I get to do what I love, I have an incredible family. I have Mike, I have Isaiah, I have great parents. I have all of these amazing people around me, and I don\u2019t want to complain, ever,\u201d Underwood said. \u201cBut the miscarriages made me get real with God and say, \u2018Okay, I\u2019m kind of giving up a little bit. If this isn\u2019t meant to happen, then I need to accept that and know that someday I\u2019ll understand why.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p>But then, along came a healthy pregnancy. And eventually, her second son Jacob. \u201cHe\u2019s just this perfect little bundle of a smiley guy,\u201d she shared. And now that both boys and their dad have joined Underwood on the road, she calls it all a big awesome mess.
