Double the joy for Mildura kinder teacher on Mother’s Day

WHILE Mildura kinder teacher Alexandra Morello is no stranger to being surrounded by children, she is celebrating her first Mother’s Day as a mum tomorrow.

Ms Morello gave birth to twin boys Ted and Toby just seven weeks ago, and said the experience has been “life changing”.

“There is a long history of twins on my dad’s side of the family — they are everywhere,” Ms Morello said.

“Even considering that twins were so common in my family, I never really believed I was pregnant with twins until they were actually here.

“Being a mum has changed my life in so many ways, all for the better. I have found a love that I never knew existed.

“I love being a mum, it’s the greatest job I will ever have.”

Ms Morello said she will be spending tomorrow relaxing with her twins, fiance and extended family.

“I hope all the beautiful mums out there have a lovely day — Mother’s Day can be a really difficult time for those who have lost their mum.

“Whether you are a mum to children, your fur babies, a step mum or waiting to become a mum, I hope everyone has a special day full of love and happiness.”
