A BABY IS BORN 

Welcome Willem (Will) Jack Stokes...this is a photo of Tash taken by Todd not long after the birth in the birthing suite at St John of God Hospital Murdoch. 

Still in the birthing suite...Tash was induced at 9.30 am and Will was born at 1.30 pm with the help of only a little gas at the end...how amazing is Tash. Her obstetrician and midwife were marvellous. 

The proud Dad who has been always been there for Tash...

We were so fortunate to be able to share the joy later in the day in the ward. Here is the besotted uncle...

...the very happy grandfather who still hasn't decided what he will be called...

....an adorable closeup....he has a hospital beanie on as he is a little small, being born at 37 weeks...2742 gms (6 lb) 48 cm long.

...and proud Nanna Lisa, he is just perfect!
