Days after sharing her pregnancy news with the world, Jessie revealed that Eric was shocked by the development. “[Eric] didn’t believe me, actually. He thought I was playing a joke on him … but I would never joke about something like this,” she told fans during an Instagram Story Q&A. “He literally thought [my then-pregnant sister] Sydney peed on a stick and we were, like, messing with him.”
Once Jessie assured Eric that she was not kidding, he became excited about their growing brood. “I was like, ‘I’m not joking. This is real,’” she recounted. “It was a shock for a while there, but then as soon as he knew it was real, I mean, you know him. … We love kids, so we’re like, ‘Yeah!’”
As for whether the pair were trying to get pregnant, Jessie divulged that they were not. “I’ve gotten this question the most, probably. It was not planned,” she said. “We were very, very surprised.”

While noting that the couple’s children were “so excited” to have a younger sibling, Jessie expressed her gratitude as well. “I love being a mom and it was God’s plan for me to have another,” she added. “I’m so grateful. … Being able to have another little baby is, like, the most incredible blessing.”
