Form Skating With Celebrities contestant and Good Day L.A. cohost Jillian Barberie is expecting her first child in July. "We're both thrilled," Barberie says. "I feel like I'm at a place in my life where I just am really happy. I never thought I wanted kids – I was a career girl all these years! I never thought about it before until him."
The baby is due on July 7 exactly one year after the couple married.
The couple is planning to find out the sex of the baby next week. "My husband thinks it's a boy," she says, "Yesterday I saw him on the monitor and he was boxing! It could be a girl – a little tomboy, which I kind of was."
The pregnancy is a relief for Barberie, who was concerned about being able to conceive after 40. She had previously suffered a miscarriage in 2004. "I was pregnant a couple of years ago with a guy that I was dating, and I thought, well, I'm 38, and I'll keep the baby because who knows if I'm going to have the chance," Barberie says.
"When we got married I said, you know, I think this is something we're going to try at. But (Grant) is very laid back and he said it's just going to happen. He's infectious with his positive thinking. And sure enough, it did! We got pregnant on our first try. I'm very blessed. I would have gone the route of treatment if I had to."
She admits being exhausted as many women are during the first trimester and has been having major carb cravings. "I'm a big fan of the protein diet, and since I've been pregnant all I've been eating is pasta, potatoes, rice, bread," she says. "And I used to be the biggest steak eater. I can't even look at a steak right now. The whole thought of it disgusts me."
