Member for Euroa Annabelle Cleeland has welcomed a new family member with the birth of her baby girl, Sigrid.
Ms Cleeland shared the news on her social media accounts earlier this month.
“David and I are overjoyed to announce the arrival of our beautiful baby girl, Sigrid Cleeland,” she said.
“Her name means ‘beautiful victory’, and she is settling in wonderfully after a smooth entrance into the world, thanks to the incredible doctors and wonderful midwives who assisted her birth.
“Just like her brother and sister, Sigrid arrived at 39 weeks—perfect timing, as I was getting a bit impatient to meet her!”
Ms Cleeland expressed gratitude for the support received during the special time, and stated she remained committed to her work.
“I want to thank everyone who has been … supportive, and for all the well-wishes and support that my family and I have received,” she said.
“While I’ve scaled back my physical workload during this time of recovery, I remain committed to ensuring that our community is advocated for, and there are still several major issues that I will continue to fight for.
“It takes a village to raise a child, and I am deeply grateful to be surrounded by the best family, friends, and community that support me as both a mother and MP.”
This is Ms Cleeland and her husband’s third child, joining Arthur, 5, and Quinn, 3.
