The proud mum added she feels like the "luckiest mamma in the land" and is "soaking it all in", telling her followers she is "enjoying every second" of motherhood as she cuddled her newborn son.
"The boys are all besotted," she continued. "James is in love, there’s so much that’s happened, ooh I just can’t wait to fill you in… but for now – we just wanted to say thank you.
