‘Sometimes life blesses you with surprises’: he happily shared this baby scan on Instagram on Wednesday when he announced the happy news
‘We were going to have two children and it was a surprise. I didn’t find out I was pregnant until about five and a half months pregnant.
‘I had no symptoms, I had nothing to indicate that I was pregnant. One day, I felt something move in my body and said, “Nick, there is something wrong. I think I need to go to the doctor. Something is wrong with me.”
Lauren said she shouldn’t have any more children due to her medical history of miscarriages and feared she might have a tumor.
She feared she was seriously ill instead of pregnant and revealed that they were considering renting.

The couple said they considered their news a ‘blessing’, especially after 2020 was a very difficult year for everyone.
The couple welcomed their second child in October 2019 and Nick took a sweet photo of the delivery room with a touching caption.
The image captured a moment of tenderness with Nick’s family leaning over to kiss his wife’s head as she rocked the newly born baby.
He wrote: ‘For my incredibly strong wife … For 2 years I saw you endure some of the most difficult things that a husband could ever witness.

“Going through the ups and downs of pregnancy, in the hope that maybe, with a little help from above, we will get to this point.
‘I will never forget the moment when you asked me what I wanted for my birthday, I didn’t say anything. But deep down I knew what I really wanted.
‘So, on January 28, 2019, when I left that bathroom with that positive test, I already knew that Saoirse was coming back to us.’
He continued: ‘I just want to thank you for giving me the Life, Love and family I always wanted. You are a true warrior and I love you. ‘
The couple married in 2015 after a two-year engagement.

In April 2019, Nick announced that Lauren was pregnant with her second child.
He accessed social media to share a lovely photo of him holding his wife while his son touched his mother’s belly.
‘Thank you, God, for giving us the greatest gift we could ever ask for. #felicity # pregnant # family ‘, he said at the time.
Eight months before that pregnancy, Kitt had suffered a miscarriage. The loss hit Nick hard.
‘God give us peace during this time. I was really looking forward to meeting you after 3 months. I’m heartbroken, ‘he said.
‘I don’t think I can act tonight. I’m sorry, Lima ‘, he added.
His wife also shared her pain, while sharing a photo of her ultrasound.
“As a woman, I must create life and fail to do so is like a failure as a human,” she said.
‘I accept the circumstances that are beyond our control and I have overcome my losses. Days like today remind me of how fortunate I am to have a healthy child and how EVIL women are, how much we endure with a smile on their face.
‘If you are struggling to start a family or have had a loss, this position is for you, you are not alone and there is always hope. Fortunately, I have access to great doctors and health professionals, but unfortunately many women do not.
She also suffered a loss before welcoming Odin.
“It was very difficult for Nick and just seeing him get so excited about something and then just seeing him so hurt,” she said.
