Bobo's Birth

Little Bobo seemed to know how to choose the perfect time to be born.  He chose to wait for Grandma to arrived from Jakarta, so that there won't be chaos in getting to the hospital, with the worse case scenario of Mami tagging 2 kids along to the hospital labour ward and Daddy rushing home from work by an hour's train.

Bobo chose to wait for Daddy to start his parental leave, just right before the weekend, so that Daddy's work is not disrupted.

Bobo chose to be born on the days just prior to Big Brother's annual Easter Parade, so that Mami can get discharged from the hospital in time to watch the big brothers perform.

And Bobo chose to be born as quickly as possible too, to minimize discomfort for Mami.  Yet another inducted birth.  With each baby, the birthing process gets shorter and shorter (3.5 hours to 90 minutes to merely 24 minutes this time!?) and more intense each time.

"Women like you whose body can't produce its own natural Syntocin generally have overdue babies past 42 weeks and have a labour of 2 days." My obstetrician told me as a matter of factly.  Thank God for the invention of modern medicine like the Syntocinon, otherwise I would have been eliminated from the evolution chain long ago.
