You are 2 years old today.
Mummy wants you to know that I love you so much and would like to share my joy of having you so that when you are all grown up you will know that these memories mean so much to me. It means much more than all the money in the world, sayang.
I have always wanted to be a mommy since I was a little girl and you Ayleia is the perfect little girl that I always imagine of having and could ever wish for. I pray that you will be a solehah and respected lady and a successful person here and also the hereafter. Amin.
When I got married to your daddy, we wanted to have you immediately, but life is not always as we expected it to be, we had to try for a few years and later sought assistance from the expert to fulfill our wish to become parents. Alhamdulillah when we met the 6th gynaecologist, he gave us some encouraging words (and some medications and treatments too... hehe) and I eventually got pregnant with you...
Being pregnant is a very magical experience. The experience of making a baby inside of you is an indescribable experience, in fact it is the best experience in my whole existence. Nonetheless, eventhough I enjoyed most part of it, it is not always a bed of roses... The first 3 months of my pregnancy, I got hit with pregnancy allergies, morning (all day, actually) sickness and everything that comes with it. I was hospitalised for a week during the 9-10th weeks of my pregnancy with you. All I can think and wish for is you growing healthily inside my womb and was eventually relieved to hear that all of these allergies are signs of you developing well. Amin. One day, I pray that you will find that special someone whom you would want to spend the rest of your life with, get married, have a baby/babies and live happily ever after. I also pray that I am still around to enjoy being with you and my grandchildren when that time comes. Insya allah.
One day before you were born, I was still working despite feeling uncomfortable. I thought that this is normal as from my reading, it is very common for a 3rd trimester pregnant mother to experience the feeling of general uncomfortableness as you have grown full term and there is not much space for you to move around. And yes, you were such a little acrobatic performer inside of me! As usual, after work, your daddy and I will stop over for dinner and walk around in the shopping mall (my kind of exercise hehe) before we went home. We reached home quite late and just when I have made myself comfortable on our bed (yes, the one that you are sharing with us now), your daddy insisted that we sleep over at your grandparents house in Damansara Utama so that we can go to the hospital easily. I was a bit reluctant at first because I was so tired but luckily followed your daddy's instinct (phew!).
The next morning around 7ish, when I was about to get up to get ready to go to work, I felt that my water broke. Eventhough that was my first experience, I know that this is it, as the discharge was clear as described in all of the pregnancy books and websites that I have read.
Despite my water has broken, I didn't feel any contraction yet which make me take my own sweet time to get ready, blow my hair, stop by for a nasi lemak with your daddy before we finally go to the maternity ward to have you. We reached the hospital around 8 ish close to 9 am. At that time the nurse said that it is still a long way to go as the opening is only 1 cm and she targeted your arrival should be in the evening or night that day. Since I was not having contraction and did not feel any pain, I was asked to walk to the delivery room myself. I need to be in the delivery room just because they need to monitor my development.
Around 10 ish, they were asking me whether I wanted the epidural or not and needed a decision immediately before it is too late. I have decided to take it then because my gynaecologist said that I was tensed and had highly advised for me to take it. At that point of time, I still do not feel all the dramatic contractions/pain that was shown on TV. A few minutes later the anaesthetist came and administer the epidural on me. That is when the contraction pain decided to kick in, full force! By the time the anesthetist is done with his work, the opening is already 10cm and you are ready for your grand entrance! You were born on 15.3.2011 at 11:45 am and made your entrance with your dramatic cries, I remembered how much you weigh but we girls do not talk about our weight ya. Those were the best cries I've ever heard! You had started your loud cry even before you were fully out! (well, you are a bit of a drama queen, haha... but we ladies have to have the right attitude and must always maintain our composure and to have class! Always remember that!).
Happy Birthday baby girl... The story do not ends here but know that Mummy will write more letters for you in the future when time permits...
I love you so much.
xoxo
