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."

Irwin, 22, and Chandler, 23, married in March at the Australia Zoo and announced last month that they were expecting a "Baby Wildlife Warrior due 2021." Irwin, who won "Dancing With the Stars" in 2015, wrote in an Instagram post when announcing her pregnancy that she was still in her first trimester and wanted her fans to "be part of our journey from the beginning of this new life chapter."

"We couldn’t wait to share the news as this beautiful little being has become the most important part of our lives," she added. "Your support means the world to us. Please let me know your best advice and send good vibes & prayers to our little sweetheart."
