“The last few years have been a blur of emotions to say the least,” Chrissy—who has been undergoing IVF treatments—wrote on Instagram Aug. 3. Joy has returned to our hearts and home. One billion shots later, (in the leg recently as you can see!) We have another one on the way!”

A photo of her growing bump was shared along with her thoughts. She continued: “Each appointment I’ve thought, ‘OK, if it’s health today, I’ll make an announcement. But then I feel relief when I hear a heartbeat. And I realize I’m too nervous to go to appointments.” “I don’t believe I’ll ever walk out from an appointment with more excitement that nerves, but everything has been perfect so far and it’s making me feel hopeful and awesome.”

Chrissy agreed, “Ok, phew that’s been hard keeping it in for so many years!”
