What started as an uneventful day ended as the happiest day of our lives! Wei had an appointment at 10:15 AM for an ultrasound. The plan was to go to the ultrasound then after the appointment, we would go to the Comcast office to drop off some equipment then on the way home stop by the bank. The ultrasound appointment went well everything look good. But then the tech notice the amniotic fluid was low so she double check and confirmed the fluid was low. She told us that it was nothing to worry about and that Wei might need a couple of days bed rest but to be on the safe side we should go to the hospital. The tech conferred with the doctor and he advise us to go to the hospital. When got to the hospital we went to labor and delivery ward thinking Wei would have a check up and then be sent home. We waited for the about 40 minutes and thought that a doctor would check on Wei's condition. Then a nurse told us that Wei was to be admitted because of the low fluid and that labor would be induce. Our initial thought was this couldn't be happening; the baby was not due for another two weeks. There were so many things we needed to be finish. We kept telling our self this was suppose to be a normal day, we were not suppose have the baby so soon! Wei was place on a monitor and also given medication to induce labor. The medication started
to work quickly and wei began to feel labor pains. We passed the time talking trying to get Wei mind of the pain. By late afternoon, the labor pain for Wei was too intense so she request medication to numb the pain. This seems to work for a while. We watch the monitor to see when the contraction was coming to pass the time. By late evening the pain medication was no longer affective and the contraction were becoming more frequent and longer. At this point the nurse decided that it was time to give birth and the doctor was called in for the delivery. Labor was short and our baby was born. Like many new parents, we took lots of picture and also some video. We called our family to spread the good news. That night and following day we had many visitors coming to see our baby. After all the excitement and also some much need rest for Wei, we brought Noah Asher Thi home on August 13. So now begins the first day of the rest of our lives with our new baby boy. The easy part is now over, the hard part is raising our son, but we are hopeful and excited on the journey we about take. With Gods blessing and our families support, We think we will do fine.
