I have recently finished up a 2 month stint in the Neonatal Unit; a place where miracles happen everyday and is the one ward in the hospital where life usually trumps death.
I have stories but for now just a glimpse at a happy moment.
As part of the job I had to go up and facilitate the arrival of all the caesar babies, just make sure they come out crying and not too small. This photo was taken about 15 minutes after this little Poppit was born and she was mostly fine although a little bit small and a little bit early and we were giving her a bit of oxygen because her lungs were working just a little bit hard and it's mostly reflex to grab whatever you put in her hand but it was such a precious moment when she held onto the mask and kept it in place almost as if to say..."9 months underwater! Give me the good stuff!"
