ONE of the best Mother’s Day present in the city was delivered at the maternity ward at Orange Base Hospital yesterday, with first time parents Michelle and Keith Howarth unexpectedly welcoming a baby boy.
Michelle gave birth to Zachary Christian Howarth just after 11am and said she couldn’t have asked for a better Mother’s Day gift.
‘I actually wasn’t due for another couple of weeks but he decided to come today,” proud mum Michelle said.
“Despite being taken by surprise it really is the best Mother’s Day present you could hope for.”
“He certainly took us all by surprise but it’s all worth it when you sit here and hold him, he’s just beautiful.”
