After announcing they were expecting in July, the couple has been patiently waiting to meet their daughter. She continued: “I have been dreaming of this moment for as long as I can remember, the day I was going to meet my little girl. A friend recently told me how magical today was going to be because it’s the day I would meet my best friend.”
