S4 E.8 BIG NEWS!
In this EpisodeWelcome back! This week, we’re sharing some very exciting and unexpected news… and it’s for Glow Through It listeners ONLY! Drumroll please…
Adriana is PREGNANT! That’s right, she is 12 weeks pregnant today, and if you feel shocked hearing this news, just imagine how shocked we were when we found out! Adriana got pregnant naturally, which has been difficult for her to wrap her head around. For her whole journey leading up to Ford, Adriana believed herself to be infertile, so she fully expected to go through IVF again to have another baby. In fact, she was almost looking forward to going through IVF again, because that would mean that she and Bill could choose the gender and choose the time when they were ready to have another kid. So safe to say that this news was a bit of a surprise to the both of them!
This time around, Adriana is hoping for a girl (and so is Bill), but we’ll see! However, on her 12 week scan, she saw something on the ultrasound that could only lead to one conclusion about the baby… and we’ll just leave it at that.
The news, as we’ve mentioned, came as quite a shock to Bill and Adriana, which means it has also come with mixed emotions. While Adriana is grateful and so incredibly excited to have another baby, she and Bill hadn’t planned on having another this close in age to Ford, and she has struggled with identifying as infertile for so long, and now having this belief flipped on its head.
The other part that’s been difficult is the constant sickness. For the past three months, Adriana has been down for the count – constantly sick, couldn’t eat or sleep… just awful. She notes how being sick has stolen so much of the joy of being pregnant for her. And for that reason, she doesn’t know if she’ll be able to ever have another kid - this might be it! Luckily, she’s feeling a lot better now.
As for Adriana’s birth plan this time around, she’s looking into midwives as opposed to a teaching hospital, like she had done with Ford’s birth. Midwives are much more open to VBAC (vaginal birth after C-section), which is what Adriana is hoping for, and the team they have met with so far have been amazing! Another amazing part of this whole experience has been the support from Adriana’s mom, Bill, and Nicole – shoutout to them!
In other exciting news, Adriana’s brother and his wife are expecting, too! And they’re having a girl! So at least if Adriana and Bill don’t have a girl, they will have a beautiful niece to be just as obsessed with. Her sister-in-law is due around the same time as Adriana, so the little cousins will be almost the exact same age!
We didn’t only talk babies in this episode, of course. We also talked about our in-house therapy at LWP, and how that came to be. Heather, our therapist, actually reached out to Mariah directly because she had known about the brand and was interested in working with them. Mariah brought the idea to Adriana, and everything kind of happened from there! We are so grateful to have Heather as our in-office therapist. Mental health is something that of course needs to be taken seriously, as it can so greatly affect your work, your productivity, and your life overall. Adriana notes how she HAS to start seeing Heather before this next baby comes. Talking helps so much, and especially with Adriana’s experience with infertility and Ford’s birth, there is a lot to unpack and work through.
We also (obviously) gave some much needed dating updates. Mariah went on another date with the football player on Sunday night. But that’s all the information you get there – check back next week for more on that. We also chatted about advice on moving into your first apartment (just do it) and how Adriana made Mariah who she is (and that’s why she’s TikTok famous).
That’s about all for now! We’ve only shared this news with you so far, Glowphers, so keep it on the down low! BUT when it does come time for Adriana to announce on social media, make sure to go crazy! You all are our biggest supporters, and we couldn’t be more thankful for all of you! Catch you next time!
