Victorious alum Daniella Monet has announced she is expecting her second child with fiancé Andrew Gardner. Monet and Gardner are already parents to son Gio. Now, the mom-of-one has announced their family is adding another member to their clan.
On Friday, Monet announced on Instagram they were expecting baby number two. She posted a photo of herself holding a positive Clearblue pregnancy test as Gardner holds son Gio and gives him a kiss on the cheek. Monet says she is beyond excited to “finally” announce they are expecting a second child together. She tells her followers on Instagram that she has “so much to share.” The former Nickelodeon star also said it was the best nine-year anniversary gift ever. Monet went on to share more photos, including one video of an ultrasound sound showing off their second baby.
She directed her followers to take a look at a video on their YouTube channel where she gave more details about her pregnancy, according to PEOPLE. The soon-to-be mom-of-two said she will like schedule a C-section for this pregnancy after going through “extreme measures” to safely give birth to her son Gio, who is almost one. In the eight-minute video, the actress says this pregnancy is different than when she carried her son. She reveals that while pregnant with Gio, she never threw up, but with this baby, she’s already thrown up twice with one being the morning they filmed the video.
The 31-year-old also detailed the moments she told her family members she was pregnant. She even gave a message to people who are also expecting during the COVID-19 pandemic. The actress urged others to know that they are not alone during this “funky time” and that they are all strong. She reassured that they are creating “amazing little humans” who are going to be “absolute game changers.” The Adulting Like a Mother, Father podcast co-host talked to PEOPLE weeks after giving birth to Gio on how life had changed since his arrival. Monet said she was sleep-deprived and taking in many new learning curves, especially as a female. She chose to breastfeed and admits she thought it would be as simple as putting the baby up to the breast and it would work out. However, she developed two different breast infections within two weeks.
She learned from Gio’s birth that she even though she had a birth plan, it did not go the way she thought it would. Now, she realizes that the real plan should be to bring baby into the world safely and make sure they, along with her, are happy and healthy.
