ZACHARY is ONE

I've been away for a short holiday since last Friday. I have many things to write, pictures to upload and download. But for the moment..all those have to wait. There is another pressing matter to be written here.

Ladies and Gentlemen, Friends and foes, Zachary is now officially a one-year old boy!! Yes he is last 7th June. I was away, so this is sort of a belated wish. Ibu loves you.

It feels like yesterday that I gave birth to this boy. (cliche huh?) Zachary, like all my kids, was an overdue boy. The thing is, he was overdue for a week, with no sign of coming out at all. No dilation, no show, no pain, no nothing. I had to agree with the doctor to have me induced, thus to induce the baby to come out.

I was induced sometime at 4:00p.m., and begin to feel the pain sometime at 5:00, but my cervics are not ready yet. The nurse kept asking me whether I wanted epidural. I felt like telling her to bugger off. I wanted full control of the whole process. Don’t be too surprise. If you know me, you will know that I am a serious control freak. That’s why I hate being induced. If you must know also, I am a sadist. Oh yes. I love pain. I sleep on a bed of nails.

At 7:30 in the evening, my dilation was at 5 cm. Full dilation, in case you are wondering is 10cm. At 8:05p.m. Zachary came out. In other words, my cervics took three and half hours to open up from 0-5 cm, it gained momentum and only half an hour to further open up from 5-10cm. My labour process always go frantic after 5cm. Even the baby works best at the last minute when pressure is mounting. Good children. I didn’t suffer much during labour..Alhamdullilah.

My lover considers Zachary a very special child. Not that the first two are not. They all are. But my lover was with me all throughout my confinement days (dia tak ada kerja dah masa ni. Ada blessing jugak kan?). Since my mum was not (and still is not) very strong..my lover assisted me in bathing the baby and all the hard work. All I need to is prepare myself to feed the child. Don’t you just love to watch macho man tenderly taking care of a wobbly little being? I find that very, very alluring. Those strong hand holding a vulnerable child. Just another side of the man I know.

Zachary, my little darling angel..you are lucky to be born and found yourself surrounded with a brother and a sister to boot. Who smothers you everyday. Parents who give you their undivided attention. Both grandparents on both sides. They all adore you. You are a lucky dude.

Zachary has a mixed of Haziq’s and Batrisyia looks. Best of both worlds. Making him even more special.

I pray that you will be a successful person, in both world, darling..both world.

Ibu loves you for one whole year and many more years to come.
