Just four days ago, Amy Huberman and Brian O’Driscoll welcomed their second child, baby Billy O’Driscoll, and it is clear that they are on cloud nine, even if Amy is ‘knackered.’

Amy and Brian, both 35, have taken their little one home, and they have both said some enthusiastic things on Twitter following the birth of Billy, who was born at Holles Street Hospital on Thursday.

‘Man I’m looking forward to simple things. Like buttons. And zips. And cans of Dutch Gold,’ tweeted new mother Amy this morning.

We can assume the Dutch Gold thing is a joke.

Amy and Brian also both tweeted in response to a coffee shop sign that offered free coffee for Billy.

‘He’s off coffee til at LEAST next week but if I send him in can he collect one for his Ma? #knackered’ said Amy.

‘Son, if I can give u one piece of advice, never look a gift horse in the mouth!’ added Brian.

When another new dad tweeted the former Ireland star saying he welcomed a baby on the same day, Brian replied ‘big congrats to u guys too.’

Plus, Brian tweeted this funny response to a fan:

Billy is the couple’s second child, after Sadie was born in March 2013.

Speaking about how Sadie would take to a sibling, Amy said that she wouldn’t ‘understand at all, not a bit.’

‘It’ll be a new thing for her to play with – I’m sure she’ll understand by November, she’ll be well up to speed,’ she said.

‘Brian is feeling very excited – so it’s all change. Two kids, it sounds so responsible.’

Amy had quietly told friends and family of Billy’s arrival on her private Facebook page on the day of the birth.
