Jeena Johnson & Val Chmerkovskiy are gonna experience parenthood soon.
The Dancing with the Stars couple, Jeena Johnson, 28, and Val Chmerkovskiy, 36, are expecting their first baby together as Jeena is pregnant after enjoying their wedding around two years as they got married in 2019.
Jeena Johnson was exclusively interviewed by the People, Johnson revealed that
"We got home [from a trip to Cabo] and about two weeks later I was like, 'Wait a minute, my boobs are feeling very big and very sore. I haven't started my period yet.' So I peed on a stick and immediately it just turned positive,"
"The shock and just disbelief was insane. I couldn't believe it because it it wasn't an easy journey for us to get pregnant."
"But everybody tells you, 'When you just relax and you don't put the stress on yourself, it happens for you.' That's exactly what happened, I think it was exactly when it was meant to be. Our little baby was created with a lot of love. It all seems so magical and meant to be."
"I went and I got these little Baby Jordans, these white sneakers, I put them in a box that was his size of Nikes. So he didn't expect anything. Then I put two little pregnancy tests in there. I had been shaking at home waiting for him to come home. So he nonchalantly walked in and he, ironically enough, had a bag of Nikes. I was like, 'Did you go shopping today?' He was like, 'Yeah, I got myself some new sneakers.' I'm like, 'No way. I got some too today.'"
"He came over and chucked off the lid of the box and started rummaging through it, He looked at the shoes and was like, 'How small are these sneakers?' Then it hit him and his face ... it was priceless."
"The first trimester is a scary time and there's so many things that can go wrong, potentially, I just have taken this time to really relax and try to stay calm and keep my body healthy. Which has been hard, because I'm a really active person. I love to work out. I love to dance. But I've just made it a priority for myself to really make a shift and to prioritize the baby and what was happening and all of these new changes."
"One of the best things for me was finding peace and not having to feel like I needed to be so busy and insanely active, I think I'm just giving my body the necessary rest. I think that's the best thing I can do for myself. It's also just taught me that I can be okay with downtime. I don't need to overwork myself."
"Every day when I look in the mirror and I get bigger and bigger, it just hits me what's happening,"
"I just think I try to find ways to be super grateful and find moments of gratitude. I started a little gratitude journal. Just every day I write what's happening in my body. What I've liked. What I don't like. But just how magical the experience is. So I think trying to keep my mind in that mindset has been really helpful for me."
"Val is just so funny in this whole experience, He is obsessed with my body growing. He's just obsessed with everything. The boobs, the butt, the belly. So for him to be so sweet and positive about my body, has just made me feel so beautiful."
"I've been eating it in abundance, Watermelon. Mangoes. Papaya. Pineapple. I could probably pound hundreds of them in one sitting. As well, smoothies. Cold smoothies always sounded good. Now, I would say my cravings are pickles. Seriously, I could crack open a jar of pickles at any time of the day and be so stoked."
"If he is anything like he is as a husband, he's going to be the best dad in the world, He is so selfless and loving. Between the two of us, is by far the more patient one. So I think, all of these little attributes are going to just make him an incredible dad.'"
"When I see him with little kids, he's the best, He's always the favorite uncle. Everybody wants to play with him or do something with him. He's just the best. He just knows how to speak to them and how to handle them. How to make them feel so confident and excited."
Johnson also shared beautiful photos of them and announced the delivery month, she wrote a caption along with a series of photos on her Instagram account,
"Baby Chmerkovskiy coming this January! My heart has grown beyond comprehension while growing this little miracle inside of me. We can’t wait to meet our precious angel"
