At 1:38am this morning after 22hrs of labour daniel was born by C section.
Weighing in at a healthy 4.99Kg (11lb) and 57cm long.
After a really good trial at a natural delivery we were forced to have a C section as he was too big for my little wife.
Mum and Daniel are well but exhausted. Scrapbooking supplies are banned for at least 2 days.
Thanks for all your thoughts and well wishes.
Andy
Ooooooh, I have tears in my eyes! Wow Trina, he is absolutely gorgeous, what a little sweetie. Well, not so little - 5kg - WOW!
Huge congrats to you and Andy and Matt and Sarah, he is adorable and I am so happy for you guys!

Congratulations - how truly wonderful.
Daniel is ADORABLE but the important question is are you moving to Melbourne. Essendon will need a new ruckman - and at 11 pouds and 57 cms - young Daniel could be just our man :-)
Much love to you all

Yay! Great to hear the newest McClune has arrived (see I told you Trina it was going to happen on the full moon!)
Daniel is beautiful. You should be so proud of yourself Trina...22hours of labour is more than anyone should have to bear.

oh Trina congratulations!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You are an absolute champion!!!!!!!! I cannot believe you laboured for that long. My goodness, Charlotte is 2 months old & only now is 10lb7oz. I cannot imagine carrying a baby of that size. But boy oh boy, he is as gorgeous as ever isn't he? Those cheeks & those cutie pie red lips - very kissable indeed. I wish a speedy recovery for you & lets hope he's a good sleeper, you need some good rest girl. Wow, you are amazing. Love to you & all the family.
Kate xoxo
