00:00She's been quite the angel, and she's going to be a good sleeper considering she can sleep
00:08through all of this, so yes, everything went so amazing.
00:14Yeah, hopefully a sign of good sleeping nights to come.
00:21Now you guys were always planning on a home birth, but I can't imagine that giving birth
00:25in a cyclone was really factored into the plan, was it?
00:30No, it definitely made things interesting.
00:36I was quite oblivious to it all, but my husband, I think, was worried about our midwife getting
00:42out of the town where she's from and getting here safely and it all going to plan.
00:50But yeah, it all worked out really, really well, and she arrived with no issues, so we've
00:56just got to stay at home in this snuggly weather.
00:59Absolutely incredible.
01:01Now, there has been, of course, this sort of lead up to this storm hitting.
01:07At what point did you guys realise that she might arrive during the storm and you might
01:12have some of those issues of midwives getting to you?
01:17Yeah, well, we actually were 42 weeks and one day, so we were very aware that she might
01:26come through this cyclone, so we nicknamed her Baby Alfie and said that it'll probably
01:32take a cyclone for her to make her grand entrance.
01:35So we were ready, but yeah, we had her when the weather was at its worst, for sure.
01:41Yeah, did you have any idea of what was going on outside while you were in labour?
01:47I had no idea.
01:49I said it wasn't that bad, and then my mum and dad...
01:52Yeah, she didn't have much of a clue what was going on outside of these doors.
01:57We were quite aware, and yeah, it all worked out well.
02:02Thank you so much for chatting to us this morning, guys.
02:05Congratulations and all the best.
