What a gorgeous photo.
My Kitchen Rules couple Annie and Jason Chesworth have some beautiful news to share. The pair have welcomed their first child together, a baby boy who they have named Theodore.
The cheese-making pair have just shared their first photo of him. The duo captioned the shot with, “Watching #mkr semi-finals! Jason’s going for team@willandstevemkr, I’m going for team @ashpollardmkrand @camilla.counsel, Teddy is undecided.”
Annie, 26, and Jason, 27, previously considered surrogacy and adoption after two years of trying to conceive before they fell pregnant with Theodore, who they have nicknamed Teddy.
The culinary duo initially shared the news of Teddy’s arrival with Woman’s Day. Teddy was born on the 5th of March with a cleft palate, which Jason explained, “The cleft palate we can deal with... He's a beautiful, healthy baby boy.”
The new parents found out about the cleft palate at their 20 week scan, when Annie noticed something different on closer analysis of the ultrasound. Doctors confirmed Teddy did in fact have a cleft palate, which occurs in one in 600 births.
But it was a difficult wait for Annie and Jason who were also told Teddy had increased risk of having Down and Edwards Syndrome.
“The cleft palate we could deal with, but learning about the other potential complications got us really upset,” said Jason.
They waited nervously for 24 hours for the results which they say was, “the worst day of our lives.” But the pair were relieved to find out Teddy was otherwise healthy.
Annie was induced at 37 weeks and gave birth by caesarian section.
