Mervyn Hoe: My Daily Happenings

Wow! On 24th May 2017, our 4th baby was born! It's a new milestone in our family! The day when we have a new family member in our family!! We were so excited and amazed that we witnessed the whole birth process! The Estimated Due Date (EDD) was supposed to be 22nd May 2017. We waited and waited and was so blessed to have God to choose such a wonderful date for the birth of the baby. Wonder Woman: Eve's pregnant at 40 weeks! Happy picture of us! However, immediately after this picture, she had contractions! Schedules of the Contractions Early morning, Eve woke up with contractions and they were not the Braxton Hicks contractions. They were regular and quite immense. I noted down the first timing, which was around 8am. Here is the list of timings that I noted till birth! It was very owl of me.

Happy grandfather with the three grandchildren. I honestly find that when we grow old, the success-o-meter is being a grandparent. And being able to see your grandchildren! It's certainly priceless. Me and my three children. Kate followed me to squat! So funny. Picture of Eve before birth. She sat on the couch. Then, when contractions came, she will get up and I will support her. And she will go back again. This went on for 30 minutes! Baby Hoe on the heater machine The nurse measured and she is 51cm! Longer than Kate and Josh when born.

Wow! 9th of July . It is another milestone in our lives whereby our third child is born at 7.01am! This is really an amazing journey and God gives us this great gift! It's like finally we can get to see the one who made Eve hungry all night long, and making her eat like every 2 hours! And here she is! Her weight is 3.05kg ! Woohoo! 3.00 am  I was hungry and I wanted to eat banana cake at home. Then, Eve also woke up, and she felt that she wanted to pass motion. I ate halfway and she told me that she felt different. And the toilet bowl had blood! It's a sign of cervix opening. Hence, we rushed down to Mount Alvernia straight away! I quickly shoved and ate the remainder of my banana cake. Josh and Kate were still sleeping and we activated my father-in-law and he reached at 3.20am. We packed our stuff and took a cab down. 4.00 am We were in the delivery ward and Eve was 4 cm dilated. There were regular contractions. And at 6 am, she was 6 cm dilated. We nee...

Well, on 2nd July 2013 1.45am, we had a false alarm. Eve was vomitting badly and we decided to bring her to the hospital. We called for ambulance and they brought us to KK Hospital. Guess what? We are so shocked when the doctor found out that she was 3cm dilated! Which means she is giving birth! Wow. However the strange thing is that there was not a single sign of contraction. We decided to go to Mount Alvenia Hospital, because we have already decided on this hospital to give birth. Hence, at 2.30am, we went to the delivery suite. Look at the peak readings. It shows contraction readings. However Eve didn't really feel much at all. Then at 2.45am, the contractions came regularly at 4 minutes interval and we were so ready for the delivery. They were consistently 4 minutes contractions. Strangely, at 3am onwards, there was no more signs. We waited and the nurse came to check. She is only 1cm dilated. Everything was fine and normal, and we decided to go back h...
