Well well.. thought no one was reading my blog so i was lazy in updating it. but! there's a new reason to update my blog everyday until i go back to work. My son Ethan Jin Park has arrived on 12/30/05 3:04pm. He was 7 lbs even and 19 3/4 inches long (or should i say tall ^^).
i wasn't able to go to sleep until 3:30am on 12/30/05. now that i think back, i think my contraction might've started early evening on 12/29/05 but it didn't hurt. i just felt my stomach tightening every now and then but didn't think much because i thought contractions were suppose to hurt. and it did hurt like @#$%! after my water broke at around 4:30am on 12/30/05. we arrived at the hospital just before 5am. i found out that i was already 5cm dilated. at 9am or so i was 8cm dilated and i opted for epidural as the pain was getting unbareable for the amount of rest i got (merely 1 hour of sleep) before the pain started. what a instant satisfaction for pain relief that was! i was able to take a nap for about 3 hours or so before the contraction built up. i was huffing and puffing by 2pm and an hour later it was all over. it wasn't as bad as all the horror stories i heard from my coworkers. i think i can do this again just one more time so Ethan has a playmate but no more after 2 ever!
