When Annika was born it took the nurses a while to get her to start breathing. Not only did she have the cord wrapped around her neck twice, but she swallowed some amniotic fluid. In the video it shows them suctioning the fluid out of her mouth with a tube, but they also had to stick the tube down her throat to get the fluid all out. That's why her cry was so gurgly. I felt so helpless watching from the other table and it felt like forever til I got to hear her first cry.

Man Ange, that's so scary! I was like holding my breath and I knew how it turned out. :P Such a cute cry though, when it finally came.
Oh wow! I'd be crying too if they were doing stuff like that to me! Sheish. That made ME cry. Poor little thing, I bet you were so scared!!
