Well friends...Great news from the already large Branken family is that we are now even bigger. Daniel was born last night (31 May 2007) at 10:15 pm after no less than 26 hours of contractions (although the active part was only about an hour and a half). Trish was as brave as ever and successfully gave birth to a 3.16kg, 50cm Branken boy who is healthy and strong. Praise God!

It is interesting that each child has got smaller (Hannah 3.5kg, 57cm; Rachel 3.3kg, 54cm; Jordan 3.2kg; 52cm...and now Daniel). We are really delighted.

Trish is doing well and enjoying being pampered in hospital - they even gave her a free pedicure this afternoon.

Thank you to everyone for your frequent sms's, love, prayers, care and support. You are a blessing.

Nigel and Trish
