Morgan's Arrival

Morgan was overdue, and Huw and Joelle saw the doctor today. When I rang Margaret to tell her where I was, I learned that Joelle and Huw were staying at the hospital and that Morgan would be born any time. I was then told to proceed to the Mount Elizabeth Hospital near Orchard Road MRT to meet Margaret. The MEH is a very modern and well appointed institution and a leading Singapore private hospital. Despite the comfortable seats it was a long wait. Huw was not allowed to use his mobile phone in the delivery unit, and at 20.30 there was still no news. We then decided to go home and wait for a phone call. Huw called at about 22.00 to tell us that Morgan had arrived at around 21.30 after five pushes, and that we now had a beautiful little grandson weighing 3.3 kg. It was a great relief that all had gone smoothly and that Joelle and Morgan were both fine. We shared Huw’s delight and were told that we should plan to be at the hospital at about midday the following day.
