Last Thursday, I was shocked to received an unexpected SMS from Abie at around 12.30pm telling me that she's on her way to PCMC...Ohh emm gee...I dialled her number and we had a little quarrel as she yelled at me not to bother...Hey, darling, what do you expect?!!Am I going to be okay not worrying you're being sent to PCMC?!!And the reason given for calling me in the first place was just to inform?!!Haha...As if that was sooo true....I've made my decision and I'm not gonna miss my chance...
I quickly took 'Emergency Leave' and I called Adif...Luckily I caught him while he's on the way back to PCMC after getting the necessary things for labour from home...
I waited anxiously and Adif picked me up at Tower 1 around 1.40pm...We arrived at PCMC nearly 2pm...By that time, Abie's bag of amnion water had been cracked and she told us that she had taken an Epidural injection...
It was lunch time but Abie had no appetite...Only a portion of fresh fruits, a little bit of mushroom soup and a half piece of energy bar...Adif went to pray while I accompanied Abie to have a small nap...
Approaching Asar, I went to the praying room...Now, leaving Adif to watch on Abie...When I return, Abie has awaken...She had her tea...I made a small cup of hot Milo and gave her sandwiches to munch...My mama called and spoke to Adif...
At around 530pm, I saw that the real-time contraction plot has become quite aggressive and rapid...the nurse kept asking whether Abie felt any pain...ohh, no...no pain at all...
I was asked to wait outside at around 610pm...okay then...
Abie's family from Gemencheh arrived nearly 630pm...I greeted them and my mama called again...This time, she chatted with Cik Leha...I took Abie's sister to the praying room...
When I return back to the maternity ward, Abie still had not delivered yet...So, Cik Leha went inside the labour room...Abie cried...Aiyooo sweet darling...
Next, I went to check on Abie...This time, she yelled at me not to touch anything - don't touch her, don't touch her bed, don't raise my hand, be still, be still...Haha...Abie was like,"Ehh...Jangan jangan...Aku tengah sakit ni~~~" I wished her luck and went outside...
At 9pm, Adif's family from Alor Setar arrived...Yeay...
Not so long after that, we heard Afnan's crying...a loud one, really...yeay...
it took nearly 40 minutes for the PCMC staff to clean the mess before allowing us to celebrate our new bundle of joy - Afnan Najmi...
I guess I'm the 5th person to hold Afnan right after Adif, Abie and both the grandmothers...ooh...i'm so in love with my handsome prince...and the best part is i'm the one who captured his first smile...lalalalalala...
to Abie - I'm so so proud of you...like the note that i've scribbled: Afnan Najmi is bound to be as SPECIAL as you are, and that's as SPECIAL as anyone can get...
