The new mother looked relaxed and fresh-faced, going makeup-free as she held her little ones close. 

An excited Marlie Mae munched on a cookie and had a wide smile on her face as she lapped up the attention. 

Laura captioned the photo: ‘Haven’t left the couch in 5 days, my boobs are so big they might start orbiting the sun and Marlie’s eaten all my lactation cookies… But HOT DAMN we are a happy bunch’.

Matty and Laura announced the arrival of their latest addition Lola on Thursday evening last week.  

‘Lola Ellis Johnson… you had us all fooled! Everyone from your mum, your nana, the neighbour and even the postman thought you were going to be a boy,’ Matty captioned a series of photos of the newborn.

‘Playing pranks on us all already.. I love it! I also love that I’m now well and truly outnumbered by three beautiful and rambunctious girls at home. Welcome to the family,’ he added.
