Anna's baby bliss NINA'S CHANGED MY LIFE!

It’s a sunny Auckland day when the Weekly catches up with Anna Jullienne as she enjoys the final hours of relative peace with her one-year-old daughter Nina before her rambunctious boys Jude and Ted arrive home from school.

“My boys can be quite rowdy sometimes,” she says with a laugh. “All three of my kids are hurricanes of mess and destruction, so when I come home after dropping them off at school, it looks like my house has been burgled by someone who also made themselves breakfast and lunch.”

Despite the chaos, it has been a joyful year for Anna and her husband James after welcoming their third child, first daughter Nina, in June last year. Though they’ve had her mother and in-laws around to help, Anna says she has definitely felt the change.

“The jump from one child to two we noticed a lot because you’ve amplified the craziness in the house,” Anna tells. “Now with number three, it’s the busyness, the messiness and the noisiness that has increased.”

And while it has been a big shift as parents, Anna says brothers Ted, eight, and Jude, five, are now more interested in their own lives rather than playing with their baby sister.
