Tyler and Catelynn Baltierra are expecting their third baby.
This would be a special occasion for any couple, but it’s an especially meaningful one for the Teen Mom stars because Catelynn suffered a miscarriage several months ago.
The trauma caused her to check into rehab in order to deal with mounting stres and anxiety – and it also put into question whether the couple could or would have any more chilren.
But… amazing surprise!
They announced Catelynn’s pregnancy two weeks and have been flying high ever since.
Below, meanwhile, Catelynn shares a bunch of special maternity photos snapped by Tyler in celebration of this “rainbow” baby, which is the term, given to a child conceived after a miscarriage.
Check out the gorgeous images now…
A Very Special Photo
This is not just any maternity photo. It’s a unique rainbow maternity shoot in honor of Catelynn’s third child.
#RainbowBaby
Catelynn Baltierra used this hashtag to caption this photo. A rainbow baby is when a woman gets pregnant after having a miscarriage.
Does It Get Any Sweeter?
We’re pretty sure it doesn’t. What else is there to even say about this official photograph?
The Mother-to-Be
Catelynn didn’t hire an official photographer for these images. She used someone she knows and trusts: her husband!
The Vision in Red
Catelynn is a vision in this flowing red dress. We cannot wait to meet her third child.
A Reason to Celebrate
We love what Catelynn and Tyler have done here and we wish them the absolute best on their journey to parenthood again.
Oh, She Also Shared Her Sonogram!
Catelynn Baltierra has given the world an early – a VERY early look – at her third child. Sonogram style, of course.
Of Course, Some People Suck
And this was an actual comment left by an actual readers.
But So Was This!
Baby #3!
This will be the third child for Catelynn and Tyler. They are parents to daughters NovaLee, 3, and nine-year-old Carly, the latter of whom they placed for adoption in the first season of MTV’s 16 and Pregnant in 2009.
It’s Been Quite a Journey
In February, Tyler and Catelynn tearfully confirmed that the latter had recently suffered a miscarriage.
The Ultimate Trauma
“It’s very traumatic,” Tyler explained to a producer after it happened. “When you see her shaking and she’s got blood everywhere … you don’t really know what to do.” After it happened, we”just sat in the bed and cried and just held each other,” he added.
In Need of Professional Assistance
Catelynn checked into rehab in response to the miscarriage, admitting later on that she was suffering from stress and anxiety and even had suicidal thoughts. We can’t even imagine.
And Now… The BIG News!
“The big news is that we are expecting our rainbow baby. This baby is our rainbow after the storm. I’m super excited,†Catelynn told Us Weekly of the unexpected pregnancy. “It was a huge shock at first. We were not planning it, especially after the miscarriage and how I went downhill with my mental illness.”
She Added in This Interview:
“We were going to wait a really long time. We were using protection and everything and still got pregnant. This baby just wanted to be here. It was very unexpected.”
Will It Be a Boy or Girl?
They don’t know yet, but they’ve had two girls already and Catelynn is fine admitting that a change would be welcome. “I think we both want a boy for sure,” she has said.
When is She Due?
Catelynn has confirmed it: March 6, 2019. This means the child will be a Pisces, for those curious about such things.
What a Beautiful World It Now Is
Catelynn just shared this message on Instagram as well, writing as a caption to it: “And what an amazing feeling that is.”
CONGRATS TO THE COUPLE!
They’ve been together for 13 years and celebrated their three-year wedding anniversary in July 2018 and we are so very happy for them.
