First family portrait!

It's FINALLY HERE! - August 6th 2012

at Mont Sinai admitting area...

It started on August 5th morning. 

When I noticed some blood discharge Joe and I wernt into Mont Sinai, thinking I'll be in labor very soon.

We also called my family; my parents and Tina came to the hospital as well.

However, we were sent home half an hour later... 

After being sent home from the hospital, Joe and I went for brunch at Broom.

We felt very relaxed; enojoying our breakfast and watching Olympic tennis final on TV at the restaurant.

It was Roger Federer vs Andy Murray!!

Little did we know, we'll be back to the hospital that night and soon in full labor!!

At the Labor and Delivery room waiting

By 8 o'clock in the evening, I started feel cramps... The cramps would come and go all night. 
Eventually by 2am (of August 6th), we decided to go into the hospital. 
the pain (contraction) was about 5 minutes apart at the time. 

The pain was intense as expected and I got my epidural not long after being admitted.

I felt good and really relaxed after epidural, then it's the wait.

I got fully dilated by  10 o'clock in the morning.

(July, 2012)- 37 weeks and counting!

Counting down days now....

At my last OB check up,

the doctor has stopped me from working until baby arrives.
