Married at First Sight's Jamie Otis and Doug Hehner are pregnant with their second child after tragically losing their first child during Otis' pregnancy last year.
The reality show couple sat down with People to discuss their exciting news about this pregnancy and what joy it has filled them with since they were devastated by the loss of their son in July of 2016, four months into Otis' first pregnancy.
“We are feeling so blessed and truly thankful for this little miracle growing inside of me," Otis said. "Being a mother has been a long awaited dream of mine. It goes without saying that Doug is going to be the best daddy ever. We cannot wait to meet Baby Hehner this coming summer!”
Otis goes on to say, “Doug and I have been praying and not so patiently waiting to have our rainbow baby since we lost our first born, Johnathan Edward."
Otis and Hehner announced the news of their second pregnancy, sooner than later, via Instagram because they're so excited and overjoyed at the prospect of becoming parents. There is a taboo surrounding announcing one's pregnancy early-just on the off-chance the pregnancy doesn't make it to full-term, but Otis and Hehner have already suffered that loss once and want to celebrate this joyous occasion instead of hiding it.
Congrats!
