Amanda Byram has shared her first snap as a family of three, a week after welcoming baby Phoenix into the world.
Posting a picture of the three of them on the beach, the presenter reflected on her first week as a mother; “During pregnancy I would walk this beach everyday telling Phoenix how much he was going to love it, and now he has had his first proper listen of the waves crashing.”
“It’s been over a week since I’ve taken off my PJs, washed my hair, emerged from my disposable pants, used bucket loads of Lanisoh or slept more than 2 hours a night and I am beyond grateful for every single one of these things.”
Continuing she added; “The emotional rollercoaster that comes with being a first time mummy, is one I am truly grateful for and wouldn’t change for the world.”
Amanda Byram and her husband Julian Okines, have welcomed their first child together into the world just last week. Posting a picture on Instagram of their intertwining hands Amanda wrote, “And then there was you…”
“Im so overjoyed, full of love and bursting with happiness to be able to share with you that @julianokines and I have welcomed our incredible son, Phoenix Blaze Byram Okines into the big wide, wonderful world.:
“What a privilege that he entrusted us to nurture and guide his little soul through the endless possibilities of life and we are eternally grateful to him for choosing us to be his parents.”
Amanda also opened up about her fertility issues in the caption of her post announcing baby Pheonix; “Our fertility journey has been long and we know only too well the heartbreak of the hope that turned to hopelessness, the elation that turned to devastation and the strain putting this often-secretive journey before your job, your friends, and your life.”
“I know many brave parents-in-waiting who, like us, have struggled for a long time, so today we share this magical news in the hope it can inspire and offer a light at the end of the tunnel. You are powerful warriors, I know your pain, and I see you. We send you all the strength you need to tackle your journeys…”
Continuing she added; “Now that he is finally here, we realise we have never been more ready or felt more mentally, physically, and emotionally equipped to be his mummy and daddy.”
