Desiree Hartsock is having a boy!
The former Bachelorette revealed to Us Weekly that her first child with husband Chris Siegfried, who she chose on her season of the show, will be a boy.
The expecting mom, who has just entered her third trimester, is overjoyed to be welcoming her firstborn.
"It makes it all more real and, like, this is really happening!" Hartsock said. "We have a name picked out! We're keeping it in our back pocket right now, but that'll be a surprise to everyone!"
Siegfried added that he and Hartsock didn't care if they had a boy or girl- they're just excited to welcome their new arrival.
"Well, we were planning on just doing a dinner and keeping it very private and only between us, but we walked out of the ultrasound and we had the card in our hand and thought, 'Or we could do this right now,'" he shared. "We just couldn't wait, once we found out. … We didn't care if it was a boy or a girl. But it was so nice to know."
The couple announced the news by writing "It's a boy!" on a baseball, and while Siegfried said he can't wait to play some ball with his son, he won't push anything.
"But whatever happens, we are not going to be one of those parents that says, 'You have to do this,'" he said. "He can be an artist, just live his life! We don't care."
And although Hartsock is nearing the end of her pregnancy, she revealed that she's been feeling good.
"I've actually been feeling pretty great, now that I just hit the third trimester," she said. "In the beginning, it was pretty rough. I was really tired all the time and my cravings have been so random. Every day is something new."
