Bindi Irwin had us feeling all the feels with the news that she and husband Chandler Powell were expecting a little wildlife warrior after the pair tied the knot at Australia Zoo back in March.
The daughter of late Aussie legend Steve Irwin has now revealed details about the moment she informed hubby Chandler that he was going to be a dad.
Posting on Instagram, Bindi explained that in the moment she took a pregnancy test and saw that it was positive, it felt like “time stood still”.
“Discovering that I was going to become a mother will forever be a moment where time stood still,” she began.
“I took a test and ran into the kitchen where Chandler was making us tea. He didn’t hear me come in so I speechlessly watched him pouring the water into my most loved hedgehog mug. This news would change the course of our future in the best way.”
Bindi continued, “I started crying tears of pure joy and told my sweetheart husband that my test was positive. We were beaming while our adorable puppy Piggy sat on our feet wondering what was going on. It reminded me of just how perceptive animals are.”
She said that she and Chandler then “sat together with tea talking about the future and how we were going to share such wonderful, life-changing news with the people that we love.”
“In that short span of time the gorgeous baby I’m carrying became the most important part of our lives. It is such a blessing knowing that this tiny person has chosen us as parents. Our baby Wildlife Warrior is going to be so very loved by our families and entire Australia Zoo team.”
Bindi concluded, “I can’t wait to find out what this amazing new soul loves in life, and experience the world all over again through their eyes.”
After the adorable pair announced their exciting news last month, mum Terri Irwin shared her excitement over Twitter, while adding she wished husband Steve was still alive to share the joy.
“Words cannot express the love that is filling my heart. While I wish that Steve was here to share this beautiful moment, I know that he would be so proud,” Terri wrote.
Bindi’s little brother, Robert Irwin, also took to his Twitter to share his happiness over the news and how excited he was to be an uncle to the littlest member of the Irwin clan.
“The best news ever! I am so happy for Bindi & Chandler to be welcoming a new member of the family. I can’t believe I’m going to be an uncle! Incredibly excited for this brilliant new chapter and all the fun adventures ahead with a new little Wildlife Warrior,” he wrote.
