Elijah has a brother!!!

My second birth story is also an adventure even more exciting than the 1st.
Waterbag burst on 12th Jan 2013. However, it seems like I have no contraction at all and delivery did not seem like anytime soon. Having the hope of VBAC, I was asked to be admitted and to be observed. Doc suspected it might be hindwater.

Throughout the 2 days on 12th Jan and 13th Jan, I was basically doing the waiting game. There was some contraction but it was not frequent enough. However, it got me all excited coz my good friend Vivien ended up delivering on 13th Jan. It's really funny how we always joke about having our 2nd baby together etc. In the end, we did hahahha.

On 14th Jan Mon, Dr Chua decided to let me go home but she did a scan for me. Alas, amniotic fluid was really low by then. We have to go for a C-section again though it was not considered an emergency C-section. We decided to do it on 15th Jan coz according to Cheewan....it was a better fengshui and also that meant I could spend one more night with Elijah before delivery. :)

On 15th Jan Tues, it was THE day. I was super nervous even though it was not the first. But thankfully everything was alright. Finally I get to meet Edric. Yet another boy who was too comfy in my tummy. My 2 boys just don't wanna leave mama. Haahha. Is that a good sign?? Anyway, the side effects were the same. I felt like puking and I did a couple of times. So poor Elijah.....we couldn;t get him over on 15th Jan coz I was too weak and too sick. Had to leave him in good hands again that night at my mums.
Edric was a sweetie....though not my 1st born but I think he is gonna be my last baby to hug. :) Contented with 2 prince.

My note to Edric:
Dear Edric,

Hello there. It wasn't an easy birth journey. I was so excited to meet you at last. Though it was a tiring journey for the 10 months, my heart simply melt when we first met. You are such a sweet little boy. Holding you is such a fantastic feeling. You are a very fortunate little boy as you have parents who love you very much and a brother who simply adores you.

Thank you for coming into my life. I am blessed with you and will treasure every moment together. Looking forward as a foursome family.

 Hehehe wonder why you and Elijah both didn't want to come out to say hello earlier. My womb seems too comfy for both of you. Hhehehe.

I love you lots lots. My little Edric boy!

Regards,
             Mummy Mary
