Received a SMS from Adair this morning:

Adair and Mardi have been blessed with a baby girl. She has been named Vienna Elizabeth Durie. 7lb 5 oz. 51cm. Both very healthy. Vienna is seriously gorgeous!

Our heartiest congratulations to Adair and Mardi on this marvellous, marvellous day. I can just imagine the beaming smile on Adair's face. Well done the pair of you! This is just fantastic news!

Congratulations Mardi & Adair.

Cigar notes to follow Adair?

CONGRATULATIONS Mardi and Adair!
Fantastic news and her name is Vienna, how wonderful!
I was thinking of red for my next bottle but it will be now Champagne!
Cheers!

Can't hurt to congratulate you guys again!! When are you going to buy the shotgun to keep those scoundrel boys from the front door?

All the best to Mardi and cheers from the benches!!!!

Well go on, you can't keep it a secret, it wouldn't be fair. My little girl is only 18 months but I'm already taking on Robert de Niro characteristics (not from Jackie Brown though). So go on, SHARE!!
