More specifically, they revealed that they are expecting a baby boy, and that Nichola is due in September.

“We thought there was a chance I was pregnant but, you never really know until you know for sure,” she recalled to the outlet, explaining how she learned the happy news. “I woke up before Casey on a Saturday morning and snuck into the bathroom to take a Clearblue Digital Pregnancy Test…it VERY quickly said ‘pregnant,’ and I was so excited.”

She continued, joking that, “Only problem was that Casey was still fast asleep! I waited for him to wake up for two full hours.”

“Finally, when he woke up, I immediately showed him the front of the test. He was half asleep, but proceeded to jump out of bed and run around our bedroom celebrating,” she remembered. “It was a life-changing moment, and one we will never forget, thanks to Clearblue.”

The couple is already teasing the baby’s name: “We have one picked, but we’d like to wait to share — you never know if when we see the little guy, we’ll have a change of heart.”

Congratulations to the happy couple!
