Welcome to the world Shawn!!

1st April is a really good date. Not only was it my 3rd yr student anniversary, one of my uni friends gave birth to a baby boy on that day!! Have been following her livejournal updates and I'm really happy for her that her wait is finally over and she can now cradle her little bundle of joy in her arms. :) However, I found her experience abit scary though. She was already in the hospital preparing for induction when her doctor noticed that her baby's heart rate had been dropping. Worried that the baby might be in distress, C-section was recommended (her doc gave her the choice of induction too) and thank goodness she chose C-section cos the baby's umbilical cord was wrapped around his shoulder, her amniotic fluid was low, etc... *shudders* I don't dare imagine what kinds of complications could have happened if she wasn't already in the hospital that day... I almost freaked out when I read her journal, but thank goodness her baby's condition had stabilized and hopefully both mother and child can return home in a couple of days. Anyway, baby Shawn looks really big and healthy from the pictures his mummy posted online :) And my friend looks radiant in the OT :) But then, almost every mother does, until they bring their baby home and starts feeding 24/7 of course... hahaha... even so, I'm sure every mother feels that it's worth it!!
