The mom-to-be added, “Everything in my mind that I had envisioned on how I was going to tell him — because we’ve both wanted to be parents and build a family — completely just went out the window. I literally just ran into the other room, I jumped on him and said, ‘We’re pregnant! We did it!'”
At the time, Cooper shared that a lot of joy came from navigating the difficulties of Silas’ deployment in Poland.
“Luckily, we’re able to communicate via WhatsApp every now and again when he has a chance. We take every moment we can, especially with the time difference. It’s hard, but I’m grateful to have a lot of phenomenal women around me.”
Silas and Cooper connected when it came to plans for their little guy, with the mom-to-be admitting, “We have had names picked out for a while for all of our children.”
“It’s exciting. I’m excited to join the boy mom gang,” she shared. “Outside of the cravings (savory, spicy foods) and Pilates getting a little harder to do, it’s been really beautiful. I think my son is really doing me well.”
