A boy!

Mitchell Lachlan Clark was delivered by elective caesarian this morning at 8:36. He was 3.78kg or 8 pounds 5 ounces. He is a month early, but you'd never guess from his size. He's a beautiful little boy we are thrilled. He's nice and pink and has a nice amount of dark hair on his little head. He was 50.5 cm long.

Because he's one month premature he's having a few problems feeding, but we'll get over that. Meeks had a bad reaction to the morphine which was administered and she has spent the day feeling very groggy and nauseous and very tired. As a result she didn't really get her first proper cuddle until tonight. We're both hoping she feels better tomorrow.

No photos just yet unfortunately, but should be tomorrow hopefully as I get the technology together.

Thank you for your ongoing prayers,

Dave and Meeks

Congratulations Meeks and Dave!

Awesome news - can't wait to see some photos of little Mitchell. Hope new mum recovers quickly so you can enjoy your gift properly together.

God bless (I guess He just has)

Mike and Katie
