Irish Youtube star Melanie Murphy has revealed she’s expecting her first child with husband Thomas.
The happy couple, who got married earlier this week, shared their pregnancy joy this afternoon.
Sharing a snap of her baby scan, Melanie said, “Something’s been cooking.
“After the PCOS scare, we both decided to start trying/to stop ‘being careful’ – assuming it would take months to a year or more, then this little profiterole came along in January, straight away.”
She continued, “We both feel so incredibly lucky and have been through all of the emotions during the first twelve weeks…what a rollercoaster.
“I really didn’t know what to expect as I’ve never been around a pregnant woman and I was dealing with a lot of ovarian cyst pain on top of the pregnancy which was…not fun.”
Melanie went on to say, “Today, our scan showed a strong heartbeat and everything is looking very healthy. Little one was bouncing around, having a jolly old time!
“We’ve been utterly ecstatic ever since we got home and have been dying to share the news.”
Earlier this week, the pair had to cancel their plans for a humanist ceremony which was due to take place in Wicklow, and instead, tied the knot in a registry office surrounded by just a handful of their nearest and dearest.
Instead of wearing the dress she had planned for the big day, she opted for her day-two guna.
Sharing a loved-up snap of the newlyweds, she said, “This isn’t my actual wedding dress and this wasn’t our big, planned wedding day – in our perfect venue with all of our dear friends and family…the one I’ve lived out in my head a thousand times as we planned away – *but* this man, folks, is now officially my husband! At 2pm yesterday we said our vows in a registry office.”
The Coronavirus has put a halt to many weddings around the country – but we’re sure they’ll get to celebrate with their family and friends at another time.
