Jonathan Austin, its my son's name
He was born on Sunday, 26th of July 2015 at 3pm
It was the last day of Idul Fitri Holiday season
Little bit about the labor process,
I was having 2 nights of contraction
First night I almost didn't sleep
I cant sleep actually, as the pain is killing me
It keeps getting more frequent hour by hour, until the morning I almost couldn't resist anymore so we go to the hospital to do the check up,
but by the time I sit on the check up room, the contraction is like suddenly stop
and I didn't feel any pain anymore (maybe the baby is afraid of the nurse ) ^^
so the nurse sent me back home, and ask to come back on the evening
After that the pain didn't come back at all for the whole afternoon
until,
it came back again at night T.T
so here we go again, the pain started again
and this time its getting more and more and much pain than the night before
I really couldnt sleep at all, as I feel more pain if I lay back
I even vomit as I couldn't resist it, even I struggle to stand up by myself
It took me awhile to get clean up before we went to the hospital in the morning
Seriously, its really really hurt, from the back to the front
So, I finally reach the hospital around 10 and my parents already there, and straight to the check up room
Happy news is, its already on opening number 3 or 5
but the pain kept still, I couldnt help it so I ask the nurse to ask the doctor if I could do ILA ( bius )
so short story they inject me on my lower back, after that I didnt feel nothing at all
which was really soothing
they ask me to get some rest and have some food, while waiting for the full opening
I have around 2 hours rest , then around 2ish the doctor came and not long after that it all set out
Here come the baby,
I held him real close, I felt indescribably happy and amuse
They cleaned up the baby
and not long after that I feel a little bit high and dizzy
So that's the side effect of the ILA that kept me high till the next morning
I struggle to stand or even sit the next morning
The nurse gave the baby to me during the night, so my baby could try to milk
Short story, my breast milk didn't come out for about 3 days, so my baby didn't drink anything for that long
He even got to sleep back in the hospital on his day 6, as he got yellow
which really broke me to see him have to be light with the blue-ray
So that's the sum up of my first labor story
I take care of my baby by myself, with Mom's help
but without nanny
I almost didn't sleep for the whole first month
I have to milk my baby every 2 hours, and pumping for my Mom's night shift
It's really tiring, and my body feels really fragile and pain all over
but it keeps getting better by month,
as my body started to recover too
until Jo is 6 months old, he started his first solid food
I get a nanny to help me, as I couldn't manage to cook him and take care of him at the same time
He couldn't stay still, he start to roll over on the bed
He is quiet active and He is a chubby boy
He loves to eat during his first month of trying solid food
now,
I have to keep changing his menu so he won't get bored
sometimes it's hard to feed him
once, he doesn't want to eat anything for the day,
only fruit or snack
His favorite fruit is papaya and banana
from the first till now,
and He loves eating anything crunchy, like his biscuit
He can stay still if He's having his biscuit by his own
If I'm driving by myself especially,
I should have the biscuit with me to keep him stay still on the car seat.
He doesn't really like to be in a car seat though,
but He is a good boy if He know Mommy is driving alone (no nanny or other)
He is getting skinnier now than when He was little,
but I think He is getting taller lately,
during his 12 months He is growing fast.
Time does fly,
He is one years old now,
