Rooming In -Tale of a new mom 5





After a few hours of giving birth I came to as the nurses were wheeling me (or about to) to my room. They told me that they’re gonna bring me to my room now. I just nodded feeling quite dizzy still.

My mama was waiting inside the room when I was brought back. With her was my aunt helen. I was asked to lift my bottoms again so they can transfer me to the bed. How can they ask me to do that! After all that pushing I did, can’t they just lift me up and transfer me? haaay…

I knew it was still before 8:30, the tv showed it was still the morning show of ABS-CBN. So it wasn’t that long after I gave birth yet.

All of a sudden there were nurses around me. I have a student nurse, again. Some instructions were given and then I am left alone. Mind you, vital signs were taken every 15 minutes. And when you are super tired, it felt like they were so annoying… But I had to be patient… My sister is doing something like this…I don’t want her to suffer if I give the student nurse a hard time…

I must have dozed off, the next time I opened my eyes, they were wheeling in my baby. All cleaned up and dressed up like a babe! I haven’t seen a more adorable baby than my Andie… She looked so sweet. So innocent, with her very very black hair (and lots of it!), red lips, and very pink complexion! She looks like her father! In fact, she is the very image of her father, just a feminine version…
