"I couldn’t not tell her. It is my first pregnancy, so I have no idea what is to come. Everything feels quite different, and you are going through all these changes mentally, emotionally and physically so I had to tell my mum.
"We told her and she just burst out crying. She was so happy and then we held off on telling the rest of the family until I was three months and that was Christmas time.
"This is the 12th grandchild though. I have six siblings, but I am the baby having the baby so my mum is so excited.
"It was so sweet, everyone was so certain it was going to be a girl and it is.
"I grew up with one sister and loads of brothers so in my head, I was like ‘I am going to have a boy’ but Charlie knew.. he was like ‘No, it is going to be a girl'."
Blathnaid told the RTE Guide she is in full-on "nesting mode".
"I am constantly cleaning and tidying and going up to IKEA, picking up little bits.
"I can’t wait to bring home our gorgeous, hopefully healthy, little girl and have a lovely summer of nesting," she added.
