Little Ethan has arrived on 22 October 2007

Finally our little bundle of joy has arrived safely on the Monday afternoon, after 30 mins of the operation. Mummy was having jitters when she was wheeled into the OP theatre awake (didn't have the experience for Caden cos I was already knocked out due to emergency c-section). Shortly when Mumy was awake, the doc told her that both Mummy and child are fine which has put my heart at ease.

The first thing when Mummy saw PaPa as she arrived her ward was, "he's 3.325kg!" and the elated face on him. Mummy was totally shocked and asked in her drowsy state and repeated, "3.325kg???". I have only put on a total of 7.3kg and Ethan has took up 3.325 of my gain.. we are happy that Ethan has been born healthy and safely despite going through the threaten abortion way back 7mths ago and constant issue of weight gain throughout the pregnancy.

Caden was excited to see Ethan as his cousins Kimi and Samuel were too. They all rushed to sayang Ethan in his cot trolley but Caden was very much distracted when we gave him a new toy and explained to him that it was a gift from Ethan DiDi. Caden of cos, wasn't silly to believe that as he replied, PaPa bought him the toy when Ah Gu asked him later who gave it to him.

As expected, Caden was crying badly for me when its time to leave the hospital. PaPa had to coaxed him and explained that Mummy cannot come home only after a while...
