The Instagram post was a picture of an ultrasound accompanied by a quote that read, “There is no foot too small that it cannot leave an imprint in this world”. A little while ago, the couple found out that Sammi was pregnant in a completely coincidental situation. Having always championed IVF, a natural conception almost felt like a dream they never dreamt of.
