"Born at 3.31am on 3/3/23 weighing 8lbs with the most beautiful head of hair (Amy would take the 9 months of reflux again) and we are so so in love 😍💙.

Amy has said she and Sam grew closer than ever during her pregnancy.
However, she had ordered him not to propose before the baby was born as she wants to toast the moment with Champagne.
Speaking about the pregnancy she told The Sun: "I'm really enjoying having the bump because I've held my belly in for 30 years, and now I can wear tight dresses all of the time.
"For the most part it has been relatively easy, pregnancy is never easy, and my heart goes out for people who really suffer but I've only been sick once."
Amy added: "Pregnancy has brought me and Sam closer together.
"We had a little bleed in Spain, and Sam, I always knew he was amazing but everyday he's more amazing. He was doing lots of Googling and every time I went to the toilet, he would appear to check I'm OK.

"It has brought us closer together, we are both quite level-headed and we are both teaching each other different things, he's very organised and tidy and I'm really messy.
"He always says when the baby comes, we're going to have a lot more stuff. He's a big overthinker and he gets quite stressed and I'm teaching him."
