Dear Sumayya,
You were born on the 19th of May 2010. My water broke at about 5.30 am in the morning.Daddy drove me to Hospital Sultanah Bahiyah and you were born 12 hours later, at 5.15pm. Apart from the insane, out-of-this-world painful contractions, giving birth to you was a pretty enjoyable experience for me, mainly because I was drugged from the waist down. Daddy was there to hold my hand for a brief moment, seconds before you came out. Then he had to leave the room under the doctor's order, because I couldn't push hard enough they had to opt using the vacuum to get you out of mama's tummy.

The first time I saw you, I fell in love with you. You had skinny legs. And soft thick hair. And slanted eyes. They put you on my belly, and you were so tiny, weighing at only 2.98kg. I touched you and you were sticky. I swear you were the most beautiful newborn I know. You look so cute and adorable, like a newborn kitten. I love you sweet Sumayya.
