Today is my 36th birthday. Hong remembered my birthday and left a sms with Joe. Every year I would call mum on my birthday and asked her to join me for a meal. Actually mothers bring babies to this world with lots of sacrifices. A mother had to suffer 9 months of pregnancy which she has no figure or looks. Being pregnant is a beautiful time for me as I don't really have to bother about my figure. The time to give birth is a terrifying experience. The first time I gave birth to my baby No 1 Charlynn, I was really ignorant. The pain was so intense that it really like someone cutting me into 2 halves. I was told not to take painkiller and I really listened to my mum. After 13 hours of labour, enough is enough and I took the epidural. Chralynn was not born 5 hours later. Total labour time 18 hours. The last pregnancy I was admitted at 12am and only gave birth at 1533pm. Total time was 15 hours of labour. Luckily for me, I had my epidural jab at 4am. I really felt very painful and I was trembling all over. Low threshold of pain and the nurse was also alarmed that I was shaking with pain. God! Mothers are magical creatures. Without them, there will be no future generations.
The other day I was telling Joe that if I happened to be pregnant again ( if accident happens), I would give up my baby for adoption. He looked really disturbed. Well! Rather than having the baby to suffer with us, I would give him or her up to a family that wants a baby. Actually having four kids is still quite comfortable in terms of our finances but with one more coming, I wonder what the outcome will be. This world is not kind to families with many kids. Going to friends' house for Chinese New year is really embarrassing for me as they have to give more as I have more kids.
Anyway Happy birthday to myself and I just want myself to be healthy and my kids to grow up to be sensible adults.
