Mix 106.3's Kristen Davidson and husband Iain welcome their adorable little boy Hugo Fox

Little Hugo made his entrance into the world a week ago, in what turned out to be a bit of an eventful birth at the John James Hospital in Canberra.

Kristen, the popular co-host of MIX 106.3 breakfast, was induced last Tuesday and then had an emergency caesarean.

Hugo arrived at 2.43pm on Wednesday, August 19, weighing 3.3 kilograms and entrancing his besotted parents. Well, Kristen a little more so once the drugs wore off, as she was "hit for six" recovering over the following 24 to 36 hours.

"I don't think there's ever an easy way to give birth," Kristen said.

"My obstetrician was [Dr] Sarah Broderick, she was incredible. And she did say usually women pick one - either natural or an epidural or a caesarean - but because maybe I'm a high achiever, I chose all three. But he's here. And he's wonderful."

Hugo's blood sugar levels dropped after his birth and he was placed in the special care nursery for a while.

"Iain became his primary carer, I was in and out of sleep. I remember him saying to me 'It's a boy', but even then I wasn't even able to hold Hugo. But to watch Iain step into that role, there is nothing sexier than seeing the man you love care for your child," Kristen said.

"For this beautiful man to walk into the special care nursery and say to the midwife, 'I've never done this before, can you help me?'. It was only four days later that I had to change a nappy or learn how to swaddle. Iain did it all.

"Even a week on, Hugo settles better with Iain. The bond that they have together is incredible."

Iain said being a dad was "wonderful" - despite the sleep deprivation.

They were also full of praise for their midwife, Cheryl Guthrie.

"It's hard to put into words the support from a woman like that. She was beyond amazing," Kristen said.

The couple is now enjoying the bubble of being at home with their "really chilled, no-fuss'' newborn.

Kristen's parents Bob and Trish Henry have arrived to help from Dubbo, and Iain's parents Sue and Gordon Davidson are just as proud, Sue making sure the freezer was stocked for meals for when they came home.

It has been an eventful few months for the Davidsons - they celebrated Kristen being pregnant, sold up their unit in Kingston, bought an historic cottage a stone's throw from Manuka, and then brought Hugo home to start their new life together.

In between all that, Kristen has been broadcasting from home as a precaution.

And his name? Hugo was the only name the couple agreed on. Fox was just something different.

"In pregnancy, I'd pictured this little boy with dark hair and piercing eyes who sort of walked to the beat of his own drum and I'd always been drawn to the name Fox. He was almost Fox Alexander, but already his cousins call him Fox," Kristen said.

Her first skin-to-skin experience with Hugo was almost a day after his birth.

"He lay on my chest and just exhaled, cocked his head and just looked at me with these piercing eyes and I thought: 'This is the little Fox I dreamt of, this is that little boy."

Kristen said the good wishes from the community had been overwhelming.

"It's lovely," she said.

Kristen plans to be back on the airwaves early next year, probably still working from home with the help of Iain - the silver lining of the coronavirus being that workplaces now realise their employees can do their jobs from home. Her co-host Nigel Johnson joked with her about coming back immediately.

"He was like 'You done now?'," Kristen said, with a laugh.

"There is a part of me that misses waking up with Canberra, misses the voices, misses Nige. We still talk almost daily anyway. I do it because I love it.

"And it'll definitely look a little different ... We as a team have learnt how to function like that. We know how to do it and it just gives me that little bit of extra flexibility and I'm sure there are a lot of parents in Canberra going through the same thing, you have sort of taught your bosses and your workplaces that you can work remotely."

Iain, who is a national director at Colliers International, is also more than ready to be part of the work-family juggle for their adored little boy, able to be there in the mornings when Kristen is on air.

But now is a time for soaking up the experience of being new parents.

"It's my favourite job, being his mum," Kristen said.
