Elke Laureen Mowbray!

Born 22.21, 6th November 2009 at the Royal Prince Alfred Hospital Sydney, weighing 3.89kg (8.6lbs) and 53cm in length. It wasn't an easy start and after an 18 hour labour and with the help of some forceps little Elke came into the world!



K only spent the Friday and Saturday night in the RPA and then we were allowed to bring our little girl home. The first week was busy but great as we got to know our little girl and she got to know us!

Sydney to Gong 2009

K was due the next day but I had to do the Gong ride this year so Andrew had someone to ride with :) and so we could do the whole 90km this year. I managed to borrow a road bike from Phil at work so at least I wouldn't be struggling bouncing up and down on the hills on my suspension like last year.

We started at round 6.20am from St. Peters near the city, we were riding in the Westpac team hence the shirts. Thinking we'll take it easy at the start to pace ourselves we didn't really hold back and rode well.




We did well in the end - thinking we'd do it in around 4 hours we managed 3 hours 19 mins inclusive of forced lights and police stops - pleased with that :) and K didn't even go into labour once.
