“My gosh, what a journey it has been until now,” she began the caption.
“This little bundle is moving around so much and definitely keeping their mama awake at night!!
“To feel the movement inside is a feeling of pure love and joy. It is a feeling that I will forever treasure.”
“This recent part of the journey has taught me how to slow down and nurture my body more than ever before,” the mum-to-be went on.
“I am loving all that you have already changed in me, my little one. Less than halfway until we meet.”
One fan reacted to the video, writing that her “bump is coming along beautifully”.
“Over halfway now, How exciting. Your baby bump is the sweetest,” another said.
“Enjoy every moment,” added another.
Delezio announced her pregnancy in April, posting a series of photos taken on a beach.
“The greatest gift of all, coming in September!” she wrote.
Salerno’s arms were wrapped around her and her burgeoning baby bump, which was visible under a white dress.
In another photo, Delezio shared a recent ultrasound picture of her baby.
Delezio and Salerno became engaged last year.
Delezio suffered serious burns when a car crashed into her Sydney day care centre in 2003, when she was just two years old.
In a second devastating accident, she was hit by a car near her home in 2006 when she was five.
Delezio grew up with all of Australia behind her as they watched her remarkable recovery from the two shocking incidents.
She and Salerno became a couple during the COVID pandemic in 2021, after Salerno popped the question on Valentine’s Day in 2023.
“She turned to me, and I was down on one knee bawling,” he told The Australian Women’s Weekly after the proposal.
“Our go-to song is ‘Be My Baby’ so I just asked if Sophie would be my baby and luckily, she ticked the box on the back of the scrapbook that said yes.”
