MEET KATE DEARAUGO'S LITTLE AUSSIE IDOL!

Despite a delayed entrance to the world, her baby boy is here

Kate DeAraugo says everything changed when her gorgeous boy arrived 12 days past the due date, and was placed on her chest, leaving the two of them to gaze at each other in wonder.

"It's the most beautiful thing I've ever experienced in my life," an overjoyed Kate, 37, tells Woman's Day.

"It's something I couldn't have prepared myself for, or that anybody else could have prepared me for, but that moment they pass you this tiny, tiny human and they put him on your chest...

"It makes me nearly cry just thinking about it. It's all consuming and everything changed for me in that moment. It was a very beautiful moment."

ARMY OF KIDS

The 2005 Australian Idol winner and her partner Shannon Riseley had an anxious wait to meet Hudson, who had to be medically induced 12 days after his due date, and arrived after a nine-and-a-half-hour labour.
