Cortney Hendrix’s family is growing once again!
“This pregnancy has been the complete opposite of my first one,” Hendrix tells PEOPLE.
“It was unexpected and shocking from the beginning,” the former reality star admits. “I became pregnant while exclusively breastfeeding my 10½-month-old when I finally felt the closest ‘back to me’ since getting pregnant with Dale.”

“I was scared. I was tired. I am tired. There are many days where I panic at the thought of two, and many days I am thrilled because the children will be so close in age,” Hendrix candidly shares.

Added the soon-to-be father of two, “It’s been so much fun to see Dale’s personality come out and to watch him play and learn. I thank God every day for the blessing of these children and his guidance as we navigate these new experiences.”
“I’m looking forward to spending time as a family and watching these boys grow together,” he concludes.
As Hendrix prepares for the newest shift in her family, she’s leaning on their faith to help them all through the transition.
“I do wonder if I will be enough if I can do it. I had other plans, but so did God, and I’ve just put my faith in Him. I know this is a wonderful blessing, and this child will complete our family,” she shares. “We are excited for Dale to have a BFF, as they will be 19 months apart! This child is loved, and this child is wanted.”
“I didn’t know how challenging being a parent truly is- it’s winning the lottery while also taking punches to the gut some days. Each stage has its wonderful parts, and each stage has its challenges,” adds Hendrix. “We are all doing our best, and mamas, your best is enough!!”
