She also celebrated her first Mother’s Day with a heartfelt post: ‘I am ever so grateful to have joined the magical club of motherhood. It’s the privilege of my life to be your mom, Goosey. The past 11 weeks have unlocked a love so immediate-one I never knew possible. 

‘Sending love to all the mothers and mother figures in our lives and holding space for those who find this day a challenge (those who are on a journey to be mothers, have lost a child or their own mother, have a complicated relationship with their mom, etc…)’

‘Let’s face it, I’m pretty sure you were always destined to be a dad,’ she said in the caption. ‘You’ve written songs about coaching little league for goodness sakes….’

‘But watching you step into this role with so much confidence and ease and patience and adoration for our sweet guy just astounds me and has made me fall deeper in love than I ever thought possible.

‘Every silly face you pull, book you’ve read, record you’ve introduced him, bath time splashes and tummy time smiles you effortlessly elicit… all of it is so much fun to bear witness to. Gus and I are so truly lucky to be on this journey of life with you. Love you the most and Happy Father’s Day, @taylordawesgoldsmith!!’  

Mandy appeared on the Informed Pregnancy podcast and detailed her ‘grueling’ labor after plans for an unmedicated at-home birth went awry and she was denied an epidural at the hospital after her platelet levels dropped exponentially.

Despite her difficult experience giving birth, Moore told host Dr. Eliot Berlin that she is looking forward to having another child.  

‘I’ve said to my husband so many times — and really anyone that has come by that will listen — I’m like, “I can’t wait to do it again.’ As harrowing as the journey was, I miss it.

‘I’m sad that I don’t get to relive it or do it again or something,’ she continued. ‘It’s a hard feeling to describe, but I can look back now with such affection and fondness for myself and what that experience was, because it brought me Gus. 

‘It brought me this child who is my whole world now. And I’m so grateful for it. I’m grateful for how hard it was, because now I have the greatest gift in the way.’
