Janette shared the sweet family moments with her followers on her Instagram profile, writing in the caption: "It was so wonderful to have @aljazskorjanec family over for the week. Again, highly spoiled by them! They cooked delicious meals everyday and helped us so much around the house, and of course gave Lyra all the cuddles in the world. Goodbyes are always hard, but as we always say to our families quality over quantity for us. Special memories made that will last forever".

Strictly dancers Janette and Aljaz had previously announced their exciting news of expecting their first child together back in February. They took fans along on their pregnancy journey, and have continued to update them now they are parents. Janette has been open about much of her motherhood journey including her C-section recovery. In an Instagram video, Janette told followers: "A couple of you have been asking how the recovery for me has been going. Today is 22 days since the surgery and, I'll be honest, I feel so much more like myself – this last week, especially. I'm able to go up and down the stairs easily, I can finally sleep on my side – because I was sleeping just sat up for almost two weeks.

"I've been getting better sleep because I've been sleeping on my side and, also, I've got help looking after Lyra. The incision is looking really good and I still feel a little bit of pain, obviously I can't do a lot of things, but the recovery is going so, so, so well."
