Get on the phone to Meg already!
26 past 8.
We got a text late last night from Meg,
who's on maternity leave at the moment, saying,
hey guys, I've got something I would love to share with you guys on the show,
just after 8 o'clock if you could schedule it in.
I wonder what that could be.
Well, she joins us.
I'm already crying.
Live.
Meg, good morning.
Morning guys. joins us live. Good morning guys, yeah I do have big news Guy and I have bought a house.
You're joking of course. There's no time for jokes man.
I am now the mother of two children. Over the weekend I think I honestly still feel like I'm coming back down to earth and
it's all a bit of a blur but I believe it was yesterday that I had my second daughter. No! Why are you doing that? Why are you doing that?
Why do you want to be a girl?
Oh yes!
Oh yes!
Oh me!
We're so happy for you.
I had my second daughter.
Her name is Mila Lake Mansell.
She'll be going by Mila or Millie.
She can either be her little tomboy coolness or a little sweet Millie, whatever she wants
to be.
But she is, I don't know if anybody cares about the weight, but she's 3.8 kg, so not
the fiver that 5 kg zebra almost said it was going to have.
They were lying to you.
Yeah, they were.
And we're just over the moon.
Daisy got to meet her little sister yesterday
and she was amazing with her.
And it's just, it's obviously hugely overwhelming
and exciting and full on.
And we're very happy to be a girl family
and have two girls in our lives,
two happy healthy girls at the moment.
Oh, we're so happy for you, Meg.
This is the best news.
How does it feel, my love, to know that you never have
to give birth again?
It's done.
You made your family.
I would do, and then look, I've been going back and forth,
Ash, on how much I say about my birth.
Let's say I am, because I don't want to frighten anybody, and I think that probably says enough.
But let's just say I am happy that it is in my past. I'm also extremely proud of myself.
And if the boys ever give me shit for anything ever again, I will go back to that place and know what I'm capable of and I won't I will not listen to a word they say because what I went through to get
to get this family has been pretty big but we're here and we did it and it's you know
it was a moment in time and it's in my past now and I'm very proud of myself
and I'm very happy to be looking down right now at a very
sweet little girl who by the way is a clone of her sister.
Oh thank god.
Because Nick, you know we've had the discussion.
We were worried.
Yes, we've had the discussion.
We were worried.
How could you have two?
How could you have another little girl as beautiful as Daisy?
Like it's very, because I'm so happy that she looks like her sister otherwise she's
going to be in the shadow of that beautiful supermodel child forever
and I love the name can I just say I love her name
I've been really nervous about the name of her I mean I don't know what else to be
honest with with you guys and the whole and and everybody listens to the show I
don't know how to not be honest but I've been so nervous about the name.
I know people will say it a bit out there
and it's a boy's name or it's a surname,
but it's a cool girl's name and we like that.
She can also be Malia.
Well, babe, we're getting so many texts coming through.
Like everyone is so, just lots of,
oh my God, oh my God, oh my God, in capital letters.
Hannah said, what a beautiful name, Meg.
OMG, wishing you, oh, she's on, she wants to talk to you.
Let's get Hannah on.
Hannah, you're talking to Meg.
Oh my gosh, Meg, good morning, sweetheart.
We are all so proud of you,
and that is the most gorgeous name I have ever heard,
honestly.
Daisy's gonna be the best,
biggest, oldest, fifth, and you're gonna be the best mum twice over.
Thank you Hannah, thank you so much for that. It's like so overwhelming to have
people that you know I know I haven't even like met me in real life but I really feel like I have
such a strong connection to because of this amazing job that I have and thank you as always
for I've felt your love and I've always felt your love through this pregnancy so I can't
thank everybody enough and genuinely sending out the love because I am very connected.
Sorry am I talking too much? Am I on with the break?
I was just going to say.
It's a long break isn't it?
You can talk till 9. Talk till 9.30 and we'll sit here listening, lapping it up. I was just going to say speaking of connections a long break. You can talk till 9.30 and we'll sit here listening, lapping it up.
I was just going to say, speaking of connections...
Is Clint okay?
He's fine.
I haven't heard much from him.
No, you go Dan.
I was just going to say, speaking of connections, Ash is a mess.
Yeah.
Right in your centre.
There's tears, there's snots.
Everyone's so excited, Megan, like we'll jump in and so we're just wanting you to just have
your time as well.
I know.
I do want to ask you one question, Megan.
I remember before you left, you were really concerned
and it was making you quite emotional
that you wondered how you were going to have enough love
to give to another kid.
And I wonder over the last two days,
how much that perspective of yours has changed.
Yeah, it has, but I still don't know if I like it.
LAUGHTER
I think, just like, nothing but...
Honestly, it's amazing.
I would never have gone through what I went through in my birth
and then been out with till I instantly
love something so much with somebody so much afterwards it doesn't feel like it
should be physically mentally possible to have something or somebody put you
through that in a way and then to love them so immensely and not have any
regrets and I yeah I just adore her instantly isn't it funny I just adore her. Isn't it funny? I just adore her. I feel very lucky to be
a little girl mom to two and I think my husband Guy will suit me.
Girls are the best.
Oh good morning everybody.
Oh Guy. He was amazing. It was almost like an eye roll. Do you know, I came back from, I had to have a very urgent surgery after I gave birth
and I came back and he started like bathing me
with flannels and towels.
Oh mate, get your hands off, she's just given birth.
Yeah, just a few hours.
Come on mate.
Man, okay, flannels and everything.
You didn't put on a perm, really?
Yeah.
I'm egret, ecstatic, there are a lot of tears and I know we want to piss you and we've got a
thousand questions. We also want to give you your time with your brand new family.
Have a big rest, my love. You're our hero. We bow down. There is nothing more powerful
than what a woman has to go through to bring a Bubba into the world and you've done it
twice. You're amazing.
Thank you. Thank you. And never again. Never again. She's shutting up shop down there.
Oh never again. I think it's an emphatic never again. Let us know when you're home because
Hannah's made bliss balls and minestrone for you so I'll drop it over. Oh brilliant we're all a
soup family thanks for that Dan. Thank you. Love you guys. We love you babe. Love you bye.
Thank you, Meg. We love you, babe.
Love you. Bye. Bye.
