Lauren, who is due in April, didn’t realize she was pregnant until she went to a doctors appointment and discovered she was five-and-a-half-months along.
“I didn’t have any symptoms, I didn’t have anything indicating that I was pregnant,” she told People. “One day I just, I felt something move in my body and I said, ‘Nick, there’s something not right. I think I need to go to the doctor. Something’s wrong with me.’ I was not supposed to be able to have any more children, so I never assumed that I was pregnant.”
“I thought I had a tumor because there was just no way that I could be pregnant, from just my medical history and the things that I did to ensure that I just had my two children,” Lauren added. “Even Nick, like a couple of weeks prior to that, was talking about possibly getting a surrogate, possibly having a third child. It was just something we were talking about.”
As the couple prepare to welcome their third child, they have been quarantining in Las Vegas as a family.
“For us, it’s all about just creating an environment for our children that is peaceful,” Nick said.
