Ashley Spiveyis expecting!
TheBacheloralumrevealed on InstagramWednesday that she is just about seven weeks pregnant.
“Plot twist,” she captioned a snapshot of herself holding her ultrasound photos. “As y’all all know, I just went through the IVF process and we had decided to freeze the embryos to give my body a little more time to rest. We planned on transferring in May but I should have known, as with many parts of my life - if you want to make God laugh, tell him your plans.”
Spivey admitted that the pregnancy is still in its early stages, but she wanted to be open with her friends, family, and followers about her journey.
“This is my reality and I don’t want to have to stay silent about it because of taboos or a fear of jinxing it,” she wrote. “I’m scared and I’m nervous but I’m also overjoyed. I’d be lying if I said that I’m not constantly thinking of CJ but I have to think that he had a little part in this.”
