Josiah Loh s/o Connel & Vanessa
It all started on 11th Oct 2006 when we paid a weekly visit to our gynaecologist, Dr Poon. He said that Josiah's might be a little to big for Vanessa's pelvic and his umbilical cord was near his neck region. He suggested an induced labour and so we chose the ultimate date, 14th Oct 2006.
Throughout the pregnancy, both of us prayed hard daily for a Supernatural Childbirth, a book which we read ever since we experienced a miscarriage last Oct. The experience was really hard for both of us to accept because of the heartache and pain. It was really God's love which overcame all pain, disappointment, guilt and many factors which the devil was drilling into our minds. During the period of time, I recalled having a dream where I received a present and upon unwrapping it, there was a baby inside. One of my friends said that it could be God's answer to our prayers. Indeed He answers our prayers according to His will and when we are praying, He hears.
Well, here we are now enjoying our life with our little bundle of joy, Josiah Loh. Born on 14th Oct 2006, weight at 3.3kg and time was 2241 hours. It started at 0830, Vanessa was wheeled into the delivery suite at Mount Alvernia Hospital to be induced. The machine that was attached to her showed that there were slight contractions before any induction, thank God. Nonetheless, she was induced via a tablet and was put on drip at about 1600 when her cervix dilated a little after that many number of hours. She started feeling the contractions and was in pain. I was present by her side allowing my hand to be her stress reliever and at the same time, I was watching the Man U vs Wigan match. So exciting for both affairs but of course, more excited to see our son. It was until 2145 hours that Dr Poon came in and confirmed that Vanessa had to go through a Caesarean section to get Josiah out.
Whilst in the operating theatre, I was so excited when I saw the doctor opening up her womb with all the gadgets. Thought to myself that I could only see this on TV but there I was, witnessing the whole event 'LIVE'. When the doctor said that Josiah was about to be seen, I saw his head and out came his body. I was so touched to see God's creation that I just held Vanessa's hand and cried. I kept calling out his name as he attended to by one of the nurse. I cried upon seeing my parents as well as I was so happy and I knew that was the next most happy thing besides my marriage.
Enough said, look at the picture of Josiah Loh.
