Her umbilical cord fell off this morning before shower. Dated 11/11/11.

Dr Chua Yang

That’s Dr Chua Yang from A Clinic for Woman, the gyane who has been with us through 40 weeks of pregnancy, 12 hours of labour and the final c-section delivery to a healthy baby. This photo is for Miley to see who helped bring her to this world.

On our way home!

Tiny little butterfly is on her way home!

Days at the hospital

Mother and daughter bonding time in the super single deluxe ward that we just transferred to. We spend 2 nights there till Friday noon.

One of the super effort gifts - Confinement Cupcakes from Claudia and Munn. Her self created recipe that I must share!!!

The sticky quinteple ginger cupcakes has Lots of ginger! They have all the usual cupcake ingredients of butter, eggs, sugar etc but I added ground ginger, freshly grated ginger and preserved ginger into the batter then I topped it off with chopped candy ginger in ginger jam before frosting. Purple cream is cream cheese frosting and the baby pink is lemon frosting. :)

Baby Miley at 1 day 14 hours old. Sleeping cozily in mummy’s arm after breast feeding. Looks like a little girl that needs quite a bit of attention.

Big Thank You to everyone who had visited us in the last 3 days and all the lovely gifts for baby Miley and mummy. Mummy received lots of tonics that will probably last for a year or more! Maybe daddy will help to consume some. ;)

Our little bug… ready to go home!

Day of Delivery

Just arrived at Mt A. Waiting for examination by Dr Chua before admission. Saw 4 couples joining us shortly. The nurse say there’s a lot of babies on induction today and all wards are full!

Slept for 3 hours from 4am to 7am before the nurse came in for another contraction test. If all goes well, Dr Chua will be breaking her water bag at about 9am for labour to begin. Mummy is feeling alright with slight contractions but no major pain yet. She’s doing great!

Water bag has just been broken and mummy got her epidural started as well. Labour starts now!!!

***

If we go by the book of 1cm dilation per hour, labour will probably last till 5pm. Epidural may help quicken it a little by 15 mins per hour.

Mummy is feeling a little nauseous now due to the side effects of Epidural and is trying to get some sleep with classical music playing in the background. Daddy is sitting in a cranky armchair watching her from the side and attending to her needs. And updating our excited friends on tumblr of cos…

Baby Miley arrived at 2138 today. Weight 3210g. Mother and child are save. Thanks for everyone’s well wishes.
