The mothers love the fuzzy little hats – thanks to Claire and her team in Motueka and my mum.


The ladies in NZ at Rangiora knitting, the Salvos, and so many others who I am ashamed to say I don’t know all your names – your generosity and gorgeous gear you knit and infuse with stiches of love is truly humbling and the mothers are just delighted to have the wee ones dressed so well and in such gorgeous wee outfits – you have all knitted such beautiful gear – its impossible to photograph them all as we are so immensely busy with deliveries.

It’s hot here under the heater. 20-30 deliveries per shift or 80-100 per day

This little guy was so covered in meconium that we decided to dress him green ! he was embarrased by the photo – he had a rough delivery but did well. Tiny wee thing he was but looked so adorable in his little outfit. Because of his green-tinged skin and his little green suit, Chase nicknamed him, “The Hulk.”
