“I’m so blessed and lucky my child gets to have the coolest & sassiest Dad on the planet,” continued Abbie at the time. “Y’all know I’ve been asking for this little bean on TikTok all summer. What started as a joke for fun quickly turned into ‘okay let’s do this!!!’ We decided in August it was time to start ‘trying’ & being diagnosed with PCOS I had no idea what my fertility journey would be like.”
