AceShowbiz - Emily Maynard is adding a new member to her growing family. She is pregnant with her third child. It will be her second one with husband Tyler Johnson. She gave birth to their first child, a son, last July a year after getting married. She also has a daughter Ricki, now 10, with the late NASCAR driver Ricky Hendrick who died in a 2004 plane crash.
"The Bachelorette" alum wrote on her blog, "Well.. I'm pregnant. Again. And before you even say anything, yes, I realize I just had Jennings like, 2 seconds ago. I guess I should've read that part in the baby handbook that says you're super fertile after giving birth, huh?"
"When this baby gets here, Jennings will be about 15 months old and even though I'm sure he'll have no clue what's going on, I feel a little guilty just because he didn't get to be the baby for very long!" She added. "Ricki is just so excited because now she gets to move into the playroom which happens to be the biggest room in the house."
She went, "I have a hard enough time getting through the grocery store with a 7 month old and a 10 year old! How in the world do you mamas do it with even more little ones? I've already come to terms that my body may never be the same as it was before, my house my never be as clean as it is now, and laundry may get put off a little longer, but does anyone have any must haves or tips for 2 under 2? Goodness knows I can use all the help I can get!"
"With all that said," she continued, "I truly couldn't be more excited and I said about two weeks after Jennings was born that I couldn't wait to have another, I just had no clue it would happen so quickly! Some of my closest friends have had a really hard time getting pregnant and my heart breaks for them, so I'm just so grateful for this blessing God has given our family."
She said of her husband, "Tyler comes from a family of 4 boys and they couldn't be closer, so I'm really looking forward to Jennings having a built-in best friend, whether it's a boy or a girl. Rick is really hoping it's a girl so she can teach her how to be a tomboy and play soccer!"
