"We were so surprised when they told us Lewis was the first baby," Ms Winsall said.

"Lewis was the first and I think they had four the time we were there and they were all boys."

Ms Winsall said being pregnant during 2020 was hard.

"I had to go to every appointment by myself, Shaune wasn't allowed in and George wasn't allowed in," she said.

"The hardest part was not knowing what to do with George during visits. Lewis was fine, I didn't have to worry about my pregnancy, it was finding a place for George."

"I would have to try to find a babysitter because Shaune is a high school teacher and was remote teaching and couldn't take time off."

Lewis was a name both parents like and Thomas is Rebecca's Pa's middle name.

Lewis was born a week early via C-section and was originally due on January 14.

Ms Winsall said the best part of having Lewis here is seeing her two boys together.

"Seeing George as a big brother is the best part," she said.

Mr Winsall's family are in Warracknabeal where he was raised and Ms Winsall's family is in Geelong but they have been able to go and meet most of their family.

"The hospital for NorthWest opened their doors to visit, so Lewis was able to met Shaune's grandparents," she said.

"That was very exciting. We hadn't seen them since Christmas but even then we weren't allowed in."

She said her experience at Wimmera Health Care was amazing.

"We were in Wednesday and out Friday. We were home by Friday night," she said.

"It's going to be challenging but we've got to look on the positive side."

"We've got a few things to look forward to so it's got to be better."

Her advice for new parents and those expecting is to not stress about not being allowed visitors are the hospital.

"You're not going to be as stressed as you're going to expect to be," she said.

"I was worried about not being allowed more than one visitor but it was actually quite nice. We just got to chill."
