Thinking back to when my twins were new born babies, as a new mummy I was wrapped up in a baby bubble of love. I was proud, excited, overwhelmed, grateful, emotional… and I was also incredibly lonely. None of my friends or family had young babies so I didn’t know any women in a similar situation. I really wish I had a support system back then. If you feel the same way or maybe you just want advice from other mums, please check out @peanut. I came across this app the other day. It introduces you to women nearby based on the things you have in common – interests, mutual friends, age/gender of your children and so much more! You can connect, chat, join groups and ask questions to other women who can relate to your experiences. It's a great way to find local mums to meet up with too. Motherhood is a happy time in your life and @peanut is a reminder that we're not alone. #PeanutApp #NewMums #Connect #MumApp #Ad

And husband Paddy was bursting with pride. He commented: “So proud” followed by three red heart emojis.

Fans couldn’t wait to send their praise too. One wrote: “I smile every time I see your posts. You do so much amazing work to help autistic people and their families! We need more people like you.”

Congratulations Christine!

These dreamy years have also been busy ones for the star, who rose to fame for his role as Marc St. James on the sitcom “Ugly Betty.” Now, Urie stars in the hit Apple TV dramedy “Shrinking” alongside Harrison Ford and Jason Segel — season two premieres Oct. 16. He has also taken the stage by storm over the past couple of years, starring in Broadway’s revival of “Spamalot” and now the revival of “Once Upon a Mattress,” which also had a stint at New York City Center in the winter. While both shows feature Urie in showstopping musical numbers, he never considered himself to be “very musical.”  Michael Urie in “Once Upon a Mattress.” “Doing a musical at all, it’s still a pinch me thing,” he says. “I fell in love with theater because of musicals…[but singing] didn’t come naturally to me.” ...
