Welcome! (Part 1)

Today is Oct 6, Monday. 

When I woke up at 3am to visit the bathroom, I found signal of labour. It's actually a surprise because my due date is supposed to be Oct 13, exactly one week earlier. I think the squat exercise last night was inducing the labour...

I was quite calm at that point because I learnt about the information from books and friends. I quietly woke Ah Lun up, but his response was so funny. I had never seen him waking up so quickly. I would say he was fully awake in just one second and sit up right at 90 degrees. 

I finished packing the last bit of my hospital bag while Ah Lun was freshening  up. We left a note to Tin Tin on the blackboard wall, and I said good bye to Kailan before I left home. 

Ah Lun drove me to Union Hospital on deserted roads. But we did not talk much, may be we were a bit anxious, excited and everything. 

After one hour of monitoring, nurse allowed me to check into the hospital because they found there's a pattern of contractions. 

Well it's not too painful by that time, and Ah Lun is joking at every minute, so time passed so quickly. At around 6am, I sent Ah Lun back home to take some rest. He also needs to cancel his jobs today too. Thanks his buddy for covering him this week. 

I took advantage of this morning quiet time to work on my last task - reviewing a PowerPoint deck. I managed to finish it before 9am and sent back my comments to office. Just on time! 

Now, I am so free now, trying to distract myself by writing a blog to get rid of the cramps. 

Red Bean, hopefully I can see you soon.
