Country singer Lauren Alaina, 30, is growing her family.
Alaina announced her pregnancy in the music video for “That Kind of Women.”
At the end of the video, the camera pans to the baby’s nub, who is standing by the crib with the mother cradling the baby.
Lauren is pregnant with her first child with husband Cam Arnold, but her belly wasn’t real in the video.
she said people magazine, “When we shot the video, there was almost no bump, so I actually put it in.” [fake] I bumped my pregnancy bump to make it bigger and let people know visually what was going on. So I wore a baby bump for the music video, and it’s so funny. Now that it’s published, it looks pretty close to what I see in the video. ”
Speaking about her actual pregnancy, Alaina said:[I didn’t know] You can love something you have never actually had. I feel like there’s a baby inside me and it’s kicking me and doing all sorts of things. I felt like I was the Grinch or something, and my heart grew bigger. ”
The pregnancy news comes nearly a year after Lauren and Cam got married.

She said of her man: Walking through this experience with him was incredible. My husband is looking forward to becoming a father. He is so obsessed with our animals. He is generally a great nurturer. In fact, when I was preparing to marry him, I knew that one of the best things about being his wife was being able to co-parent with him. ”
Originally, they planned to start giving birth later this year, but ended up giving birth much earlier than planned.
She said: “I’m scared because I don’t feel like I’ve passed any tests right now. I’m not going to make them take any tests to see if I’m a mother. It’s crazy. People are like, ‘What are you planning to do?’ . So what’s your plan here? ”And I said, “Listen, God’s plan. That wasn’t my plan.”
Lauren is still grieving the loss of her father, but the upcoming birth of her baby will ease her grief.
She explained: “I think my dad died and I went up to the stairway to heaven and was like, ‘We have to do something there to bring something good to my family.'” And that’s expected. It was an outside blessing. We are still talking about and dealing with the grief of my father, and this baby has healed much of that grief for us…like it’s a small piece of him that will live on. ”
Lauren and Cam have already chosen a name for their baby, who will be named after a family member.
