In preparation for the newborn Jules has been working with The Block's Mitch and Mark to create a nursery in her home.

She had decided to make the space gender neutral. They decided on a cactus decal for the walls, grey carpet and added a chandelier pendant light.

Jules and Cam, who got married legally on November 19, 2019, first announced they were expecting a baby in an interview with Stellar magazine in April.

Jules, 38, admitted that she didn't think she would fall pregnant as easily as she did because of her age. She also believed focusing on something else — the launch of her shapewear line, Figur — meant she wasn't "obsessing over it".

The weekend the couple learned they were going to be parents was when Jules was shooting the campaign for Figur. She'd taken a test because she had been feeling "so sick", then their baby joy was confirmed at a doctor's appointment.

Cam, 36, cried when he found out he was going to become a father. "It's a big step and I've never done this before," he said.

It's a very exciting time for the couple and we're looking forward to seeing more updates on baby Oliver Chase Merchant.
