Adriana is my little baby. She is my opps baby. After Azrai, I decided not to have any more baby, but I guess God have other plan for me. When I found out that I was pregnant, I was so shocked. I told DM(the same gynea when I was pregant with Azrai) that I was on pills and that's 99% to prevent pregnancy, then he said well the power of the 1% is much greater than the 99%. Which is soo true.

With this pregnancy, I was not in any pressured, I don't mind about the sex of the baby. But I was really in denial about this pregnancy. I kept asking myself, how could this happened?? I was careful and Azrai still a baby and it's not healthy for him to have a sister when he is still young. All of this dissapeared when the first time I saw Adriana's scan. I fell in love with her.

At about my first trimester, which is about 3 months-I was bleeding. It happened on Hari Raya Haji, we were traveling from our house to my grandmom's place in Muar(which is about 2 hours drive from KL). I felt something funny but I assumed that because I was so tired the day before-looking after Azrai. When we arrived at my grandmom's place, when I got down from the car, my auntie was screaming-"You're bleeding". Only then I looked at the car seat, I was so shocked and scared, it was soaked with blood!!!! I really did not know what to do, all the clinics are closed for the holiday. Amli tried to call DM, but he switched off his mobile. Nothing that we can do except praying and hoping for the best.

Once back in KL, the first thing that we did was went and see DM. Told him what happened, and according to him it doesn't sound so good but to be sure he will do a scan to find out the condition of my baby. I was so scared, but I put on a brave look.

The moment, DM put the scan on my tummy, and looked at the monitor, and then said"the baby is stil there, look" I was so relieved. Only the I have the courage to looked at the monitor- and saw my baby. I was so happy but that did not last for long. DM told us that it's still 50/50 chances, and I have to be extra careful with my pregnancy. He put me on medication, and gave me 2 weeks MC. I asked him, what caused the bleeding and when will it stops? He was saying that this is what they called "internal hemotoma"(or something like that), and it caused by the bleeding from the placenta, and there will always be a chance for miscarriage. I was so scared. I do not want to lose this baby, eventhough at the beginning I was in denial about her existance.

I was having constant bleeding until I reached 6 months of pregnancy. After that everything went ok. My EDD with Adriana is on 11/08/2004. My sister was bugging me for 08/08/2004(because she was born on 08/08). Still remember the day when Adriana was born. Usually we went back to Kajang over the weekends, and that week was not exceptional. We went back to Kajang after I finished work at 6.45pm on Saturday. We had our dinner at Kajang, then watched Akedemi Fantasia 2, this is when Zarina was voted out.

Around 5 o'clock in the morning, I felt a pain, and after 2 pregnancy I knew that it was a contraction, but I thought it would be a false alarm, I woke Amli up, and told him about the pain. He asked me do I want to go to the hospital. I told him, that I think it's a false alarm and that I wanted to wait first. But then the pain became more intense, at 7.00 in the morning, the contraction was 10 minutes apart. This time, Amli insisted that we went to the hospital, so I took the shower and gave Tasya & Azrai their breakfast. At 8.00, we off to the hospital. Amli called my parents and asked them to wait for us at the hospital. At this time, the contraction was 5 minutes apart.

Arrived at APSH, went to the A&E department, since it was Sunday and DM's clinic is not open on Sunday. The staff there send me immediately to the labour room. We have to wait for DM, then he arrived at about 9 something, he checked me and to my surprised, I was 8cm dilated. DM told me, no time to waste,the baby is about to be delivered. I was so shocked. At about 10 in the morning, Adriana was born.

It is very eacy to take care of Adriana. She is so quite, and she always play by herself, probably because she is still small to play with Tasya & Azrai. But she also being bullied by Azrai most of the times. Azrai will punch her, pull her hair, step on her. Pity her and we cannot leave the two of them alone. But she is a survivor-she survive when she was still in my womb, and she survive Azrai. To me she is always the rock that I rely on. I love her.
