In the honest and unassuming way that only the Irwins can, Bindi took to Instagram earlier this week to give fans a glimpse into the heartwarming moment she not only found out she was expecting, but told her husband about their bundle of joy (via Us Weekly).

"Time stood still" when Bindi Irwin found out she was pregnant

With an intimate look into their lives that only endears her to her fans even more, Irwin shared with her followers that "Discovering that I was going to become a mother will forever be a moment where time stood still" (via Instagram). She details the moment affectionately recalling, "I took a test and ran into the kitchen where Chandler was making us tea. He didn't hear me come in so I speechlessly watched him pouring the water into my most loved hedgehog mug. This news would change the course of our future in the best way. I started crying tears of pure joy and told my sweetheart husband that my test was positive. We were beaming while our adorable puppy Piggy sat on our feet wondering what was going on. It reminded me of just how perceptive animals are."
