Its Time!

Well, the day we have all been waiting for (or is it Wendy's been dreading all these while) has finally arrived! Wendy's water broke at approximately 6:30pm at work! The child is coming 10 days early! We are not prepared.

Our original plan was to take next week off to prepare for the birth e.g. specify the birth plan, pick names, pack our bags etc. However, I got a call from Siong Ee at approximately 6:30pm telling me that Wendy has been stuck in MDA's washroom for quite sometime already. So, I rushed to her while dialing Dr. Shelly Ross' pager telling her that we suspect that Wendy's water was broken. The Dr. told us to go home right now, take a nice hot shower, pack our bags and meet her at the hospital at 8:30pm.

After admitting, we were met up in the Birthing Suites area by two excellent RNs, RN Janet from Singapore and RN Gilles (most probably from South Africa from her accent). RN Janet was the main labour nurse who took care of us and she was EXCELLENT. A big THANK YOU should go out to her...without her care, it would have been 10 times more difficult.

Some pictures of our rushing to the hospital:
