In her own words, reality star Angel Fulljames, 31, reveals how baby Vienna has transformed her and hubby Brett's lives after a 'record-breaking' labour
Brett & Angel MEET OUR LITTLE MIRACLE

When I think back W to 2017, when I married a stranger on TV on the very first season of Married At First Sight NZ, it seems so crazy.

Meeting my husband and soulmate Brett Renall, 39, was the greatest gift and our lives have changed so much since then and the changes just keep coming!

In the past year, I got pregnant, we sold our house and bought a farm, and now we have a baby. I'm exhausted just thinking about it, although that could be the lack of sleep... But it's all worth it for Vienna. I don't even know what my life was like before she came along. She's everything to us!

People have been asking us ever since MAFS when we were going to start a family, but we'd always said we'd wait until I turned 30, which happened in April last year. It was August when I found out I was pregnant.

I was sitting at home in Lincoln, watching the men's shotput at the Olympics, and I just had this random feeling, so I decided to do a test, which turned out to be positive.

I'd had these big, elaborate plans for how I was going to break the news to Brett, but my brain shut down and I didn't know what to do, so I just put the test in an empty box with a bit of paper saying, 'Hi, Dad!'

Then I just sat on the couch for two hours, trying to process it. When Brett came home, I didn't know how to get him to open the box, so I was like, "Your mum dropped this package off for you."

He opened it and was so confused. When the penny finally dropped, he was yahooing around the house!

We were both so excited. We wanted a little family so badly and we know it's not guaranteed for everyone. Every baby is a miracle in their own right and we felt so lucky that life had unfurled this way for us.
