Baby-to-go 3: Hannah

Hannah Foo was born at 3:29 pm.:)

Ling was in a lot of contraction pain earlier on, but after the epidural kicked in, she was numbified haha.

Dr. Adrian Woodworth arrived at about 2:45 pm like it was his off day in a polo-shirt, berms and sandals but was all business. There were two nurses going the “BREATHE, PUSH, 1, 2, 3, 4… 10” routine.

I was expecting a lot more drama, like Ling hollering in pain, her squeezing my hand until it turns blue… but it was nothing. Even Ling said she didn’t feel a thing! Credit has to go to Dr. Woodworth and the two nurses.

The actual delivery from the start took like, maybe, 10 minutes LOL – and Ling pushed like about 6 times, and out she popped.

And we’d been expecting that a C-section would had been needed for a big 3.405 kilograms, 50 cm, and 32cm head circumference little lass.

Well, Ok, photo time. First photo of Hannah was taken at 3:30 pm but she’d just come out from the womb, and it’s a bit of a bloody sight. So here’s a nicer one taken with Mummy at 3:32 pm.:)

We’d just ‘checked-in’ to her Premium Room that cost a bomb, but I thought what the heck – might as well just go all the way. I’ll blog about that later.:)

  1. Congratulations! Strangely, I had a feeling Hannah would be born today (yesterday, depending on our respective time zones). I told everyone who would listen that my friends were probably going to deliver their first baby just hours before Yang messaged me.

    Great work, Ling! Hannah’s a beauty. : )
