The TV presenter took to Instagram to share several pictures of daughter Molly to celebrate the milestone date.

'What a time to be born. First the bushfires and now a global pandemic,' the 36-year-old wrote.

'It's hard to know what life will look like for you in a week/month/decade,' she said, before going on to joke that their home is “filled with joy (and poo and baby dribble and dirty clothes) but mostly joy.”

Hands up if you are three months old today? ⠀ ⠀ What a time to be born. First the bushfires and now a global pandemic.⠀ ⠀ It's hard to know what life will look like for you in a week/month/decade so here instead is a little of what life looks like for you now. ⠀ ⠀ Our home is filled with joy (and poo and baby dribble and dirty clothes) but mostly joy. That's all because of you. ⠀ ⠀ You wake up bright as a button. So bright, in fact, it's hard to get you back to sleep. Memo to Molly - it's ok to take a nap. I would like one too. ⠀ ⠀ Your Mum (that's me) has discovered she only knows one line of every song ever written, except the entire Spice Girls back catalogue. Not terribly useful at bed time. Heads, Shoulders, Knees and Toes is about as good as it gets. You love it on repeat. Your dad, not so much. ⠀ ⠀ Your big blue eyes are wide open to the world. Your face lights up when you hear your dad's voice. Oh, and you also discovered your hands and feet this month. They are endlessly fascinating. ⠀ ⠀ I hope this little face gives you as much delight as it gives us. It's a great reminder that in super strange times that life trickles on. ⠀ ⠀ My friend @sylviajeffreys put up a great post yesterday about new mums and I encourage you to give it a read. I was lucky to find a mother's group before the community went into meltdown but lots of others missed out. Pregnant women are being told to isolate for weeks in what can already be a very isolating time. Reach out to your family, friends and neighbours.⠀ ⠀ We can never predict the future, all we can do is protect the present. So I'll be right here smushing someone's little cheeks for the foreseeable future xxx

One month old today. What a wild ride. Your Uncle took this photo and I think we both look pretty chuffed with ourselves. You are a delight, Molly Matilda. Sure, the full throttle crying is not so delightful but thankfully that's pretty rare. You just get hangry like your Dad. The first 48 hours of motherhood were challenging in a way I wasn't really prepared for. I was a total mess, actually. I burst into tears in the kitchen when our midwife arrived, I burst into tears when @neilwrites went to sleep and I couldn't, and a few more times, just because. Over the past four weeks we have slowly found our groove. You sleep so well and smile so much (or is it wind?) No matter. I suppose both feel pretty good at this early stage. My goals have changed. Have a shower each day is now number one. Ticked that box. Wash my hair, occasionally. I accept I may never pee with the door closed again and it will be a while before I can eat a plate of food without cutting it up onto small pieces. None of my old clothes fit and, although spirits are high, my boobs are most certainly not. In short, it's been pretty magical. At times I have looked at you with your Dad and felt like I would explode with love. It could still happen. Be warned. I'll try not to embarrass you when it does. Don't grow up too quickly. Your Mum xx

“We can never predict the future, all we can do is protect the present. So I’ll be right here smushing someone’s little cheeks for the foreseeable future xxx” she concluded.

Edwina and husband Neil Neil Varcoe welcomed Molly into the world on December 19, 2019 after a lengthy labour.
