First Day at School

Today was the first day of school for Caliph, in a new school. It was also his first time boarding the school bus on his own. I can't help feeling sad and worried that he would be left all alone when he reach his school. Who is going to take off his shoes and socks for him, does he know how to board the school bus when school ends, does he know how to put on his shoes and socks for him? I am always there for him, just could not bear the separation. All kind of thoughts are running through my head.

Caliph was fine and did not cry when he board the school bus, even when he was in school, however, when he saw other children crying he started to cry and asking for me. But after sometime he sober down and forget about his mummy.

Birthday

I woke up early this morning as I was supposed to get myself admitted at KKH at 9am. Everything was packed and told Caliph that both Mummy and Daddy have to go to work. A part of me wants to tell him that I am going to the hospital to deliver his little sister, however, I could not do so. He would not understand and he sure wants to follow us, as he faithfully does for my checkup. So got to tell him a white lie. Sorry Caliph...

Arrived at hospital at about 8.45am, went to the delivery suite. Registration was done and I was on the bed all hooked up with the monitor on my belly by 9.06am. Watching American Gangster showing on HBO while waiting for my gynae. He came around 11am and about 11.15am, he broke my water bag and checked that I was 5cm dilated. I was happy as I am left with another 5cm to go, this delivery should be fast.

I did not feel any contractions till the last hr before the delivery that was about 1pm. The contractions come and go every few minutes. Then I started to feel the urge to push, and was told by the midwife not to push first as my gynae is on the way. However, I could not hold it any longer and started to push. Then I felt the head came out and in came my gynae.

At 2.39pm, a baby girl was born.

The Anticipated Checkup

Today was my checkup with my gynae at KKH. As usual, he checked me and discovered that my cervix has opened 3cm. Asked me to admit myself in on the 15th of November 09 on a Sunday. It is time for me to deliver my baby. We were both excited and I was nervous at the same time. Even though this was my second pregnancy I just hope I have a smooth and fast delivery.
