I was really in an awkward position then. We were in between hard place and a worse place. I lost my job few weeks before as the requirements for manpower were diminished, so was my job.

My Wife broke her water on Friday afternoon and after rushing her to the hospital, she was discharged on Monday lunchtime as nothing else happened. So we thought of going to the High Street getting the baby stuff all in order. Tia was not due for at least 6 weeks! Caught us by surprise. She was supposed to be a new year baby (So I thought). Tia Tia…impatient as it is.. makes her mom jump every now and then.

So, just as we were going to the bank to draw cash out.. mars contractions started..and she started bleeding. Oh No! Not this I thought! I suspected of miscarriage as I’ve seen this many times when I was an attending back in the A&E. What else to do but back to the hospital~

Poor Tia, No welcome blankie or what not for you dear. Have to make do with what the hospital provided and what was on sale at the SCBU (specially knitted stuff donated by others). Hey hang on..it’s just 2140hrs.. and the craps were getting worse. And I was getting jittery. I can’t do ANYTHING to help reduce the pain for my darling. Bad enough that she was asthmatic, but that causes the neurologist unable to do a epidural cos it’s hard enough for them to find a fix on her veins. 49Minutes and 3 doctors to poke and probe her hands to find that capillary. I don’t so many back in the army dayz.. that we do anything to get it done. Last resort, told the Anasthetic to do her foot. She NEEDS THE DRIP U IDIOT! And so it is.. the prick in the foot! Fast flow 20mins/L while they find the other veins. If it all fails then, I really thought of doing the vampire tap!

So …40mins to midnite.. the contractions were getting rapid. Laughing gas didn’t numb her at all. Push dear. Push..and so it is.. That cheeky girl had her head popped out few mins BEFORE MIDNITE but her cord was all tangled up on her neck! Ok dear. hang on.. I had to pull that cord away from her (just like she love to play with the usb cables now) and One LAST BIG PUSH….and it was all over. 0003. Darn! Can’t get that 2359 deadline huh?

So here she is… little tia!

To my dearest wife.. I’m sorry I yelled at you and snapped at you while you were delivering the baby.. I just can’t handle that I can’t help you. I’m so sorry.

I love you so much, and cos you know that too… you are behaving just like that small baby….

So what daddy will say to Tia Baby is… Tia..Press The Magic Button and [b]GO BACK TO SLEEP! [url=http://www.bbc.co.uk/cbeebies/balamory/josie/balamorykaraoke/karaoke_full.shtml]NO MORE BALAMORY![/url][/b] It’s 2AM already!
