Dearest Mei-mei,
Mama and Papa tried to get a bit of sleep though there were so many reasons why that was difficult. But Papa had been to work yesterday and thus had been on the go since early morning so Papa dozed off now and then. The same applied to Mama. She was so tired too that she needed to sleep. But you were making it difficult for her due to the contractions and other discomforts.
Slightly after 2 am, Mama felt an urge to push. The midwife had said that if Mama felt this, she could let her know and she could check how far along the labour was. Otherwise, the doctor had instructed that Mama be checked only at 6 am.
Mama asked the midwife to check as the urge was strong so she did and found that you were totally ready to come out! That was so quick! We were totally surprised!
The midwife quickly prepared all the necessary equipment and called the doctor to let her know. We felt bad for the doctor as she had only just left the hospital only 2 hours before. We figured that she'd hardly had anytime to rest. What a life!
Anyway, the midwife then coached Mama on how to help push you out. Mama got the technique fairly quickly and the midwife had to tell Mama to stop pushing so strongly as we had to wait for the doctor to arrive - which she did very soon after.
When the doctor had arrived, Mama started pushing again and you were out in no time! :D You're such a cute little thing! The nurses and midwife immediately did their usual routine of cleaning you and completing other tests, etc. You weigh 2.955 kg at birth and measured 49 cm in height. :D
Welcome to the family, Ashley. :D
It took some time before they brought us up to the ward and they brought you to the nursery. We were given Room 3222. Mama and Papa tried to get a bit of rest as we'd not slept at all. The nurses brought you for all kinds of tests throughout the rest of the day.
Later in the morning, Papa brought Che-che to visit you. She loves you SO much! Everytime you cried, Che-che would stroke you and soothe you. :D
During lunch time, Gong-gong and Popo came to visit you. Aunty Rachel dropped by as well. After that, Aunties Audrey and Karen came to visit as well.
In the afternoon, Grandma came and Che-che Wenmin came after that. Uncle Bentley came too as did Kow-fu and Kow-moh.
In the evening, after everyone had left, you were brought back to the nursery to rest.
That was the first day of your life, Lil' One. Welcome!
Oh! Your birth date is significant, Lil' One. It coincides with Mama's secondary school's Founder's Day. We hope that you will be attending that school too!
Papa, Mama and Che-che love you!
