Day 2 Itinery Saga Cont....

12.30pm Silence of the Lamb

with clockwork precision, the nurses came at 12.25 to wheel pauline to the Op room, and she was push into the op room at exactly 12.30pm..... I was only able to catch this short clip... can't really hear very well .. but you get to see Pauline's pre-op expression..


1.10pm Shattering wailing

was sitting outside the op room waiting... and I see doctors and nurses walking into the op room..

hmmm.. saw ppl going in but none came out.... and looks like its ALMOST ALL the senior doctors and nurses working on Pauline... WOW... that really put me at ease...

As I was waiting, the lull in adrenalin, plus the fact that I have not had a single bite yet, kind of got me a little drowsy ... think I actually doze off... but was awoken but a REALLY LOUD ... WEEEEEHHHHHH..... that got me immediately up on my feet !! with a renewed rush of adrenalin, I was looking left and right .... trying to make sure i wasn't dreaming and there was no other baby in sight...

I checked my watch 1.17pm ... the next few series of baby wails got louder .... DAMN!..(pardon my language) .. this boy really have some lungs!!!


1.40pm First meeting!

I stood right outside the door .. .waited... 1.20pm waited... 1.30pm... waited.
The radiologist came out from the X-ray room round the corner,.. heard Zayne's powerful stereo, smile and congratulated me in Japanese "Omedetto ne", and went back into his room..

I smile back .. and continue to hold that beaming smile.... till the door to the Op room open...and the Nurse came out with my pride in her arms... congratulating me, while Zayne continued to exhibit his full stereos!! I replied thank you and instinctively reached out for MY SON...

yes..my son... ..ah... never thought these 2 words can bring out so much emotion in me....MY SON....

I guess its all the talking to him while he is still in his mum's womb... the moment I held him and called out his name.... he open 1 eye.. took a look at me.. and calm down immediately... wriggled and nestled into my arms peacefully.. .. that left me ..proud n speechless, for lack of a better word to describe my feelings.

2.15pm Return of the Mummy

Pauline is wheel back ... and required 5 nurse to carry/transfer her from the Op bed to room bed... if any of you watched 200pound beauty... the scene is a little similar to the doctor n nurse trying to shift the actress from the ambulance stretcher to hospital bed , but of coz Pauline is notthing close to 200 pound lah.. :P


THe rest of the day is a Blur of events...

- handphone, MSN, SKype, sms, MMS.. beeping non-stop... calling dad, mum, sis, brother... ,

- running to get the nurse when pauline's drip almost runs out, ..

- carrying zayne when he cries ( I only had to do that twice... very well behave...)..

- helping to support zayne while pauline breast fed him.. (success.. fed him 3 times today)..

- I got to wipe his POO-wy butt and change diaper when he crapped the second time....
the little rascal gave me the golden shower just as I was about to Tape his pampers down!!....

- help pauline shift when the wound hurts.. pains me to see her pain look... sorry darling...

- oh yes, and busy taking pictures and videos.. when possible...

Let there be ZAYNE....

World !!!.... meet Zayne Pua! born at 13:17pm japan time, 12:17pm singapore time, and weighing at 3.3kg ...

THE WAITING GAME

like precision clock-work, the nurses came and wheel pauline to the operation room. I am now sitting outside... waiting, anxious and expectant... no word to describe the actual feeling
