Bachelor royalty! The sweetest pics of Sam and Snezana Wood's family of six
We can't get enough of this lot.
On June 1, Snezana reflected on the hectic first month of Harper's life.
"I honestly can't believe it. 4 weeks ago today since I gave birth to my precious little Harper, feels only like yesterday. But at the same time it feels like a lifetime ago that I was pregnant - weird!? Yes? No? 🤷🏽♀️," she captioned this post.
"Weeks have passed but I'm not sure where and how. It's all been such a blur but my goodness I'm so happy & grateful that I was chosen to be my itty bitty little Harper's Mama ❤️❤️❤️."
(Image: Instagram)On May 29, after more than three weeks in hospital, Sam and Snezana were finally able to bring Harper home to meet her older sisters.
"Home time Harper. 24 days and it's finally time to come home 💜," Sam captioned this post.
Snezana gushed over how well Sam handled their stressful and emotional few weeks, revealing she had contracted sepsis after going into labour.
"Our little Harper had an infection and mama here sepsis but you never told me or showed me how serious it was or how worried you were. You stayed calm which kept me calm," she said of her doting husband.
"I asked you to stay with Harper till she was ok, and you did, then you came across to the hospital I was taken to to make sure I was ok, then back again to Harper and so on. It was a lot!"
"Thank you again for being you, thank you for being my strength and helping me get through what has been the toughest most stressful 3 weeks we've ever experienced. You are my everything, I love you to the moon and back and couldn't have gotten through this without you."
While still tending to Harper in hospital, Snezana expressed her sadness over her and Sam's older kids, Willow, four, Charlie, two, and Eve, 16, still having not met their new baby sister.
"I know she'll be home soon enough and her three big sisters will finally be able to meet her but till then it's back and forth to the hospital a number of times a day whilst trying to keep it together," she shared on May 17.
On May 4, 2022, Sam and Snez welcomed their third child together, Harper Jones Wood, to the world. Harper was born one month premature, and spent the first three weeks of her life in hospital.
Sam announced the birth of Harper on Mother's day, telling fans that Snezana became "really sick" during labour. "Before we knew it Harper was off to the special care unit and Mum was into ICU," he explained at the time.
He continued on to gush over Snez's strength when Harper was taken away for treatment, saying: "Of course in true Snez Mum fashion her only thoughts were for her little baby, and it was breaking her heart that she couldn't hold her."
Sam knows how to appreciate the women in his life! His refreshingly sincere devotion was palpable when he posted a string of photos from a family holiday and gushed, "Beautiful daughters Beautiful wife Beautiful family …and beautiful part of Australia. Life is wonderful."
(Image: Instagram)Every mother has those days where the whole household needs their guiding eye, but all you want to do is lay down, and Snez, while pregnant, seized her opportunity for some repose. The mother of girls was so excited to relax (even though she still had jobs on her mind) that she shared a picture of her lying down to celebrate the moment.
Her accompanying caption is way too relatable because every mum needs to turn a blind eye here and there.
"🙌🏽🤍 …a rare quiet moment in my life where I can close the door and just sit for a minute (….and pretend the kitchen sink isn't full and lounge/living area isn't over run with toys. I can also pretend @samjameswood and @eve.vict don't have shoes scattered throughout the house - this morning I counted FOUR pairs of Sam's and THREE of Eve's and that was in the kitchen dining area alone! 😤)," she shared.
Her husband sneakily commented, "You have very big feet baby. They might be yours 😉."
"Our girls go mad for waffles!" Snez captioned this adorable pic of Charlie and Willow getting their sugar fix.
(Instagram)Sam and Snez never waste an opportunity to enjoy a family day out, and their recent activity of choice was the classic merry-go-round!
Charlie and Willow looked adorable in matching outfits while at a Melbourne fair.
Sam, Snez, Eve, Charlie, Willow, and the family's Labrador Hendrix posed in front of their chic Christmas tree during the 2021 silly season.
"Merry Christmas and lots of love from this crazy family of 8 🎄 ❤️," Sam captioned the sweet snap.
On November 25 2021, Sam and Snez took to Instagram to share the exciting news that they're expecting their third child together - another daughter!
"Our 'little' family is about to become 6 with another little girl !!!," Sam captioned this adorable photo of Willow, three, and Charlie, two, kissing their mum's bump.
Sam revealed that they broke the news to Eve, Snez's teenage daughter from a previous marriage, two weeks before.
"Filled with joy to share that we are expecting another little girl. Baby number 4 ❤️," Snez wrote alongside this stunning photo.
(Image: Instagram)"Seriously, how did this goofy kid from Tassie get so lucky 💜," Sam gushed over his wife in the caption of this pic.
(Image: Instagram)What a milestone! "First day of childcare and she's off without a look back 💜 Mum and Dad very distraught 😩," Sam captioned this sweet pic of Charlie, two.

"Happy Fathers Day my love. We love you and appreciate all you do for us - including making us a pancake breakfast on Father's Day! Wooo wooop (Not sure how that happened but I say we make it a new tradition 🤪) We love you," she wrote.
Talk about kid wrangling! Snez, Charlie, Willow, Eve (and of course Hendrix) pose for a sweet pic.

"Trying to stay strong for myself, strong for my family and find the silver linings like my 3 girls spending time together as before we know it Eve will be all grown up and it will be gone," he penned.
The girls have plenty of room to play with mum and dad in the lavish backyard of their Melbourne home.
