Freedman and husband Charlie Rundle thanked staff at the Sydney Children’s Hospital.

Baby Will weighed 2.5kg and measured 49cm at birth “with long legs, blue eyes, fair hair and chubby cheeks”.

“He has already bought us infinite joy and love, despite his speedy arrival,” she wrote.

“He is a beautiful, loving baby. Dad (Charlie) has been a total rock during the moments where I have struggled emotionally with having a premmie. I couldn’t imagine my life as a Mum without Charlie. We can’t wait to take our little guy home.”
