The couple previously spoke about the moment they met their daughter in an interview withWoman's Day.
"I fell hopelessly in love," Waz told the publication.
Polly, who suffered from postpartum depression after giving birth to Hudson, said she felt more relaxed the second time around.
"My new mantra is if it's not right for mum, it's not right for baby."
Brad and Lara Cranfield, 2012.
After winning $606,000 onThe Blockin 2012, Brad and Lara bought 25 hectares of land in Bishops Bridge, between Maitland and Cessnock in NSW, to build their very own designer home.
But late last year, they decided to move to Byron Bay with their two sons, Harry and Jimmy, who they welcomed after the show.
"Brad was given an exciting and new opportunity to work in the real estate industry through a 'Block' connection – Shelley Craft and her husband Christian. Christian was a cameraman onThe Blockand we became great mates with him while filming and kept in contact afterwards," Lara toldMamamiaearlier this year.
"We decided to give it a go and moved north to Byron, renting out our dream home as we weren't sure if it would work out."
She added: "I cried for three days when we sold 'the farm' but it was the best thing we ever did."
