“Way too many tacos at lunch,” she joked in the post. “Seriously though, as scared as I am to have 3 under 3, I’m so grateful God picked me to be the mommy to my kids and we can’t wait for number 4 to get here! This pregnancy has been filled with lots of hot wings, ranch dressing, an emergency appendix surgery at 6 months, and swollen ankles all day every day but I wouldn’t change it for the world.”

The 31-year-old added that they are keeping the baby’s sex a surprise, writing, “My little tribe can’t wait to meet their new brother or sister (it’s a surprise!) in the next couple of weeks!”
