SURPRISE SHAWTY!!!!! I’m very, very unexpectedly pregnant with my second baby from ONE little “whoopsie” hehe. We were not planning or wanting another baby at this point in our life (especially while building a house), BUT God had other plans. We are welcoming this baby with open arms, and I have calmed down since this video was taken LOL! Get ready for ALLLLL of the pregnancy content to come! #pregnancyannouncement #pregnancytest #pregnant🤰 #pregnancyreveal #unexpectedpregnancy

Transcript

I really don't want to be doing this right now, but unfortunately, I have to. One whoopsie. One. One singular mistake was made for me to need to take this. All right. I like to do the cup method. Let's go pee. All right, secured. Y'all, this is so scary. This is so scary. My goal was to get pregnant next July, July of 2027, to have a baby in the spring of 2028, God willing. So this would be, um, you know, speeding things up about a year. Okay, here we go. All right, I'm setting this down. Okay, it's been three minutes. I'm so nervous. Like, okay. Oh my gosh. Oh my gosh. What? It's going to be okay. This is just God's plan. This is just God's plan.
