Chronicles of Fatherhood - The Prequel

15 May 2015

Noon - bought lunch back for my wife. She's complaining about pain in her tummy area and coming quite frequently. Judging by her usual low pain threshold, this seems very slight. Should not be a contraction.

Evening - after work, I met up with my wife at our new house where she had spent the day overseeing some deliveries. She's still complaining about the pain and she's timing the intervals. 

Dinner - she still held on through the pain and it still seemed bearable but the frequency is quite consistent. 

After dinner - sms the gynae about the situation. Gynae said it's likely to be contractions and sounds like labour. I still feel skeptical. 

9+ - went home and gathered the stuff and went over to the hospital to check it out. Still wondering if it's just false contractions.

10+ - hospital staff checking on baby's vitals. Finally sunk into my mind that this could be it!!!

11pm - hospital staff told me to go ahead with the check-in procedures. This is it!!!!! So much running thru my mind. Confinement nanny, Reno works, electrical works, etc. bills!!! 

16 May 2015, Midnite - epidural administered to reduce pain from the contractions. Dilation still ongoing.

2am - wife able to rest but I'm having a butterfly enclosure in my tummy. Not sure if it's the food from dinner or anxiety.
