It's been a long time trying to get to this point, but Jamie Otis is pregnant! Otis shared a sweet Instagram post featuring her husband Doug Hehner making the announcement. Getting to this pregnancy hasn't been easy for the couple, as they've dealt with fertility issues and pregnancy loss.

"We went to the fertility specialist and found out WE ARE PREGNANT!!!" Otis wrote, including a pregnant lady emoji. In the picture, Otis is holding sonogram pictures and wearing a look of shock and joy. Hehner is excitedly taking the selfie.

The road to this pregnancy has been fraught. Otis writes: "after 18 long, painful months, two losses and negative after negative on the pregnancy tests we are *finally* pregnant again!" Most recently, she had a miscarriage in January of this year. The couple are parents to Henley, who is two. Before Henley was born, Otis suffered a miscarriage at four months shortly after announcing her pregnancy. She and Hehner named their son Jonathan Edward.

“My sweet angel baby, Johnathan Edward, made me a ‘real’ mommy for the first time. Although I only held him in my arms for a few short hours, I’ve carried him in my heart every.single.day since then,” she wrote in an Instagram post on Mother's Day.

Jamie Otis has never shied away from the difficult conversations around secondary infertility and miscarriage. “For me, I thought having a family would be very easy, so my own misconception about myself was [that] I would be able to have a family very easily,” she said on the Share Your Shine podcast this past spring. “Come to find out, it’s not as easy … and come to find out, one in four women will have these same issues.”

"Of course I am being cautiously optimistic," she writes in her Instagram post. "But I have a feeling this little one is going to stick." After everything she's been through over the last few years of trying to have children, it's understandable that she's nervous.

And in the post, she goes on to share some more news. After receiving a call from the nurse, there are two possible developments. "Based on my last period, I should be about 4 weeks along," she begins, adding what your blood results should be at that stage. She mentions that her blood work came back with significantly higher numbers than expected. "This means that I’m either further along OR I could potentially have TWINS!" she says. According to her, the doctors believe she's probably further along than her calculations, but she adds she "would absolutely love twins!"

At the end of her post, she includes a note to others struggling with their fertility. "I just want to say this: if you’re reading this & are currently in the process of #ttc - oh mama, my heart hurts for you," she begins. "I just want you to know that your rainbow will come too. The storm cant stay forever. Hold onto hope! I am thinking of you!"
