“We decided to find out the gender privately at home with just the two of us so that we could have a special moment,” Alexa told PEOPLE. “We got some cupcakes with the color icing either being pink or blue.”
Brennon also shared his excitement with PEOPLE, adding that the two preferred to celebrate the special moment with their dogs.
“Being raised with four brothers and no sisters, I initially was very nervous to be a girl dad since I was unaware of what that might entail for the future,” Brennon continued. “Over the past several months, Alexa and I have been nesting for our daughter.”
“I am still very nervous to be a dad, but I know that I am going to love and care for my daughter. I am certain our daughter knows she already has us wrapped around her little finger.”
The couple first exclusively shared their excitingpregnancy newswith PEOPLE in January.
“We wanted this to happen and so we’re just grateful to be here,” said Alexa at the time. “It’s been such a big part of my life [and] I’m the worst secret keeper … so I’m ready for it to be out there!”
“I just love looking in the mirror, because I remember not being pregnant and looking in the mirror and [thinking], ‘Oh, I just can’t wait for something to be there,'” she continued. “Now there is, and I’m like, I love it! I just lay my hands on my stomach and just rub it all the time. I’m obsessed.”
