Meet Daniel

April 30th, 2006 by mhjones

It’s a boy! Meet my son, Daniel Mark. He was born on Saturday night, clocking in at 4.2kg, or 9lb, 5oz, and 53cm long. Mrs J did an incredible job given the task at hand!

Despite what they say about the public hospital system, I’d have to rate Royal North Shore Hospital’s maternity unit a 10. The facilities are excellent and the midwives knew just what to say, and when. Even better, it was a quiet day so we had all the attention we wanted. Oh, and get this: The bloke gets free reign of a nicely stocked fridge.

On matters of the heart, we’re thanking God that Daniel is healthy and (so far) behaving himself. New life is nothing short of a miracle, and we’ve been blessed beyond our imagination.

    Congratulations mate, that’s great news.

    Good of him to wait till Saturday night too :)

  2. Cameron Reilly Says:

    yeah congrats to you both Mark and Heather. Named after “the other guy” from Savage Garden? If not, your boy is really going to have trouble getting the #1 googlerank for a reverse name lookup. Unless, of course, no-one remembers Savage Garden 20 years from now… what are the chances?

  3. Simon Says:

    Congratulations to the two of you – or should that be the four of you.
    May your lives be filled with happiness!

  4. Tejas Patel Says:

    Congratulations to you and your family mate. Good luck for the exciting life of being a dad ahead.

  5. Shane Williamson Says:

    Congratulations Mark!
    Great to hear you’ve been blessed with a healthy son.
    So, is he going to be a doctor, astronaut or Greenpeace activist!?!?!? :-)

  6. Mark Jones Says:

    Thanks for the comments guys! Shane, according to his Grandpa, he’s going to be a pilot. Considering I wanted to be a truck driver when I was a little tacker, I reckon that’s a step up in the right direction.
    Cam, actually, I’ve been waiting for the Daniel Johns/Silverchair comments :)

    Congratulations Mark! It is normally pretty hard to pick with newborns, but he actually looks just like his Dad.

  13. Emilio Robles Says:

    Congratulations Mark and Mrs J.

    I guess the only question now is when version 2.0 planning will start now you already have version 1.0 delivered.
