And so Little Baby came into our world on 9 October 2013, 2 weeks and a day ago.
She was a screamer right from the moment the doctors and nurses pushed her out of me. Her screams filled the entire room and more. I remember hearing one of the attendants commenting that she was loud. Lol.
When they first showed her to me, I couldn't see her clearly (I wasn't wearing my glasses in the OT). And then just as quickly as they had whisked her away to be cleaned up, she was placed onto my naked chest. Skin on skin. Mother and daughter. Within 5mins of her birth. I like that arrangement. They kept her on me for a whole hour before bringing her away to be dressed.
I'd thought about what to say to her the first time I saw her. I couldn't come up with anything and thought I'd just wing it and say whatever came to my mind. In the end, I only managed a cheesy "Hello Little Baby".
The c-section was a scary and somewhat traumatising experience but I shall not dwell on it.
What's most important is Little Baby's a relatively healthy normal little baby girl.
Maybe we should stop calling you Little Baby already. Right, our precious Nadya?
This was taken about 1hour and 15mins after she was delivered.
