Just before lunchtime today, the 38-year-old shared a couple of sweet photos of her family meeting their newest addition in Georgia.

“Just before lunchtime on Monday. Tahlie Crawford made her entrance into the world,” Georgie wrote. “Her name meaning ‘leaping water’ representing the many trips to many countries she made as a tiny embryo.”

Georgie also paid tribute to the surrogate mother who is from Georgia. “To hold our surrogate mother’s hand with Tahlie between us and knowing we will forever be connected has changed me forever. She has given us the greatest gift of our lives. We are so grateful to the kindness and love we have received in Georgie and we cannot wait to come home as a family of five”.
