It’s official!
Carrie Bickmore’s latest project is here.
On Sunday, the beloved Project host confirmed the safe arrival of her third child, Adelaide Walker, in a touching Instagram post.
“Welcome to the world little ADELAIDE (or Addie as your siblings have already started calling you). We are absolutely besotted with you,” the 38-year-old penned alongside a sweet first family photo with her new bundle.
Carrie’s partner Chris Walker also posted the sweet first family photo, giving the Gold Logie winner a shout-out for her amazing work during the birth.
“Welcome Adelaide (Addie). You are a day old and already just the best. Addie arrived at 1:38pm yesterday and mum was a superstar. Ollie and Evie are in love with their baby sister,” Chris wrote.
WATCH: Carrie opens up about her third pregnancy. Post continues after the video…
The popular TV personality confirmed her third pregnancy with the cutest announcement ever back in July.
The happy couple shared their news in a heart-warming Instagram, which featured their daughter Evie, three, and Carrie’s son Oliver, 11, from her first marriage to late husband, Greg Lange.
Whether she’s dressing up as Emma Wiggle or giving fans an unfiltered glimpse into the chaos and misconception of trying to “do it all”, Carrie Bickmore is the definition of #MumGoals.
To celebrate the exciting arrival of Carrie Bickmore’s third baby, we’ve rounded up her most relatable mum moments.
If you ever needed proof that Carrie is just like us, behold! “Belly = crumbcatcher. Makes me wonder how much food I drop on the floor when I am not pregnant.”
In a world of polished and preened TV stars, this is SO good to see! The star posted this make-up-free, crying selfie after finishing a cracking good book. “This was me after finishing the final chapter of the book I’m reading. It was so bloody sad! Scared the hell out of my family – they thought something bad had happened!!!”
Before she shared her third pregnancy with the world, she hid her bump like a pro! “I’ve been wearing a lot of jackets and jumpers! On The Project the desk crosses right across my belly and I’ve slowly been lowering the chair a tiny bit. I’ve been going down, down, down as the weeks go on. Soon it will just be my little head above the desk,’ Carrie revealed.
Fans jumped for joy when Carrie Bickmore shared this extremely candid shot of her very messy bedroom. She may be a TV WEEK Gold Logie winner, but when it comes to the daily grind of juggling kids and work, she’s just like us.
Who could forget the time she dressed up as Emma Wiggle in Emma Wiggle’s actual outfit for a dress-up party. We bow down to this level of commitment.
Carrie Bickmore on her third pregnancy
She’s the first to admit she’s seriously lacking in the green thumb department, but shared a game-changing gardening hack that had us cheering.
“Lifehack: When you can’t grow real indoor plants…buy a plastic plant and put real soil in the pot and everyone will think it’s real! Finally I have lush green plants in my house,” she shared. Never change Carrie, never change.
Carrie Bickmore’s 2015 Gold Logies acceptance speech was arguably the most inspirational and career-defining moment for the mum of three.
There wasn’t a dry eye in the house when Carrie used the platform to pay tribute to her late husband Greg and her oldest son Ollie’s father to raise awareness of brain cancer and her charity, Beanies 4 Brain Cancer.
When she posted this beautiful throwback snap to celebrate her son Oliver Lange’s 10th birthday with a refreshingly real caption, we were once again thanking Carrie for her incredibly candidness. “This here is one exhausted, overwhelmed, scared mama, in shock over what her body just went through and unaware of the terrifying health issues that lay ahead for her in the coming weeks. What this tired mama didn’t realise was just how awesome life would be with this little old man in it,” she penned.
The birthday tribute continued: “Ollie we have been on a big journey together honey, but raising you has been the easy bit. I never take for granted how lucky I am to have been given the chance to watch you grow up… you are the kindest, happiest, funniest, and most resilient young man. Your dad would be so proud of you who are. Mummy, Chris, little Evie, your grandparents, aunties, uncles and cousins love you 100 times more than you love watching people play Minecraft! A lot! here’s to many more years of life together beautiful boy. Happy 10th birthday. Don’t ever stop snuggling next to me (well maybe one day-but not yet!) xxxx.” Someone pass us the tissues.
Carrie lost her husband of five years Greg Lange when little Ollie was just three years old, after a long struggle with brain cancer.
She has since found love with producer Chris Walker and in 2015, the couple welcomed their first child together, a beautiful daughter called Evie. The pair met when they both worked on The Project, but Chris has since landed a gig as the senior producer on ABC’s *The Weekly with Charlie Pickering.”
“I had done five years at The Project and for a number of reasons decided it was time to move on — predominantly because I had started dating Carrie. We didn’t really want to work and live together,” Chris told news.com.au of his decision not to work with his partner.
Since becoming a mum, Carrie’s confessed she required the help of a professional ahead of the birth of her second child, Evie. “Giving birth is a full on thing, it’s beautiful, it’s special, but it’s also traumatic. It’s painful, I would have done anything to have the experience erased from my mind. I found it so traumatic come the birth of my second child I actually had counselling to get myself okay to be able to give birth to Evie because I was so scared after the first experience. They say you forget and that’s why you go back again. I never forgot,” she admitted. Yep, no sugar-coating for this star!
Carrie Bickmore best moments
Ahh the glamour of toilet training! “That fun toilet training stage where you take a mini mouse toilet seat with you everywhere. Including parks, nice restaurants, the beach, friends houses and the shops. Just as well it goes with my outfit,” Carrie joked. READ NEXT: Carrie Bickmore’s best maternity fashion moments
Sometimes a busy mum deserves to knock-off a whole tub of Nutella. Good onya, Carrie.
