And the journey begins..

Azzee, the lil girl. Was a lil girl before Dany came into the picture. Before Dany, most of her friends think she’s crazy. She would go on crash diets, choosing carefully of what to eat- counting calories.. and looking back, she kinda agrees too that she was a bit too much then. Maybe that’s why when she found out that she was pregnant- she ate with a vengeance.

It was like a Food Fiesta throughout the pregnancy. First few months was of course.. was like warming up to the occasion. The morning sickness during the initial stage was quite bad. She did not put on that much of weight then, only when the nausea disappear the weighing scale got a shock of its life! 20 over kgs- From 43 kg to almost 70 kg. Only when she looked back at the pictures she realised how hideous she looked! The due date was on the 5th of February 2006. She took time out from the office much earlier from that hoping that the date would be close with the allowance of few days earlier or later. Two days after the due date, still nothing. No signs..nothing.

She could still go for a last minute shopping. The doctor told her that she could wait for maximum of ten days after or she could just walk in any day. But of course. Those hours of reading really convinced her that she wants the au naturel way. She decided to wait. Everyone was looking forward to it. The parents, the siblings… first grandson. What do you think?

On the tenth day- she went to Putrajaya Hospital. Why Putrajaya, because they allow the husband to be in the labour room. And also the fact if she went to a private hospital, if caesarean needed to be the price is too much to handle. Anyway, she had been to Putrajaya before and she fell in love instantly. But it was not an easy decision, not after hearing a Putrajaya on National news. Being a typical Virgo, worrying is one of Azzee’s pastime. Especially during the pregnancy- it affected her so much that she would sometimes had weird dreams about her unborn baby.

Ok, back to the tenth day. Walked in to the hospital. It was more like checking in to a hotel. That was on the Valentine’s Day and she thought the doctors would get the baby out the same day.. lil did she know the procedure is to wait until the next morning to start the first induce. At almost six, the pain came- unbearably. Which was after the second time being induced. She was then sent to the labour room. Then the doctor told her that the heartbeat was getting weaker and asking her, a woman, who definitely had low pain endurance to wait or to do caesarean was just stupid. Because the answer would definitely be, ‘I want the caesarean now!’


Her father decided to wait instead. At first he wanted to leave for work but this is the first operation ever in the family so I guess everyone was nervous. Except of course Azzee. She was screaming for anaesthetic the minute she got in the operating theatre. So they waited.


2020 hours. A healthy baby boy was born ..actually was pulled out from his mommy’s big swollen tummy. He was the fairest baby ever. A definite happy moment for everyone.


* That night returning home from the hospital, the father, Lela, Umi, Syairah (the sisters) and Aqilah (cousin) was involved in an accident. Ayah was admitted with minor injuries.
