Baby Tyler says Hi

Baby Tyler Zhang was born on 12.02 pm, Sep 13th, Monday at St Vincent Private in the city.

He weighed in at 3.68kg and measured around 49cm.

He was 38 weeks. Dr Youssif arrived by 11.35 am and I was very very anxious at this stage because I reached the hospital at 9.15 am and waited for a good 2 hours for the op.

It was very different from Lya as the anticipation killed my anxiety and I was feeling extremely nervous but refused to burden my partner. It would had worried him further.

The operation took a good half an hour to get Tyler out and another hour to stitch me up.

I went back to my room 420, by 2 pm and mum was worried sick.

I was under a lot of morphine and it was a wee bit disorientated and I had to start nursing Tyler by 2.10 pm.

The first night was quite scary but mother stayed with me on Monday nite and Tuesday nite.

She was a blessing.

Patrick stayed with me on wed nite and thursday nite and we got discharged on Friday morning by 9 am.

Friends and workmates send their flowers and best regards. Baby Tyler did got more guests than Lya.

Everyone comment that he was slightly smaller.

How do I feel about baby Tyler?

Very Proud and would I do it again,....yes I would.

I guess my pain treshold is much higher than anticipated.

By Sunday, the mid wife offered invaluable advice that would change my world. Pump extra milk and feed him manually because he has such a small mouth. Before that, it took me 2 hours in late nite feeds to satisfy him. He had jaundice and wasn;t getting enough fluids.

What a momentum leap it had made. Not only do I rest more because I nurse quicker but Tyler gets all the milk he can possible drink and I am ever so happy because I dun get sore nipples!

Welcome to the world , Baby Tyler..

I am so eager to see he grow stronger and bigger each day....
