So while they’re “so excited and cannot wait for this little person,” said Shawn, they’ve experienced a whole gamut of emotions since they first started trying last summer.
“I am fully aware we are still so blessed,” she acknowledged. “Ten months is nothing, like, nothing. We’ve had friends trying for years and years and years. But with every passing month, it gets frustrating and it gets even more less romantic. And it just becomes a thing and so when you finally get a positive test you’re like, ‘Okay, what is this going to mean? Will it be positive in a week?'”
Should all go to plan, Shawn will undergo her third—and final—c-section in late fall.
“I feel like at the moment, our family is complete with three,” she shared. And while Andrew, who has four siblings, is less convinced, “I said, ‘Well, I can tell you this, this will be my last Pregnancy.’ I’m up for helping babies around the world who need families. I think we can have that conversation later if that’s something we want to talk about. But this will be our last pregnancy.”
