She was born on Father's Day 21 June shortly after noon. Weighing about 2.5kg (around 5.9 pound). Indeed the best present for a Father's Day that a daddy can ever ask for. Mummy is trying to conceal the jealousy in here.

嫉妒。

Since I bet all are interested to know my birth story, I shall share with you people.
允許我跟你們分享我的生產過程。
*****************************************************************************************************************
Just dozed off after a hard day of shopping, eating and playing mahjong at about 3+am and when we were fairly having a good few hours' sleep, I was awake with my water bag broke. This usually happens in the movies I was thinking but no, it's really happening to me. Don't really feel much contractions thereafter and quickly wake Hubby up and get ourselves prepared and drove to hospital.
逛了一天，吃了一天和打了痳將到凌晨３點多還沒睡過２小時我就查覺到水袋破了。我一直以為這種的情節只有在電影會發生。但我還沒感到很強烈的收縮。於是叫坤仔趕緊送我到醫院。
Upon reaching, nurse checked on my dilation and found it's still only 3cm. So off to snoozy land we go and took a short nap for about 1+ hr when they took another look at me. This time I've dilated to 8cm. Doc wants me to get prepared for the real labour as my contractions is getting stronger and more regular.
到了醫院，護士檢查了我的擴張還是上個禮拜的３cm。於是我們就睡了一覺到大約一個小時後，她再次檢查。這次已經是８cm了。醫生要我准備開。
Slowly, the strong contractions came in and oh man, it's the worst menses cramps that a girl can ever ever had I swear. It feels like something is ripping inside your stomach and yet you can't do anything to stop it but to endure. Finally at about 10+ in came my life saviour. He asked once again whether I really wish to take the epidural and I was still pondering but the pain was truly killing me hence I said go ahead. Managed to sleep for another 1 hr+ before the real pushing starts.
收縮的痛越來越強烈。是我遇到最痛的月經痛。好像在你的肚子裡穿過去。大約１０點多的時候，麻醉師走了進來。我的救星終於到了。打了麻醉藥之後真個人輕松很多。我再次睡了一個小時。
He got me to sit upright by the bedside with my head leaning against Hubby's chest and my legs and arms all go round him. I was shivering hard due to the pain NOT the needle. Shortly, I felt a tingling sensation on my spine and it was done. I only remembered holding onto Hubby very hard. Later after the labour, he told me how scary and big that epidural needle was and asked whether it's painful. Seriously, the pain is just like normal needle that used for blood test. The pain was simply incomparable to the contractions.
麻醉師要我坐垂直靠在坤仔的胸部然候把手和腳抱著他。這時我的全身都在發抖。不是應為我害怕而是收縮的痛是越來越痛。不到一會兒，那又長有粗的針就這樣插進去。
After all was set in, the epidural began to take effect and I felt numbness on my legs. Slowly I was losing control of my legs. They don't belong to my body anymore. I began to feel comfortable again and took another 1+ nap together with Hubby. We were both dead tired I can tell you. 1 lesson learnt never never stay up too late or play too hard when your due date is approaching. It's nightmare. Imagine tiredness + nervousness + anxiousness + scariness = indescribable.
當麻醉藥一發效，我感覺腳失去知覺。在次感到很舒服，又睡了多一個多小時。
Anyway, the real pushing started around 10+ near to 11. That's when the real show came. The pushing was not so bad as they did not give me full dosage of epidural as I still felt some pain so whenever the contractions came in, I will need to start pushing 3 times and stopped.
真正開始堆是大概１０點多左右。由於我沒１００﹪的注射全部的麻醉藥還是能感覺到收縮的痛。每當
感覺到收縮，醫生只讓我堆３次。
All these went for over 2.5hrs before Doc Shutts said: I would need you to push real hard as I can only give you 3 hrs of pushing. Anything longer than that, I would have to use either the forceps, the vacuum or an episiotomy. I do not want all 3 of the choices of course. But guess what, shortly after she said that, I seriously went into meditation mode. No more joking or talking. CONCENTRATE is the only thing I want to do now. Hence, I pushed with every single strength I have and BB Keira came into the world 5 minutes after the doc's threatens.
經過了2.5鐘頭，醫生說再不出來只好用鉗子 ，吸器或把我剪開。但然我全不都不要。就更極及的努裡堆。沒料到不到５分鐘，寶寶就出來了。
