'I know some of you have said 'Where's Olly?' Olly is in Germany and all our stuff has been in storage for a couple of months.
'It's a little crazy that I'm moving countries. “I’m actually excited, like it’s obviously going to be a big change.”
Megan revealed that they had to “move the hospitals at the last minute” and that it was “crazy” and “everything a little rushed.”
The original plan was for Olly to return in time for her due date. However, Megan was worried that her partner would miss the birth of their baby.
