She recalled,

“I told him it was a birthday present that had gotten delayed, and when he opened it, it was was literally the last thing he was expecting. [It] was just a little box with a onesie that said, ‘Hello Daddy,’ and with a positive pregnancy test in there,”
“And he was completely in shock, He had no idea.”

Carmella is also a stepmom to three children daughters Lola and Lenny and son Cash, from Corey’s previous marriage to Amy Polinsky.

She acknowledges that the three kids are also “so excited” to get a new baby sibling.

If this new baby turns out to be half as smart, talented, funny and kind as my step kids, I’ll be one lucky mama, I don’t know what I did to deserve these kiddos and all of this love, but I wouldn’t change it for the world. Graves and I are just so blessed to be adding to our little family. Warning: you’re gonna need a tissue!!!”

Ahead of the baby’s arrival, she interviewed with PEOPLE reflecting on her pregnancy journey and how she’d been feeling as she got closer to her due date.

She said,

“So it was a struggle for sure. But with how we treated the ectopic pregnancy, I was forced to wait to try again so it afforded me the opportunity to just focus back on work and not stress too much about trying to get pregnant.”
“And it’s so cliché, but everyone says it’ll happen when you’re not trying or when you don’t try so hard and I was like, ‘Yeah okay, whatever,’ but that’s what happened with us,”
