In 1998, Dylan Ashish Fernandes was born at Mayday Hospital, Croydon.
I was relieved when they said he's out, live and kicking! Then I knew it
was a beginning of a new life for Alwyn and I!!!!!!
You can't imagine what it's like - to have something that you've
created
and it's yours to keep forever!!!
It was beautiful and words
can't explain the rest.....

With my Tens Machine
|
On Friday 19th, the contractions began
but I put up with the pain as Alwyn was at work.
The following day I desperately fiddled
with my Tens Machine for some
relieve of pain!!!!!!
What nonsense that was - it didn't do anything for me!
That's it, can't take any more - we decide to go to the hospital where
they decided to keep me in for monitoring.

Sunday 21st June - Mayday Hospital
|
The whole of Saturday was awful and I felt lonely as Alwyn was sent
home.
The excruciating pain is inexpressible to anyone, especially to
MEN!!!!
At midnight they whizzed me into the Labour ward and urgently tried
to
contact Alwyn!!!!!
Of course he's fast asleep and no-one hears the phone ring at home!!!
Eventually, at 4am, the nurse phoned Raj, our friend living nearby, who
went over and
woke him up!
|
The gas and air system is awful
|
First photo of Dylan - all wrapped up!
|
Alwyn dashed to the hospital in time!
Finally Dylan was born on Sunday at 3.40pm. I was exhausted as expected,
but the nurses laughed at Alwyn because he looked more shattered
than me!
When Dylan was
handed over to us, my first reaction was that this cannot be my
baby!! He was gorgeous
but very
fair skinned - not brown!!
He also looked a little ugly too, with so much
hair!
|
But he was ours and we enjoyed
cuddling the bundle!
Dylan was very drowsy but they bathed him very carefully and he smelt
very nice like a baby should.
After my bath I was wheeled onto the
ward where we could spend time
together as a family
|
Being weighed before his first bath
|
Back in the ward
|
He looks a bit grumpy here!
|
The proud mummy....
|
....and the proud daddy!
|
|
In the ward, we took few more pictures of
Dylan with mummy and daddy.
Doesn't Alwyn look more tired and rough than me?
