The couple were in the middle of in vitro fertilization treatments, and had even scheduled a date to transfer an embryo, when they were happily surprised to learn they were expecting, they told PEOPLE exclusively in July.

“It was a huge shock,” said Heather at the time. “We just weren’t expecting this. We had just gone through IVF. We had embryos on ice. We had a plan.”
