Curry-Lee seemed to be in full shock over her surprise positive test.

"I literally cannot believe this," she said. "I feel like we're acting like we're on our 16th child."

She then explained that her recent thought was that she "might want another kid" in five years. Lee responded, "Not five hours."

"It wasn't even five hours. It was literally two hours after I said that," she explained. "If you're wondering why we don't seem that surprised, more so like, dang, the reality of it really kicked in, kind of. We're putting the kids to bed today, tonight, and I got just doing our normal routine, I got a notification on my phone that said that, from my Flow app, that said that my period was 11 days late. It's not uncommon for it to be late."

She said she took "multiple pregnancy tests" throughout her postpartum days after having daughter Daryn because her periods were irregular. She said she didn't think she was pregnant because it took years and IVF to have her two kids.

"Obviously, there's a lot of emotions. I just started feeling like myself again," she continued. "I just stopped breastfeeding. I just got my body back like myself. I was making plans for my career."

The couple continued to share their real and raw feelings about their third pregnancy.

I remember those trenches."
