6 Year Ago....

We didn't want the 2nd baby at first because Ha was not an easy baby at all...he didn't like to eat, didn't like milk, didn't like to sleep but liked to cry and was very energitic. However, on the date of his one-year-old birthday, he started sleeping overnight, and after he started walking when he's 14 months old, he started eating better. Our life was much easier, so we thought about having a second child, and very soon, we had the good news again.

1/31/04, we had Ha's 2nd birthday party at my parents' house because he would be two years old in few days. Hee's due date was 2/11, so actually, I hadn't really started prepared for baby items.

On Monday, 2/2, I somehow had a feeling to get things ready, so I washed all the bottles, took out the breast pump, and cleaned the kitchen.

On 2/3, we made an appointment for Ha to get his 2nd year checkup, and in the same hospital, I had a routine pregnancy check up. When I saw the doctor, she said that mine had opened 5 cm, and I needed to go to labor and delivery as soon as possible. Wow, what a surprise, I didn't even feel a thing! We rushed to send Ha home and called my parents to be with him and then rushed back to the hospital (Real Camino Hospital). After we checked in with the L&D, I was still a happy lady, laughing and joking and without any pain. We waited and waited but nothing happened, so the nurse sent us for a walking. We walked for almost an hour, and finally, I felt it coming. Unlike giving birth to Ha, this time, I didn't bring CD and CD player because we were rushing out, so what could I do with the pain? I read Psalm 23 in my heart many times, and it helped a lot. In 30 minutes, 4:01pm, Hee was here in the world.
