Writing about her experience on the social media platfrom, she called it her “Crazy delivery story”.

There are so many things I want to say but to be honest I’m not quite sure how to order my thoughts and get my words out. So this will be a whole lot of waffle. It’s my birthday today. Thirty laps around the sun. And I’m a mum now! Surprise lol. This year has been a movie. In every way. I still haven’t quite processed it but I’m grateful to be here, grateful for the incredible amount of love I have in my life and I’m excited for what’s to come.
Happy Birthday to Me ♥️♥️♥️♥️ PS This has been my facial expression for the past month trying to get my head around my crazy delivery story.
