Otis was shocked after knowing she was pregnant

Otis, with all excitement, shared,

“I was so shocked!”

She further added,

“I was pretty certain it was another boy. If you follow the old wives’ tales, I had no symptoms of [having a] girl.”

The 30-year-old reality star mentioned how much she is excited to share her love with her daughter. In the memoir Wifey 101, she stated the complicated relationship with her mother, and now she is flying high as a kite. She said,

“I’ve always wanted to have that mother-daughter relationship that I missed out on with my mom,”

The excitement of Otis can be figured out with her words, right? Moreover, Otis revealed that she secretly hoped her daughter to be mini her.

“I secretly hoped to be a mommy to a little girl and to have a little mini me.”

During an interview, she opened up about the new member who is due to arrive this fall.

“My husband and I are beyond thankful and excited for this new little miracle growing inside me. We feel so blessed and honored and excited and proud and ahh, so many feelings!’

The pair had shared several snaps before they came out with the gender of their baby.

We are PREGNANT!!! Our sweet Baby Hehner is due this August. Of course I share so much more about our little #rainbowbaby with you all on my blog. (Jamie Otis.com/all-things-Jamie ) @people put the sweetest tribute together for our first born son – Johnathan.

She told her feelings after the miscarriage

Getting back to their loss of the baby before this pregnancy, she stated,

“The moment I lost our sweet Johnny I felt so empty inside, it felt wrong not to have my sweet boy growing inside me. We asked our doctor how long we should wait before trying again and she said we could try again immediately… I was on a mission to be pregnant again. I wanted to fill that void inside me.”

How did they meet?

The pair had met on season one of FYI’s Married at First Sight. Then they went on to marry at first sight in 2015. The first year revealed the ups and downs which the pair have to face post-marriage.

Although they had to face hard times in the first year post-marriage, they successfully overcame all the obstacles together. Confessing the exact reason behind the complexity of the first season, Jamie Otis said,

“I felt obligated to tell my husband how I felt because it almost felt like cheating if I didn’t, I was thinking of my ex. That is not OK in a marriage. I knew I needed to be honest with Doug in order for us to work through it.”
