“They are just so loving and caring,” the mom-to-be said of the kids. “They know that I’m dealing with the back issues and Taylor’s always checking on me.”

“Every time I moan while moving, she’s like, ‘Are you okay? Do you need anything?’ They’ve just been so supportive and loving,” she added.

The couple were in the middle of in vitro fertilization treatments, and had even scheduled a date to transfer an embryo, when they were happily surprised to learn they were expecting, they told PEOPLE exclusively in July.

“It was a huge shock,” said Heather at the time. “We just weren’t expecting this. We had just gone through IVF. We had embryos on ice. We had a plan.”

But after the disbelief wore off, theSelling Sunsetstar was elated. “I think when you least expect it and there’s no stress in your life, the world just brought us what was meant to be. I’m so excited that it happened like this.”
