The long wait is finally over..............

The clock struck 0548hrs or 5.48am on March 17th 2007. An early Saturday morning in Birth Room 5 at Thomson Medical Centre. Esther made her long awaited arrival weighing 3.160kg or 6.952 pounds, length at 50cm and head circumference at 34cm. Mother and child are doing fine. As they will only be discharged on Monday for observation purposes, this is a very short post. I am staying over at the hospital to accompany them but managed to make a quick trip back home to deposit some stuff. Thanks to all our friends, family members who blessed us with their little gifts.

Keep a lookout for subsequent posts as photos of Baby Esther will be posted. Hence forth, pregnancy has ended and parenthood begins. The former lasts 40 weeks but the latter lasts a life time.
