Why Shawn Johnson Wasn’t Expecting to Have a Baby This Year

And the Nashville residents can’t wait to watch their “very sassy, very opinionated” toddler embrace her role as big sis. “I don’t have siblings,” Shawn noted. “Andrew has four and they’re all very close together. I love seeing that bond that they have, so it was kind of a dream of mine to have kids pretty decently close so they could grow up together and be pretty close.”

Though, to be clear, she’s put the ixnay on the 29-year-old former NFL long snapper’s dream of having a brood as big as the one he grew up with in Indianapolis. “If we’re really ambitious, we might go for a third, but right now I think we’re set on two,” she stressed. And with Baby East set to arrive three months before her daughter’s second birthday, said Shawn, “I’m so excited to see Drew’s reaction and to watch her nurture a sibling. I’m excited for all of the milestones again.”

Just a year and a half removed from her last pregnancy, the Iowa native, 29, expected it to be a bit like riding a bike. Just, you know, with more nausea and exhaustion. “I thought it would feel like old hat,” she said. “But I forgot everything! I even forgot what I can’t eat. I was like, ‘What is happening?'”
