Whitney, one of the MomTok moms featured on Hulu's hit reality series, "The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives," shared a video on TikTok of her time in labor and delivery last week. She recently announced the arrival of her third baby, son Billy Gene Leavitt.
Whitney told PEOPLE that the name was picked out ahead of time, despite not knowing the baby's gender until birth.
"We've always waited to name our children after meeting them, but with Billy, we fell in love with the name immediately - even before meeting him," she explained. "We loved the gender neutrality in the name since we weren't finding out the baby's gender until delivery, which we've never done before. The name allowed us to feel connected to the baby without knowing the gender."

The couple's other two children thought the new baby to join the family would be a girl.
"Upon meeting Billy, they were a bit surprised that they actually didn't get to decide the baby's gender," she said. "But they've warmed up to him quickly and now all they want to do is hold their new baby brother."
And while her children were thinking pink, Whitney was "very confident" that she was having a boy because the pregnancy was "so similar" to her pregnancy with Liam.
"Finding out the gender in the delivery room was a feeling of greater anticipation that I couldn't wait for," she said. "Finding out we were having another boy was an overwhelming sense of emotion."

Whitney Leavitt Confirmed She Will Be Returning For Season 2 Of 'The Secret Lives Of Mormon Wives'
Earlier this month, fans of the first season of the hit reality show waited anxiously to hear if the show would be picked up for a second season. Once that was confirmed, many noticed that Whitney wasn't a part of the announcements from the other MomTok moms.
Called the "villain" of season 1 by many, fans seemed disappointed that Whitney didn't confirm she would be returning, but they didn't have to wait long to hear what they wanted.
Whitney shared a video captioned, "I think season 2 is about to get wild," which eased the fears for fans who want to see Whitney back in the MomTok group, after leaving at the end of the first season.
Whitney Re-Entered The Chat!
In the video, a voice over says, "What would happen if you just called Taylor up and just say what? Just, you know, what happened?" And then Whitney is seen texting the MomTok chat group. At the top of the text, Taylor Frankie Paul, the leader of MomTok, wrote, "Hey guys added Whit back to the chat!"
Whitney then responded, "Excited to film season 2 with all of you. I know there's tough conversations ahead but I look forward to our journey together."
The video quickly went viral and currently has more than 3 million views and 1,600 comments.
Season 1 of "The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives" is currently streaming on Hulu. Season 2 will be released spring 2025.
