Hello World - 1 Jan 2007
At the beginning…
While the world all over are celebrating new year 2007, hubby and me are in SJMC waiting for the arrival of our firstborn.
Baby Zoe was born on 1st January 2007 at 11:58pm. My actual gynae is on holiday and baby landed safely on earth by the help of a nice and gentle Dr. Tan. I remember the Dr said, "Ha! The last new year baby to arrive!"
Hubby and me are actually very excited as we waited every minute since I am admitted at 2pm. The contraction pain is bearable up until about 10pm when Dr rupture my amniotic sac - after that, every contraction is a torture and hubby gave me a towel to bite on to ease my pain. I was desperate then and asked for epidural, but the nurse told me it is to late as I am already 7cm dilated. So, I hang on to the laughing gas given like hanging on to my dear life. I still thank God because it is still considered a "short and simple" labour, the exact same words that I prayed very often throughout my pregnancy. God answered my prayer and baby Zoe is born naturally without any complications.
Everything about baby is really "on the dot". Her birthweight is 2.5kg and she is almost exactly 37 weeks, so Dr said that she is okay and not considered premature - just nice. We are really thankful for that, as I was quite worried throughout my pregnancy with all the complications and not well very often.
Now, baby Zoe is safe in our hands - so tiny but yet so precious to us - truly God’s greatest new year gift for both of us.
Hey baby Zoe, daddy and mommy loves you a lot and we look forward to every moment with you. You are God’s precious gift to us. 
oo congrats!!!
she looks so cute
