Rugby league legend Mal Meninga, coach of the Queensland Maroons, and his wife Amanda [pictured], recently welcomed their second son, who they have named Zach. Zach Meninga joins big brother Elijah, who hadn’t had his first birthday at the time, so for a while the Meningas had two boys under the age of one. Elijah’s birth was announced on the blog last year.

Liberal National Party MP Saxon Rice, and her husband Thomas, welcomed their first child on February 6 and have named their daughter Imogen Anderson.

Radio host Jess Eva, and her partner Norm Hogan, welcomed their first child on March 4 and have named their son Fred Hayden.
