24 April 2011 Announcing Elliot Pasaka, Our Easter Surprise

Elliot Pasaka (Swahili for Easter) came 4 weeks early at 8:48 am Easter morning.He weighs 3040g/6lbs 11.5oz and is 48cm long.

He's gorgeous and doesn't look premature but has been on oxygen for rapid breathing, a sugar drip for low sugar levels, and antibiotics after a chest x-ray showed shadows which could be an infection. He's expected to stay in the hospital for 1 week and may come off the oxygen as early as the morning, at which point I can start breastfeeding him. It's so strange giving birth, especially so much earlier than expected, and then giving the baby away. At least I'm catching up on my sleep.

As i've said in our BB group, CONGRATS !!!! i'm SOOOOOOoooooo excited for you hunny, well done with the birth and hope you get your snuggles soon xx

Huge congrats to you and your family, welcome earth side Elliot. Hope everything goes well x
