In an exclusive with Us Weekly, Roloff invites the publication to a second baby shower she had on Aug. 18, revealing she and Jeremy are anxious to welcome their first on Sept. 1, but enjoying these last few weeks alone as a unit of two.
“I’d say we’re very excited, but there are definitely some nerves that come along with it!” Roloff said.
“At this point, we’re just trying to relax and bring some calm back into our life. Jer has the house almost all wrapped up, so now we’re looking forward to spending these last few days just the two of us.”
The 25-year-old mother-to-be shared that one of her favorite parts about pregnancy is experiencing all of it with her doting husband, saying the moments in between she cherishes most.
“You know, one of the best things about big milestones in life is being able to do them alongside your spouse,” she said. “Jeremy has been so patient with me during this process. I really couldn’t imagine doing it without him.”
She goes on to say that she has “full confidence” in knowing that whatever she needs, like a scoop of ice cream, he’ll be off the couch and getting it before she finishes her sentence.
“I feel loved and am thankful for a husband like Jeremy,” she said.
But when it comes to sweets and cravings, the reality star dishes to Us Weekly that she actually hasn’t had too many odd ones.
“I haven’t had very many, surprisingly. I craved sour candy in the beginning and have consistently craved sparkling drinks, but other than that no big cravings…which makes Jeremy’s life a little easier, given all his house projects!” she said.
Roloff went on to reveal that her sister-in-law, Tori Roloff, who welcomed a son with Jeremy’s twin brother, Zach, has been very helpful in the pregnancy process.
“It’s been so fun being able to experience this season of life alongside Tori. She and Zach are always so willing to answer any question we may have, or have us over to hang with Jackson and talk. It’s been great and our sister bond is definitely strengthening through this process,” she revealed.
But even though Roloff and Jeremy have shared their life with viewers, don’t expect any cameras to capture the birth of their baby.
The expectant mama confirmed to Us Weekly that they will be keeping that between them.
“At this point I’m planning on it only being our midwife, Jeremy and our doula. We will have family and friends outside anxiously waiting, I’m sure!” she said.
When it comes to names, the TLC star reveals she and her husband of two years have brainstormed some possibilities, but haven’t exactly decided on one just yet.
“We’ve got one name in mind that we really like, but haven’t fully committed on it yet! We’ll probably name her once we see her beautiful face!” she said.
On Sunday, Roloff took to Instagram to share an update of her pregnancy, revealing she is just a little over 38 weeks now.
“I cannot believe our little girl could come at any moment,” she wrote alongside an image of herself wearing a floral throw. “As nervous as I am for labor and delivery, I love that we don’t get to know exactly when she will come. To me, it’s a beautiful reminder that I’m not in control.”
She adds that it’s all a “reminder to surrender and trust God’s timing and plan because it’s far better than mine could ever be.”
“It’s a reminder that God’s purposes will prevail even if my plans fail,” she added. “Thank you Lord for being the author of life, my comforter, my strength, and my shield. We can’t wait to meet our baby girl…”
