“I’m just continuing to expand, both emotionally and physically, but no, we’re really excited,” Brent joked, admitting he’d been “eating his feelings” as of late. “It’s a shift for our family again, in a really big way.”
“And nervous and scared too,” added Berkus, 46. “I think every parent is. Who is this little person going to be?”
