While viewers were surprised to hear the happy news, nobody was perhaps more surprised to learn twins were on the way than Hunstman and her hubby.<\/p>\n<p>When&nbsp;she&nbsp;initially went in for an&nbsp;ultrasound, she had been feeling sicker than she had during her first pregnancy.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;My OB-GYN [checked], and she just looked at me and held up two fingers. My honest reaction was that I started bawling. I was so scared\u2026that&#8217;s my real, honest answer,&#8221; she told <a href=\"http:\/\/newyorkbabyshow.com\/much-ado-about-abby-huntsman\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">New York Baby Show&#8217;s magazine<\/a>. &#8220;My husband comforted me in the moment, and [my OB-GYN] left the room. He was like: &#8216;We will make the most of this, and it&#8217;s going to be wonderful. Then the doctor came back in and my husband started loosening his tie, like: \u2018I&#8217;m not doing very well!&#8217; So, he starts to pass out\u2014he got through it to help me out, but then he had his moment. The doctor had to him sit down and bring another doctor in, and they brought in cool towels and a box of chocolates because he was fainting\u2014and I&#8217;m there with my feet in the straps like: &#8216;What is going on?'&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"text-2\" data-hook=\"scrollable-block\" readability=\"68\">\n<section data-textblock-tracking=\"text-block-text-only\" data-swiftype-index=\"false\" readability=\"26\">\n<p>Once the initial shock set in, the proud parents were able to celebrate this next chapter. Still, her first trimester wasn&#8217;t the easiest.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It was hard the first three months because I was so nauseous and so sick, but I couldn&#8217;t tell anybody yet, and I still had to go out on TV every day\u2026My goal was to get through a show without puking and if I could do that, then that was a success,&#8221; she told the publication.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>But after she was able to tell her coworkers and viewers, she had &#8220;so much fun.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;They&#8217;re going through the journey with me, our viewers are going through it with me, and I have received so many nice notes and messages from other moms\u2014whether they&#8217;re giving me advice or just cheering me on, which is wonderful,&#8221; she continued. &#8220;And I love the distraction\u2014I come in every day and it keeps me busy\u2014because otherwise I would be sitting in bed all day, worried about what&#8217;s to come. We&#8217;ll see how long I can go\u2014this pregnancy has been hard on me. But I really want to work every day that I can\u2026I feel like the luckiest woman in the word.
