Congratulations are in order for Stacey Solomon and her fiancé Joe Swash, who have announced that they are expecting a second child together. The TV personality revealed the news last night on Instagram, with an adorable snap with Joe and her sons Zach, 13, and Leighton, nine, and two-year-old Rex, posing on a bench where they had painted their handprints.
'We are growing another pickle,' the 31 year old wrote. 'We’ve never felt so grateful… I have no words. We didn’t think we would get the chance. We love you all to the moon and back. Lots of love From Me, Joe, Harry, Zach, Leighton, Rex, and our little pickle.’
Also in the post, Stacey - who shares Rex with Joe - disclosed that she had been trying to conceive with Joe for a while, but endured miscarriages, and shared a medical form which said she had sadly been through a 'complete miscarriage' and a photo of a negative pregnancy test. Stacey added: ‘For a really long time we have been trying for another pickle… It didn’t work out and this was our news quite a few times… We decided we were so lucky already to have our boys. It is our biggest privilege in life and we are so grateful to be parents so we stopped trying and counted ourselves so so so blessed already.'
The star also posted on her Instagram story, saying she hadn't felt OK for a while, but was hesitant to go to doctors and check if she was expecting. 'For a while now I've felt so yuck and even though I thought about what it felt like I didn't even want to go and check at first because well, just because you know (I don't like to write it),' she added. 'But yesterday we went to check what was going on. And we were so grateful to hear an extra heartbeat in my tummy. We honestly couldn't believe it.'
Also, adorably, she shared a video of her and her boys working on the wendy house, to get it ready for when their little one arrives. Joe and Stacey are set to get married at their gorgeous Essex home next month.
