We woke up early preparing to go my mum's place for some praying ceremony for baby Davian. This is the 1st time I feel so great for been able to go out after a month confinement at home and it is also the 1st time experience going out with baby and hus alone without confinement lady.
Was hoping I could cope with baby throughout the journey to my mum's place and he seems quite peaceful throughout so I am safe till we reach my mum's place. Went through a simple praying session and we brought him back home to prepare him for the party which starts at 11am.
We even decorated the function room with some balloons we have bought and some hanging elements. Not long after the crowds swam in and we are busy entertaining the guest while auntie the confinement lady help to take care of baby Davian. The 1st session was a crowd and food was almost finished, thats great!
The 2nd session started at 5pm and people only starts to come in close to 5 plus to 6pm. The crowd was not as overwhelm as the 1st session. By this time I'm almost shag and tired but still got to perserve.
Overall, our baby shower party was quite a success and was glad most of our relatives and friends actually turned up.
Not knowing holding a baby shower could actually receive so much ang baos also, and this adds as a pleasant surprise for us!
We are going to piggy bank all this ang baos money into his saving account =)

Davian is going one month soon...
How fast, Davian has almost turned 1 month old and we are celebrating his baby shower slightly earlier as his actual 1 month falls on a weekday. Wanted to hold the celebration on a weekend but the function room near our block was not available on both days so we have decided on a Good Friday.
We have decided on baby shower cakes from Sweetest Moments and food catering from Ye Lai Xiang.
Sweetest Moments: http://www.sweetestmoments.com.sg/
Looks like most 1st time parent will go for cakes from Sweetest Moments because of their nice packging and price seems reasonable.
Ye Lai Siang Catering: http://www.yehlaisiang.com.sg/
Ye Lai Siang is the caterer we have got for our house warming and it leaves a great impression to my friends and relatives so we decided to cater from them again.
We have spilt the day into 2 sessions, each session accomodating about 60 paxs. Hopefully majority turn up on that day otherwise we will be wasting lots of food and effort.
We have just received our photoshoot photos from our agency and submitted one for his full month cakes. Attached is the one...

My labour experience
Today is an excitng day because we are anticipating the arrival of our little baby. Admiting hospital at 1.30am and I was brought to the observation room for my 1st induce. Doctor has sheduled me for 3 times induce so hopefully by the 1st two induce my baby is out.
Waiting...
2nd dose of induce at 10am, 1st round failed as my cervix is not opened. Lying in the observation room for another 2 hours and feeling so uncomfortable as I couldn't move around. Nurses been checking if I need any pain killer as they observed my contraction to be quite close. At this point, I'm still able to bear. So waiting for my cervix to open, and finally its about 1 cm. It's really slow but my contraction is good so somehow I'm quite worried.
Waiting...
3rd dose given at 6pm, cervix still at 1cm opened. Lying in the observation room for another 2 hours and my contraction pain is getting more intensed. A doctor came in to see me and she has given me a disappointing answer that I may not be able to deliver today cos my cervix still remains as 1cm though my contraction is already quite close. I was pushed to the labour ward after 2 hours of waiting. The time was about 9pm+ and my contraction pain was getting more and more. Hubby has been so supportive and he is always around with me while I was moved around different rooms.
At about 10pm+, I nearly can't bear with the pain and asked for my 1st dose of pain killer which could only last for 3 hours. After the 1st dose, I slept through and woke up in the middle of night with pain again. I tried using the gas to relieve my pain but it was not working for me. When my contraction gets to every 1-3 mins interval I actually asked for 2nd dose of pain killer. Dr Lau did observe baby's heartbeat dropping and my cervix still at 2cm, so he decides to give more time for the cervix to open before attempting to do c-sect for me. They provided me with an oxygen mask to keep baby's heartbeat beating at a normal rate.
And finally by the time around 2pm my cervix was 4 cm opened and Dr Lau came in and give instruction to inject the epidural so I can bear the pain till it is 9cm open. Luckily my boy hears me and I could feel him pushing down my cervix, and the nurse checked and she told me she saw my baby's hair. Cool...here is the time, baby is ready to come out soon.
The nurse on duty asked me to practice on how to do pushing so that baby will be ready by the time doctor comes in. Dr Lau came in at about 4.30pm and he checked on me and told me he needs to bring baby out fast as baby's heartbeat keeps on dropping. He will use assisted equipment like forcep to bring baby out. At the point of time, I was pushing without feel as I was on epidural drip and in less then 10 mins with the help of forcep I heard my baby's loud cry.
Finally he is out!
Dear was beside me giving me encouragement and support. He even drop tears when he saw baby out and during the time he was asked to cut the emblical cord.
Baby arrives at 1658 and weighs 2.45 kg.
Looking at baby, I feel everything I have done is worth!
