Australian comedian Celia Pacquola and partner Dara Munnis have welcomed their first baby together, a little girl named Eleanor Jessica.

Taking to Instagram today, Celia shares a couple of photos, captioning the post “Our mystery guest has arrived. Hello Eleanor Jessica. 3 kilos of wonderful. Thank you to all the incredible staff at @epworthbabies and @dr_stephencole for taking such good care of us. And thanks to @daramunnis for the 📸 and the 👶 and the ❤️. (The last photo is the post birth meal I ordered with an extra slider which makes it look like I ordered a burger for the baby)

Celia announced her pregnancy in late March with a very cute Instagram post holding a tiny baby onesie pressed to her rounded belly reading “Time Lord in Training” making reference to Doctor Who. She wrote:

“Whoever had ‘Celia gets pregnant’ on their Unprecedented Events bingo card, you can cross it off now. Wild. I’m very happy and yes I miss wine.

📸 & 👶 @daramunnis

Also please consider this my official audition to be the next Doctor Who as I currently have two hearts.”

Many Australian television personalities were quick to send their congratulations under the Instagram post with some very familiar names popping up.

Dave Hughes wrote: “Cray cray! Love it! Congrats!”, while Celeste Barber and Lisa Wilkinson also sent their congratulations.

A couple of fellow Aussie Mummas also commented like recently first-time Mum Dami Im who commented: “OMG CONGRATS!!!!! Welcome to the club of I dunno what’s happening 🙃🙃”

And Tiff Hall who wrote: “So exciting! Congratulations!💕”

Jan Fran who also recently gave birth to her first baby wrote at the time: “Omgosh yay!!! Very many congrats to you. Welcome to Massive Nork town.”

The 39-year-old comedian posted in April a gorgeous set of photographs of her pregnancy progress taken by her partner Dara.

“A timeline in bumps. Getting there. 📸 👶 @daramunnis”

When someone made the comment below the Instagram post that it seemed “a little overboard to use a professional photographer for every single one of the photos”, Dara who happens to be a professional photographer hilariously commented back:

“I’m on a retainer”.

Celia stayed real with her followers throughout her pregnancy, posting some beautiful snaps of herself cuddling with her dogs.

She captioned the images:

“Third trimester feels. Heat packs, pillows & puppies. ❤️ (Not pictured, pubic girdle pain, insomnia & MOODS) 📸 @daramunnis”
