“We always had a strong feeling we were having another boy, everything throughout the pregnancy was so similar and we always pictured 2 boys under 2 years apart," says the couple. “Because both our sons are through IVF as we had difficulty conceiving, we are just so thankful everything went smoothly and everyone is home and feeling good.”
As Loch doesn’t have any brothers and wanted her maiden name to live on, Wendt had the idea to incorporate the moniker into their son’s middle name, which is how they came up with the name Lochland.
Loch, 33, and Wendt, 39,met on season 5 ofBachelor in Paradisein 2014, and got engaged in August 2019. The couplerevealed the exciting news of their growing family in February, alongside photos together on their Instagram Stories.
“BABY DADDY times two,” the former reality star captioned a black and white photo of Wendt holding a birthday cake with the candles lit. “Test results came back POSITIVE so we’re celebrating @Kevin.c.wendt birthday a day early.”
Sharing an ultrasound photo earlier this year, theBiPalum explained in the caption that it was “not a pregnancy announcement (yet).”
“But today was transfer day so we’re holding our breath and keeping our fingers crossed. Last time this all felt much harder to share, there was so much more fear. But you guys have been an incredible community so this time I’m taking you along for the ride,” she wrote.
Explaining that the “first pic is little embryo chilling,” she then referenced the second and third photos in her post, which showed a “glimpse at the meds and injections.”
Loch concluded the post with a sweet video, which shows the “moment our embryo was transferred.”
On Mother’s Day of 2021, the pair announced they werehaving their first child togetherafter experiencing infertility. In a series of blog posts forPEOPLE, Loch documented her pregnancy journey after a long road to conception, opening up about her fertility struggle and experience within vitro fertilization (IVF).
