Taking to Instagram to make the announcement, media consultant Carrie, 37, not only shared a first photo of the new addition to their family, but the sweet nickname for their newborn daughter.
“Welcome to the world Poppy Eliza Josephine Johnson born on 21st May. Aka Pops, Pop Tart” Carrie penned highlighting the sweet moniker. “I can’t believe how pretty and tiny you are. Feel so incredibly lucky. We are all totally smitten. Not sure I’ve slept a minute since you were born as can’t stop looking at how completely lovely you are.”
The carousel of photos shared showed not only little Poppy in her Moses basket, but also a shot of the Conservative politician holding his daughter, and one where Poppy was surrounded by her doting siblings.
“Wilf, Romy and Frank are utterly delighted, particularly Romy who was desperate for a little sister. Bring on the matching dresses. A final gang member,” Carrie said of her three older children.
