We welcomed Bryce Jaden to the real world. Yes, yes it's true! My dear friend Jade already gave birth. I went to the lying in clinic around 8PM. Thinking that it maybe a false alarm again, I wasn't really that worried that much. But when I got inside her room, she was in real pain. I stayed beside her all night. I was holding her hand and I could feel she was terribly gripping it when her tummy is contracting. When she couldn't hold it anymore.. the midwife already decided to bring her inside the delivery room. I didn't go inside because i was nervous like everyone else. I could feel the tension in the air. And it is my first time to encounter this kind of situation. A real woman giving birth. I thought I could only see it in movies but then it happened...


After several pushes, the baby went out. But.. the baby didn't cry. We were in shock and everyone started crying because the baby supposes to cry but then he didn't. We thought he might be dead or... I don't know. I was clueless... blank... The midwife had to pump his mouth to give him oxygen, and put two tiny hose inside his nostrils and they did something more... after 10 minutes or less, the baby cried.. at last. Thank you Lord.


It was a very memorable experience for me. Seeing a woman giving birth in actual, especially that it is my friend. My baby weighed 2.5kg, that is around 5.5lbs. He has chubby cheeks, chinky eyes, fair skin, and black hair. Cute, indeed. I hope he'll be a good kid someday. I can't wait to see inaanak again!
