baby azalia

On 04/06/07 at 11.48am baby azalia was born into this world. It was a very eventful delivery. We were expecting a normal delivery(with epidural of course) because everything was going well but after about 7 hrs since my water broke and I was only 4 cm dialated, her heartbeat dropped and the doctor and midwife was pushing me for a c-section because there are signs that she is in distress. So ceasarean it is and since since I was already on epidural, they increased the dosage and I was wide awake throughout the operation. I couldn't feel the pain of course, but I could feel the they were pulling the baby out of me, they were pushing the placenta to take it out etc. kesimpulannye rasa macam kene korek..

anyway the moment I heard her cry I was in tears myself because I was soooo relieved. Asa azankan right after they cut her umbilical cord and he was relieved too that both mother and baby are alright.

So currently I am resting and hopefully will recover soon. My recovery will be longer than those who have a normal delivery but I'm hoping it will not be more than 2 weeks . The really painful times was the first 3 days. The pain currently is bearable but I still have trouble moving around and pulling myself up from the bed. Asa will be getting back to work next week but I wish he won't but what to do... My mom will be getting back to work the week after so hopefully I can be more mobile by then.Both of them have been a big help in doing things for the baby so I need to get better soon so that I can do everything by myself.

People keep on asking me how does it feel to be a mother. Honestly, the first few days, I didn't feel anything . I was in too much pain to bother and I was just looking forward to getting better. But now I am better, I can sincerely say, I am very happy to be one.
