It always happened on weekends

Sunday, 18^th of March, 2007, at around 12pm, at Randwick Hospital for Women.

Vivian and the Baby Girl

We went in at around 4:30am. Labour did not quite start until 10:30am. She popped out at 11:58am. Both Vivian and the still-unnamed baby girl are fine. Thanks to those who came and helped out baby-sitting Anna, who also came to this world on the weekend 32 months ago.

More later.

I didn’t see vivian this morning in Church so I thought I pray for her. I prayed at about 10.30am for a safe labour and delivery.
Thank God for answering my prayer :)

Congratulations Scott & Vivian! This is great news, thanks to God for the (relatively) short labor and safe delivery.

Thank you all!

Here is a more detailed story.

Vivian woke up at around 4am feeling the big bad C word — CONTRACTION!!! So we called the labour ward and they asked us to go in. Then we woke Anna up to baby-sit Anna (you can figure out which is which), and went our merry way to the hospital!

After a bit of check up, Vivian was not ready yet. She wasn’t fully dilated (only 3cm). Since we have been “evicted”, we ended up walking around the hospital. Went back at around 10, and turned out that we are ready to go!

Water broke and Vivian was “officially” in labour at 10:30am. Mid-wife promised that the baby will be out by 12, and she was right — the baby girl came out at 11:58am. She weighted 3.610kg and 48cm in length (a bit chubbier than Anna), and likes to suck :)

As of “still-unnamed”, we already have a few names in mind. It all came down to two names, both start with ‘E’, which we have not yet decided. Vivian will check how she is like tonight (noisy, crying, or very quiet), and then finalise tomorrow.

Susana: Congratulations!! Now your baby comes, and the next one will be mine…. don’t want to think about that. By the way, Wilson and I have two names in mind for our baby which are started with “E” as well… are you going to steal ours?

24.

Posted by scotty on Tue, 20 March 2007 9:21 pm

Susana — hmmm. No. Somehow I don’t think so.

why names started with “E” are so popular amongst you, focus parents?

i know a christian couple who named their daughter “Euphrates”.

chenny, “Ella” in spanish means “she”, which is not a name at all…

Posted by Elsie on Thu, 22 March 2007 3:42 pm

Hmm…an name starting with ‘E’… ;P
