~ Welcome to the World, Little One!! ~
8:26:00 pm
It's gonna be a very happy entry!!
Introducing... Little Baby
Haris!! Okay, I'm not sure if this is the correct spelling but I will check with the Mummy in time... *Hehe*...
Anyway, Baby Haris was born on 24/8/2006 @ 1256 hrs... Was really happy and excited when I received the phone call from the babe's Mummy about 1 hour after the delivery to announce his birth...
Couldn't contain my excitement that I visited both baby and mummy on the day itself, right after my AM shift, even though I had arranged to meet my special someone... Well, not that I 'pushed' him away but in fact, I actually brought him along to see the little babe...
My first instant reaction upon seeing Baby Haris was that, he was SO TINY!! Especially when he only weighs at 2.75kg... But then I guess, all newborns are tiny...
Baby Haris just looked SO angelic and really adorable... Wanted to carry him but seeing him being so fragile and all, (he was only about 4 hours old when we visited them), I kept refusing to carry Baby Haris due to the fear that I would injure him or something... Not that I have never carried a newborn infant before but it had been a really long time since I last carried one, which during my last O&G posting which was way back in January 2004!!
But after much persuasion and coaxing from Baby Haris' Mummy and my special someone, I finally carried him... And at the same instant, I 'fell' in love with the little one... Even told his Mummy that I wanted to take him home... *Haha*... And I really liked the feeling of carrying Baby Haris... So much so that I am still having that nice feeling until now... Well, just don't ask me why...
The funny but memorable part about Baby Haris is that when someone touches his head, he would bring his head closer to his neck, just like when someone touches your neck and you feel ticklish about it... Yup, that kind of reaction... Happened a few times when his Mummy and my special someone touches him on the head... Very cute!!
And he just refuses to open his eyes no matter how I coaxed him to... *Hehe*...
Anyway, his poor Mummy Nadhrah, who is my friend, my so-called 'sister' (due to our similar names) and closest colleague in the ward, had to endure a 12-hour labour... And she told me that the nurses in the delivery suite actually mistook Baby Haris for a girl!! *Poor Haris*... So much so that they wrapped him up in a pink blanket only to be realised by Baby Haris' Daddy on why he is in pink when Baby Haris is actually a boy... *Haha*...
And oh! Guess what?? Both me and my special someone was Baby Haris' very first visitors... *Haha*... One fact that I will not forget!!
Anyway, I was so excited about seeing Baby Haris that I went around in the ward, showing everyone his pictures in my handphone... *Hehe*...
Can't wait to see Baby Haris again!! Well, most probably next week but this time round, with my other colleagues as well...
Baby Haris in my arms... Such an adorable baby...
