It’s been a season of celebration at Sidekick Christchurch, with not one, not two, but four of our team members welcoming their first babies! In a delightful twist of timing, each pregnancy was announced just a month apart—like clockwork. Naturally, each announcement was marked with a cake at morning tea, and by the time the fourth one rolled around, the team had the routine down pat. We’re starting to think there might be something in the water!

To honour this special chapter, we recently hosted a group baby shower at Midnight Shanghai, complete with laughter, well-wishes, and of course—more cake.

We’re thrilled for Katie Ashton, Ayumi Ogata, Ashleigh Falgar, and Emily Roach, who are now all on maternity leave. While they enjoy this exciting new adventure, we’re pleased to welcome Mark and Dani to the team to help keep things running smoothly in their absence.

Congratulations to our new mums—we can’t wait to meet the newest members of the Sidekick whānau!
