Welcome, baby Charis~!

My princess has finally arrived~!

Was scheduled to go for induction on 21 Nov, but she decided to come out on her own. On the 21st, i got woken up by a contraction at 3.30am. Thought nothing of it and went back to sleep cos we had planned to wake up at 5am to go to hospital. i got woken up again at 4.30am due to another contraction. This time, i got up to brush my teeth and felt more contractions.

We got to the hospital an hour ahead of time and i told the nurse that i don't need to induce anymore cos i'm already having contractions.

6.00 - 7.30 am In observation room
7.30 - 8.00 am Birth room
8.45 am Had epidural
9.45 am Contractions got REALLY intense and i could feel downward pressure... can feel her descending... epidural haven't kick in 100%.
10.12 am baby Charis was born after just one mighty push!

Because the epidural hadn't really kicked in, the pain was much more intense. on hindsight, i'm glad that i got to experience real labour. even though it was quite short, but it sure felt like an eternity then!

She weighed 3.27kg and measured 49cm at birth. Didn't cry much but is very active... loves to kick and punch~! She's so so sweet and cute~! with a sexy mole on her left sideburn~! Will post pics on facebook soon.

i can't believe i'm a mom of 2~!
