Announcing the arrival of...

... my little niece, Guo Yue Ling 郭悦翎, on the 11 February 2007, born to her very very brave, strong and amazing mother after 6 days of labour.

I am so proud of you both!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you for allowing me to share this groundshaking and lifechanging experience with your family, I will never be the same again, and my respect for you has gone up a few more notches.

Photos later, when I can get my digicam to work. Meantime I am still trying to catch up on my beauty sleep after spending so much time at the hospital, and also I have gone, very much under the weather, so to speak. Looks like there's to be no singing for the next few days again, and so soon after the last bout too! I was going to start bellowing all the parenting pop songs. Aiyah!

Labour for 28 hours

And still going strong! Not me lah.

I was pretty excited at first that we were finally entering labourland, but after more than 12 hours of stop-start-stop-start, I think everyone's just trying to get some rest now and waiting for things to progress to a point where we can move into action.

Baby YL, when are you going to come out? Your 二姨 is getting quite impatient leh! But your mommy is amazing... the way she copes with her contractions and getting rest inbetween. This is an eye-opener I'll never forget.

And now 二姨 is going to bed in case your mommy calls me at 3am to go to the hospital.
