Finally....Baby Siddiq!

After 36 weeks and 2 days of waiting for our baby, finally he is here! Our thanks to all our family, relatives and friends who gave us their greetings, congrats and support.
Last Saturday when we went to the clinic around 10am, the doctor did the scanning and ask if we are prepared to have the baby early. After doing the VA, he said that considering the weight of the baby is above 3kg and cervix is soft, there is a good chance of inducing. We decided then to do it. The doc placed the pitocin in the cervix and told us to wait for a few hours for the medication to take effect. We decided to go to the engagement ceremony at woodlands. We reached Woodlands Point at around 1230pm and decided to walk around while waiting for the my dad. But half an hour later, the contractions started to kick in. Not so painful at first but grew more and more intense. Around 145pm later, we called my dad that we are going to rush to the hospital. So from then on reaching Eastshore at around 215pm, the process of labour started until finally at 613pm, baby Siddiq sees the world for the first time much to the delight of the people around us especially our gynae Doctor Aziz who looked very tired by then. (I was his 3rd patient and he had number 4 in labour at the next ward.) Well, to make the story short, he was circumcised and we were discharged on Monday afternoon.

Here are the details and pics of baby Siddiq -
