Welcome mei mei!

Mei mei decided to make an early entry on 11 Jun 2014 - like her brother before her, she was impatient to come out and meet papa and mama. 

On the evening of 10 Jun, Dear dear started to feel slight cramps in her lower back. They didn't go away unlike the earlier ones and by later that evening, Dear dear and Dearie do were genuinely getting concerned. 

At 2am, we got the grandparents out of bed and they came over. Dearie do then rushed Dear dear to TMC. We realized after a check that contractions were coming about 3-4 minutes apart and Dear dear was already 3cm dilated. It seemed that Mei mei was most definitely coming that morning. 

After a quick conversation with Dr Sim, we decided to proceed with a c sec. Since mei mei was already 36 weeks and 2 days, Dr felt that it was fairly safe to deliver rather than to try to delay labour. Turns out that it was a good call because after the c sec, they realized that Dear Dear had slight placenta abruption and had it been worse, it would have endangered mei mei or Dear dear. 

This time round, Dearie do and Dear dear remembered to take a nice photo. :)
