Seen baby for the first time

Dear baby, today, daddy and mummy see you for the first time. You are lying so snug and comfortable in mummy's womb. You look like you are sleeping, cuddling, quietly listening and growing. Daddy says he feels you are a girl. The moment I have you in me, I feel a gentle spirit, and I believe you must be a girl, or otherwise, a very mild tempered boy. The moment I see you, I do not feel so apprehensive about the pregnancy anymore. Thank you for giving me signs to tell me of your existence before I contracted stomach flu and had to be hospitalized  Otherwise, the doctors might have unknowingly injected medications that are harmful to you. You look so precious and so innocent, lying there quietly in my tummy that its hard to believe, in eight month's time, you'll be out screaming and crying and turning our lives upside down, just like what your mischievous brother did! Nevertheless, daddy and mummy will still love you and take care of you. And this time, granny said she'll take care of you when mummy goes to work, so you are very blessed. Your brother will be the poor thing who will be going to childcare when he's 18 months old, but he doesn't know it yet. Keep it a secret between you and me ok?

The Mount Alvernia hospital is a really caring place. Although I do not exactly like the A&E doctor who attended to me coz he never wait for me to complete my sentence and he didn't solve my problems. I had to go back to the hospital when the medicine did not make me feel better. I felt so terrible that I wished I could just die. And hubby too! I was obviously suffering and he didn't admit me during the first time I was there. If he had, my sufferings would be shortened by a good few hours and we need not pay that few hundred extra midnight charges. And he still ask me to take care of baby! I already felt like dying. If I could take care of baby, I'm not human. The Sister who did pastoral care came to talk to me during my stay and she's really warm and nice. The nurses are nice too and the whole place gave me a very warm feeling. It helps that the temporary chapel is nearby. I'm thankful that hubby stayed with me during my stay and my parents and in laws helped to take care of baby Kieran. But it sucks that we had to go through the New Year 2013 in a hospital. Once on drip, I finally felt relieved and I can sleep. The pain in my lower back was tremendously unbearable. Once that pain went away, I can sleep. I still vomit after drinking a tiny sip of water. I got better the next day but I heard that the virus had spread to almost everyone in my family who had contact with me. This was really strong strain of virus and we suspected it to be the Norovirus which claimed lives in Europe and the US and had caused hospitals and schools to be closed down. Lucky baby survived it all. I thought its  going to affect her adversely but Dr Ho said she's alright. She's 8 weeks 2 days old today and most probably EDD will be on 21 Aug although for second births, it will definitely be earlier. Hoping for the best now.
