Janette wrote, “When your family is that far away, it’s good to know that our little cute aunts and uncles will be around, like aunt @iamashleyroberts.”

“This baby is going to have so much fun!”

Ashley wrote, “Conga da bump.”

Janette previously said of Aljaz, whom she married 12 years ago, “The most surprising thing to me, from Aljaž, is just the level of support he has shown throughout this whole pregnancy.

“I knew he always wanted to be a father; I felt in my heart that I knew he would always be a great dad, but to see it come to life with his excitement and his curiosity and his ability to really just take care of me is amazing.”

She added, “He won’t let me lift a feather!” He’s just the most incredible husband and it’s so nice to see how involved he wants to be and he wants to know everything that’s going on with me and my body.

“I think as a woman it’s so comforting to know that I have a real partner in this whole process, and that he’s with me all the time. I love that.’
