in the office was shocked to hear I went into labor that day, because they saw me in the office an hour before that! Hehe.

Now, she's a bubbly adorable going into 8-months old baby girl. See her pic, isn't she beautiful? Look carefully and you may notice that she has a mole on her left cheek, just like me.
