amysarah it was at the Elandra Resort in Mission Beach in far north Qld.... we were on holidays up there a couple of weeks ago
thanks so much to all of you for reading!
Well done and congratulations Pixie, you did an awesome job. So did The Bear too. Beth is just beautiful!
Hey, I can't believe you were in Mission Beach not long ago (I thought I recognised the beach from some of the piccies). Did you come in via Cairns, or Townsville?
Suse - We came up via Cairns and back via Townsville, Pixie's brother lives in Bingil Bay so we will be up again...we will give you a yell next time, this was a short, rushed trip.
Cass - She's wonderful now, as for what caused the problem I don't think it was anything specific, the last moments of the labour were fairly intense and I think the poor little mite just got a bit beaten up in the process...her 1 min Apgar score was only 3, and 2 of those points came from having a great heart rate. Once she had been bagged with oxygen she turned a nice shade of pink which pushed her score up to 5 but didn't really try to breath without assistance for quite some time - nearly 30 minutes!
I remember standing at the resus station with the paeds and trying to reassure thePixie that all was going to be ok whilst I was becoming more and more worried that it might not be. It didn't help that the two paeds were clearly getting a little stressed about her condition and the batteries on the portable equipment were giving up as they had been running for so long. Not the easiest introduction to being a parent for either of us.
