Elyse Knowles is known for her aesthetically-appealing Instagram feed but the new mum is keeping it real in the days following the birth of her first child, Sunny.
Taking to her Instagram Stories on Wednesday, the former Block winner shared a video of fiancé Josh Barker leaving the hospital carrying their newborn bub in a capsule and preparing to get into their car and head home.
“Home time!” Elyse can be heard exclaiming from behind the camera. “Look at those little feet!”
The new mum captioned her clip: “A couple of days ago.”
“Safe to say, it was the scariest drive home everrrr.”
New mum Elyse also shared some footage from her time in hospital, including a video of herself after a bit of a breastfeeding mishap.
“Got milk? I don’t,” she joked in the clip, captioned “Learnt my lesson fast.”
The mum-of-one also shared a photo of herself lying in a hospital bed and tucked in with a bright blue blanket.
“Cooked,” she simply captioned the photo.
Despite “loving the changes” that motherhood brought during her pregnancy, Elyse revealed to WHO that she suffered severe morning sickness in her first trimester.
“During those first 8 or so weeks I was so sick I couldn’t even walk to the bathroom without feeling as though I was seconds away from throwing up,” she explains in an exclusive chat.
“The first trimester tested me big time! I was eating whatever I could simply to survive the nausea!”
Speaking of her very relatable cravings Elyse confessed it came down to “bread, pasta and chicken rolls.”
Block winners Elyse and Josh first met in Byron Bay, NSW in 2013 before they competed on the hit reno reality show together in 2017.
The couple announced their exciting baby news to fans and followers on Monday, revealing that their little one was born a four days before.
“The next chapter in our lives. The best chapter yet,” Elyse captioned her post of her newborn’s tiny feet.
“And it’s called Sunny ☀️ 25~2~21 Sunny Barke.”
