Former Bachelorette contestant Trista Sutter and husband Ryan have announced to Life and Style magazine that they are expecting their second child sometime in the spring. They're already parents to Maxwell "Max" Alston, 14 months. Below are highlights from the interview....
On how soon after Max's birth they decided to try for a second baby:
T:I was only on birth control for a couple of months. We thought that if it took us as long as it did with Max — two years — why try to prevent it? So we started trying in January
On concieving so quickly:
T: I was in total shock! I took a few tests, and they all came back negative. But a few weeks after Max’s 1st birthday, all of a sudden I thought to myself, I don’t think I’ve had my period in a while. So I took another test — the line was extremely faint, but it was there!
On telling Ryan the happy news:
T: He was there. I had just taken the test when Ryan came up the stairs. I showed it to him and said, “I think I’m pregnant.” His first words were, “Holy crap!” It was positive shock, one of the best kinds you can have in your life.
Just after the birth of her first child, Trista was quoted as saying she'd like a girl next. But now that she's found herself pregnant again, the 35-year-old says all she hopes for is a healthy baby.
I’m such a girlie girl. But I’ve become really neutral about it all. I just want a really happy and healthy baby. I know that sounds cliché, but it’s the God’s honest truth. I would love to have a little girl, but I also love having a boy. Ryan has a brother, and they’re about the same age difference as Max will be with his new sibling. So it would be fun to have two boys, too.
If we don’t have a girl, I’ve thought about the possibility of adopting. It came up in conversation because I’m leaning toward having my tubes tied! I think I’ll be happy with two kids. But then again, I was perfectly happy with just having Max. If we hadn’t been able to get pregnant again, I was 100 percent happy with my life. This new baby will just add a little bit more life and spirit and happiness and fun!
