Super Cute


So cute! Ethan is sucking well, sleeping lots, and seems quite aware of things around him. He is now 8 hours old and has had 3 feeds already.

Resting in Ward


We have moved into ward 42 bed 3 where Renata is recovering. As you can see the food is not as good as home pregnancy food from our earlier posts! Renata has a cough which hurts her abs so please pray for her throat recovery.

Peaceful Snoozing


All that pain was so worth it now looking at Ethan now 4 hours old. He had his second feed, is sucking and nursing well. We guess these are the cute moments that will sustain our sanity later on!

Ivan and Ethan


Ethan had a good feed and is now resting with proud daddy. The little one is very cute and has all the right equipment. We're resting now cos been up since 3am.

Safe and Sound


Ethan was born just after 7am and only 3 hours in the hospital. 2.63kg with full head of hair and eyebrows!

Thanks for your prayers and love. Request family visits only while in the hospital.

Born


Ethan's born in record time at 2.6kg.

Almost There


Suprisingly fast! Now fully dilated after only 3 hours. Only gas, too late for epi.

Ethan's CTG


Can you see Ethan's heart rate? Contractions are now 3 min but still only 1 cm. Looks like about 12 hours to go.

Labour Has Begun


We checked into NUH this morning around 4am. Contractions were at 6 min with increasing pain. Renata is very calm and is now comfortable.

Is it Time?

Lots of minor contractions today. After dinner they have getting closer but intensity is varying alot. We're actually below the 10 min interval but intensity is very low. NUH Hotline says to monitor for another hour or so. We're going to try to get some rest now... could it be tonight?
