Congratulations are in order for Edwina Bartholomew as she welcomes her second child with her husband, Neil Varcoe.
WATCH: Edwina announces her second pregnancy
The Sunrise host announced the happy baby news on March 3, revealing she had some “small news from our family.”
“Thomas Donald Elliott Varcoe born on the 1st of March, 2022. At such a difficult time for so many, many people, we hope Tom’s little face puts a smile on yours,” she wrote on Instagram where she shared a carousel of images.
“Introducing Thomas Donald Elliot Varcoe. We call him Tom,” Neil wrote on Instagram. “He arrived during a 1 in 100-year flood with flippers for feet. Donald was my father’s name. He’d be proud.”
Tom is the second child for Edwina and Neil, who welcomed their gorgeous two-year-old daughter Molly in December 2019.
The happy baby news comes after Edwina announced her pregnancy in August 2021 with a tongue-in-cheek Sunrise segment.
“In developing news, news that will be developing news, news that will be developing for the next six months, we will be having another baby,” she said.
“Due in February, and I tried to tell Molly and she was not terribly interested. I showed her the photo and she scrunched it up and threw it on the floor.”
The host also revealed she knew the gender ahead of the birth, but didn’t want to share the news with the public.
“We found out this time because we just wanted to know, but I wanted to keep that one as a little secret,” Edwina told her co-hosts, David Koch and Natalie Barr.
Edwina has been open with fans about all the challenging moments that come with motherhood, but she’s also keen to celebrate the positives too.
“I think it’s so rare for women to say, ‘Hey, I’m good at this,'” she told our sister site TV WEEK, referring to the pressure women face as new mothers.
“But you know what? I’m a really good mum, and Molly’s a really good baby. And we have a really happy family.
“That’s such a huge achievement. I don’t think ‘old me’ would have recognised that it’s a big deal and a great thing to be able to accomplish.”
