On Monday night, the new mum-of-two shared a gorgeous photo of herself, eldest daughter Marlie-Mae, 20 months, and newborn Lola and in classic form, Laura kept it real in her caption.

“Haven’t left the couch in five days, my boobs are so big they might start orbiting the sun and Marlie’s eaten all my lactation cookies…. But HOT DAMN we are a happy bunch,” she penned.

On Thursday, Laura and Matty introduced their second child to the world via two heartfelt Instagram posts.

Welcome to the world my precious little Lola Ellis Johnson,” Laura penned in hers.

“I said I would eat my own poop if you were a girl, and yet HERE YOU ARE! Already teaching me the worldly life lessons that come with being a mama – such as, just because I feel something to be true (in my waters) doesn’t mean it is and not to make promises to @matthewdavidjohnson that I 100% do not intend on keeping.

“You are perfection. You are dynamite. We love you and your 95 percentile head endlessly.”

Meanwhile, Matty wrote: “Lola Ellis Johnson.. you had us all fooled! Everyone from your Mum, your Nana, the neighbour and even the postman thought you were going to be a boy. Playing pranks on us all already.. I love it! I also love that I’m now well and truly outnumbered by three beautiful and rambunctious girls at home. Welcome to the family. ❤️””
