Bindi Irwin shares how she learned she was going to be a mother

WATCH: Bindi Irwin reveals she will walk down the aisle with a koala

Bindi Irwin couldn't have been more thrilled to learn of her pregnancy.

In an Instagram post, the conservationist and "Crikey! It’s the Irwins" star wrote that she'll always think of seeing her positive pregnancy test as "a moment where time stood still."

Telling her husband, Chandler Powell, that they were going to be parents was equally thrilling, she added.

"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," Irwin wrote. "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 sat together with tea talking about the future and how we were going to share such wonderful, life changing news with the people that we love," she continued. "In that short span of time the gorgeous baby I'm carrying became the most important part of our lives."

Reflecting on when we found out that we are going to be parents. ❤️ Discovering that I was going to become a mother will forever be a moment where time stood still. 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. We sat together with tea talking about the future and how we were going to share such wonderful, life changing news with the people that we love. In that short span of time the gorgeous baby I'm carrying became the most important part of our lives. It is such a blessing knowing that this tiny person has chosen us as parents. Our baby Wildlife Warrior is going to be so very loved by our families and entire Australia Zoo team. I can’t wait to find out what this amazing new soul loves in life, and experience the world all over again through their eyes.
