At Raffles Hospital...

Hello! I said I'll share more of my past two months, so here's one picture of me in Raffles hospital where I was born. I was really small then. I weighed 2.46kg, and was 46cm tall. Daddy and mommy still remembers the first two nights when they were about to sleep, that they will hear a trolley being pushed from the nursery to the wards, and they would wonder if it was my trolley. Chances are, it was me! Hungry for mommy's delicious milk, hehe. I had to learn how to feed too, and it was not easy for both of us. I had a little jaundice, and had be kept under UV lighting. Mommy was looking for me, and found me by the mitten I was wearing. She cried when she saw me...

There were also the moments of my first pee that sprayed onto daddy, and my first few poops. A photo taken with the flash on made daddy worry so much he had to ask the doctor if my eyes were fine.

By the way, the doctor who delivered me was Dr Karolyn Goh, and the baby doctor was Dr Veronica Toh. They are both very beautiful, and I want to thank them both for looking after mommy and me.

I was born on that day under advice from Dr Goh, and before admission, dad brought mom for some maggi goreng and prata at Jalan Kayu. Dad spent the night on a nice single sofa bed beside mom. When mommy's contractions came, the pain became too much for her to bear after two hours, and she requested for epidural. Oh mommy, sorry for the pain... When I finally came out, I cried and cried. Daddy was stunned and forgot to take pictures, and had to be reminded by Dr Goh. Dr Goh also let daddy cut my cord. Once mommy hugged me, I was passed to Dr Toh, and somehow, some blood spilled into her jacket. Oops... Daddy saw her stick this long plastic tube into my nose, and he said he was worried. Haha. Well, after this, I was taken to the nursery for a bath, mom went to the ward, and daddy remained stunned...
