Candiace Dillard-Bassett<\/strong>\u00a0is pregnant!<\/span><\/p>\n

Weeks after confirming she\u00a0will not be returning\u00a0for the ninth season of\u00a0The Real Housewives of Potomac<\/em><\/strong>, Candiace, 37, confirmed that she and her husband,\u00a0Chris Bassett<\/strong>, 46, are expecting their first child together this fall.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am about 13 weeks \u2026 so just about into the second trimester. It\u2019s been weird, but also really wonderful, I think, to keep it kind of to ourselves to this point,\u201d Candiace revealed to\u00a0Entertainment Tonight\u00a0on April 15. \u201cOur immediate family knows, my mom \u2014 I told my mom on her birthday in February \u2014 my dad knows, [Chris\u2019] parents know, my siblings know and that is my core, best friend group, but outside of that it\u2019s just been, like, kind of quietly just growing a bun.\u201d<\/p>\n

In recent years, Candiace has chronicled\u00a0her baby journey\u00a0on\u00a0RHOP<\/em>, taking viewers inside meetings with fertility specialists and discussing the prep work involved with in vitro fertilization (IVF). And earlier this year, she was successfully implanted with an embryo the two of them froze two years ago.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

\u201cI think we were both kind of content to have them just sit there until my \u2018cut-off date,’\u201d Candiace admitted, giving a nod to Chris\u2019 desire to have a child with her before he turned 50.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut then I got the itch,\u201d she said. \u201cI always wondered, like, how would I know when I was ready? And I always felt like a part of my anxiety was that I wasn\u2019t sure that I would know, and when I knew, it was undeniable.<\/p>\n

\u201cI kind of woke up and realized that I was never going to be 100 percent ready,\u201d she continued. \u201cI just had to \u2026 trust the process and trust my doctors and stop being afraid and just do it. So once we decided together that we were going to do that \u2014 together \u2014 it just was kind of all moving by faith from there.\u201d<\/p>\n

Immediately after her implantation in January, Candiace was filled with anxiety as she awaited the news of whether or not she was pregnant. Then, when she got the call from her doctor, who confirmed she was, in fact, with child, Candiace said she felt amazing.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe waited and waited and waited all this time, so to finally hear that, after those two weeks, the process has worked after a year of doing the shots. \u2026 I did two rounds of egg retrieval. To do the shots in your stomach, I had to do the shots in my bum bum every day \u2014 which was not always fun \u2014 and to finally have it all pay off was amazing,\u201d she gushed.<\/p>\n

While Candiace and Chris created\u00a0one male and one female embryo, only the doctors know what they\u2019re having at this point.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe did all the tests. Obviously, we wanted something healthy \u2026 and I was like, listen, let\u2019s just take the highest graded egg and we\u2019ll put it in there, and this is the one surprise of this whole experience, that we don\u2019t know yet,\u201d Chris explained.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s so cool that you literally have no idea what you\u2019re getting,\u201d Candiace agreed. \u201cWhat their personality is, although at our last sonogram, signs are pointing to them being more like Chris than me.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to Candiace, her baby is \u201claidback\u201d like her spouse and won\u2019t do much moving around when it comes to the sonograms.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey were, like, being camera shy, because before the camera came out they were moving around and they pulled out the camera and they were like, nope!\u201d she recalled.<\/p>\n

As the couple prepares to welcome their first child together, Chris says he\u2019ll be doing his best to remind himself that while he has three older children, this is Candiace\u2019s first time becoming a parent.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve gotta make sure for me that I stay engaged, \u2019cause I\u2019ve gotta be super supportive for her and she\u2019s gonna need that all the way through. So, that\u2019s kind of what I\u2019m looking forward to, just to share it and experience it with Candiace and just see where it goes,\u201d he shared as Candiace said there was \u201ccomfort\u201d in knowing Chris has already gone through the process.<\/p>\n

As she looks ahead to the moments she\u2019ll share with her child, Candiace said she\u2019s excited to support them in whatever they want to do.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m just excited to meet them,\u201d she noted. \u201cI always have these dreams \u2014 I have dreams, like, every other night of just me holding the baby, but \u2026 all you see is the head. So I\u2019m excited to just hold them.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m looking forward to the community, the mom community,\u201d she continued. \u201cIt\u2019s a space I\u2019ve kind of been peering into from the outside, most of my friends and my cousins have kids. I\u2019ve helped raise and change diapers and babysit all of my cousins\u2019 kids, so it\u2019s just gonna be fun to be a part of that community and, you know, to learn and grow as a member now.\u201d<\/p>\n

As for her fears of becoming a mom, Candiace considered her child\u2019s elementary education, joking that she\u2019s \u201cterrified of math homework.\u201d<\/p>\n

At this point in her pregnancy, Candiace said she\u2019s just starting to see signs of a baby bump, although it could be mistaken for a \u201cfood baby.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m bloated \u2026 all the time!\u201d she stated. \u201cIt\u2019s so annoying. \u2026 I\u2019ve been able to fool people, I think successfully thus far; now people are gonna be walking \u2014 I\u2019ll be in the grocery store and they\u2019ll be looking for the bump, so I\u2019m excited about that.\u201d<\/p>\n

As for her thoughts on more kids, Candiace confirmed she and Chris have another embryo as she noted that she\u2019s taking things \u201cday by day\u201d for now.<\/p>\n

\u201cI feel really blessed so far to be just about in my second trimester and I haven\u2019t really been super sick. I haven\u2019t had, like, super crazy pregnancy symptoms, so that\u2019s helpful in thinking about doing it again. But also, it\u2019s like, could we just find a wonderful surrogate for the second one? That is on the table, that\u2019s an option that some women have the luxury of entertaining,\u201d she explained. \u201cSo, we\u2019ll see. Let me pop one out and see.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
