Maryam Balqis

July 8, 2007.
elly was admitted to hospital putrajaya after her normal check-up.

July 9, 2008.
i reached the hospital at 1.30pm. already waited there since 5am were shah, the hubby & ayang, the sis. when i arrived elly just got out from the procedure room. dr had to put in the second dose of medicine to induce contraction. the first dose at 7.30am didn't work.

we had to wait at the lobby / cafe when the visiting hours' over. lunch & ciggy break, we went in back at 4pm. elly started feeling the pain at about 3pm. then her opening was still 2cm. at 5.30pm still no change. at 6.50pm she felt her contraction pain every 2mins so we called the dr. first the nurse were just checking the baby's heartbeat. it was amazing to hear like a music..

at 7.10pm, the nurse checked her contraction again and said she was already at 4cm so they were getting ready to trans her to the labour room. she reached the labour hall at 7.20pm. shah were asked to signed a "term and conditions" paper before being allowed in. before he could read everything, he was rushed in.

ayang and i waited outside listening to the azan maghrib. ayang just took the sweater and ready to lie down, me just did a mental plan to open up my laptop and go online. before i could get my butt up to get to my laptop bag, shah came out with a big smile and a loud and clear "alhamdullillah ! it's a baby girl. elly sihat, baby pun sihat"

holy god ! in just 5mins of pushing, baby maryam balqis bt. shahrul were born at 7.30pm, weighted 2.46kg.

we waited again while the medical team clean up the baby & stitched up elly.

at ciggy break, i had a talk with shah. calming him down, reminding him that a father's responsibility from my point of view. my 3 main points were to be a responsible father & husband (now that he saw the suffer the wife went thru during labour to bring his baby to life), to save up and get a car (my sole condition to help them get marry 3 years ago was to get a car first before a baby, in which they already broke it but nevermind as long as they don't get too excited and neglect their priorities), and esp for shah, not to become a bastard while the wife is in pantang.

at 9pm, shah were allowed in again to see baby & mommy before they were brought back to the ward. at 10pm, mommy & baby were transferred to the ward. at 10.30pm, we went into the ward to see them. alhamdullillah, baby is very healthy and elly is very happy.

at 11pm, we left the hospital and finally got something to eat. i sent ayang back and then convoy with shah to keramat to bury the uri. (thank you cuz & hubby, for helping to buy the ingredients for the recipe to clean up the uri). at 1am, uri was buried.

at 2am, i went for a very late nite teh tarik with my cousin & hubby til 4am.

july 10, 2008.
elly was discharge at 4pm. went back to their house to packed mommy's and baby's stuffs and we reached keramat house at 6.30pm. i lepak til 10.30pm. dah rasa penat and sakit badan after 2 days of non-stop action..
