"We went to the moon and back to get you and we can’t wait to spend the rest of our lives watching you grow #babyboy #twomoms #twomums."

"Nothing prepares you for this moment in life but I am so overwhelmed with love and proud of Ella.
"We can’t wait to start this new chapter with baby Adams."
The pair revealed in February that Ella was pregnant with the couple's first child and announced in April that they were expecting a boy.
Nicola, 39, said: "It's super cool. I'm excited, happy, nervous and just
wondering what to expect.
"All my friends have boys, so I was like: 'Yes!' when I found out."
To reveal the news they were expecting a son, the couple threw pink and blue at a blank canvas before covering it with a rainbow of paint
splatters and handprints and peeling back vinyl letters to show the
words "It's a boy".
And the pair were keen to reject gender stereotypes when revealing the baby's sex.
Influencer Ella, 24, previously explained to HELLO! magazine: "Being
part of the LGBTQ community, I am aware of the issues surrounding gender reveals, as they often reinforce gender stereotypes.

"I thought this was a good opportunity to bring awareness to the
difference between sex and gender and make it less stereotypical.
"We started off with the pink and blue, then got rid of it."
