Finally after much confusion, consideration and affirmation, Mummy decided to have the c-sect done on 31 March 2009 and the timing to be between 0600 – 0630hrs. For baby to be out by 0630hrs, Dr. Adrian suggested Mummy to reach TMC by 0400hrs to register in and get ready for the operation.
Maternity instinct woke Mummy up automatically at 0245hrs this morning to have a shower before labour. By the time Mummy came out of shower, it was close to 0400hrs, this must be the longest shower that Mummy had ever taken. By 0430hrs, we took the luggage bag, red dates drink and laptop, and off we go for our 4 days 3 nights TMC holiday.
Setting off for TMC...
While waiting for the nurse to clean baby Kerryn, Mummy was given 3 bottles of hot water to keep warm.
Right after baby Kerryn came out...
The nurse made sure that baby Kerryn cries and she has 10 fingers and toes. Baby Kerryn weighs 3.01kg and is 48cm tall at birth.
Baby Kerryn very first moment...
After cleaning up, baby Kerryn was put in the nursery to keep warm and to sleep.

It was close to 0500hrs by the time we reached TMC, luckily there was only one couple in the queue. We had our registration done by 0530hrs and was directed to the ward to get ready for the operation.
While waiting to change...
After changing into operating suit...
Not long after that, the staff from operating theatre came to fetch Mummy. At the lift lobby, Daddy was asked to take a separate lift and that's when all the anxiety, curiosity and nervousness kicked in.
Mummy was being pushed straight into the operating theatre but there was no sight of Daddy. The nurse went ahead with the preparation and next came the anaesthesias who administered the drip and epidural. The process was really traumatising. Dr. Adrian entered at about 0615hrs and was rushing the nurses to hurry up because he needs to get the baby out by 0630hrs which was instructed by Mummy.
Epidural effect kicked in real fast, within 5 minutes, Dr. Adrian has begun the operation. At 0630hrs, Dr, Adrian announced the arrival of baby Kerryn.

Sleeping soundly!!!
The epidural effect on Mummy was real bad. It sent Mummy shivering non-stop for a good 3 - 4hrs. Since Mummy did not had breakfast that morning, the first thing that Mummy looked forward to was a good breakfast to cure the stomach before going to rest but to my horror, Mummy will not have breakfast and lunch for that day! My first meal was dinner!
