This past March, amid Nicole's pregnancy, she and Victor tied the knot during an intimate ceremony in Orange Lake, Fla. Two months prior, 29-year-old Nicole announced she was expecting a bundle of joy of their own following a four-year romance.
As she prepared to give birth, Nicole clued her 773,000 Instagram followers in on the "many emotions" she was experiencing.
"First off—delivering a baby feels anything but casual," she shared. "So crazy how we were born for this, yet I have to talk myself out of freaking out daily these days."
Nicole continued, "All I know is my life is about to change forever & I have no idea how to even prepare for it!! I'm super excited, mostly nervous and I've never felt like this before. So much unknown. Usually I can visualize most things but I have no idea what to expect & I realize I won't get it until he's in my arms. Then I truly think everything will fall into place."
Sounds like mom and dad are already well on their way!
