Jessica Trout also posted the video on her Instagram page and talked about the new chapter of life that her and Mike are entering. It features clips of Jessica finding out she is pregnant on Thanksgiving eve and anxiously waiting for her husband to get home so she could tell him the exciting news.
After Mike's adorable reaction, the post takes us through the couple telling their family and friends and includes some photos with tiny shoes and a onesie.
"Ahh! We're having a baby boy! Entering this new season (of life & ⚾️) with completely full & grateful hearts! We've prayed long & hard for this," she wrote in the caption.
She went on to discuss her brother, who died in August of 2018.
"From my due date being two days before my brother's birthday, to finding out we were having a boy... We sure miss you Aaron Joseph, but I can already feel you smiling down on this sweet little boy & we can't wait to tell him all about his Uncle Aaron!"
Mike and Jessica have been married since 2017.
