In a heartfelt announcement, The Nationals’ Member for Euroa, Annabelle Cleeland, has shared the exciting news of the birth of her third child, a baby girl named Sigrid.
Ms Cleeland shared the news on her social media this week.
“David and I are overjoyed to announce the arrival of our beautiful baby girl, Sigrid Cleeland,” Ms Cleeland 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 this special time and reassured the community that she remained dedicated to her work in Parliament.
“I want to thank everyone who has been and supportive, and for all the well-wishes and support that my family and I have received,” Ms Cleeland said.
“I’m soaking up a few blissful weeks in the newborn bubble with our beautiful daughter, who has made our family feel complete.
“Arthur and Quinn have adjusted beautifully to their new roles as big brother and sister, and, as always, David is handling the juggling act perfectly.
“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 David’s third child, joining Arthur, 5 years-old, and Quinn, 3.
