The lovebirds, who live in a 'peaceful country home' in the Dandenongs, joked how Sam took three home pregnancy tests before visiting a doctor to confirm the baby.
The former corporate lawyer admitted she didn't expect the tests to be positive, 'but sometimes the universe just takes you where you need to be'.
She acknowledged her morning sickness had subsided and her cravings for 'gherkins and hot chips with vinegar and tomato sauce' were kicking in.
