Dana Griffin-Graves and her husband Arkell had given up on having a family of their own.
The couple, who had been trying to start a family since they wed 17 years ago, suffered four miscarriages and a devastating still birth at six months before deciding that they could take the heartbreak no longer.
Talking to ABC 8 News, Dana explained: ‘It was definitely a struggle, a roller coaster with emotions… I just got to the point I was like, “you know what, I wanna stop trying”.’
So when Dana found out she was almost five months pregnant (after a visit to her doctor to find out why she wasn’t losing weight on her new fitness regime), she was understandably extremely shocked and excited.
She was in no doubt that her hubby would be too… what she didn’t know was how to tell him.
Dana knew that she wanted to break the special news in a special way, and that’s when she came up with the plan to surprise Arkell with an actual bun in the oven.
Thankfully Dana also thought to record the whole thing, as Arkell’s reaction was simply gorgeous.
Dana said: ‘His reaction was just priceless – I wasn’t expecting that at all. I knew that he would probably be emotional, but I definitely was not expecting the reaction that I received.’
While Arkell added: ‘I’ve never been that excited before in my life. And not mainly for myself, for her.’
Altogether now: Aaaaaaaaah.
