Here comes the happy news in the Efird family. Mama June’s daughter Lauryn “Pumpkin” Shannon is pregnant with Baby no. 2. The pregnancy came as a surprise to the family. However, the parents are also a bit nervous about the thought of handling the second child. We all know that Pumpkin and Josh already have lots of responsibility on their shoulder. Is the couple ready for one more? Let us look into the details below.
Mama June: Pumpkin And Josh Were Not Expecting Pregnancy, But Not Even Preventing It
People reported that the parent of a 3-year-old daughter, Ella Grace, learned about their pregnancy back in November. The news did come as a surprise to the couple. Pumpkin took long to be pregnant once again. Ever since the birth of Ella, she was on birth control pills for a while. Pumpkin then remained away from birth control for almost a year and a half. Although the couple was not expecting to have another baby, they were not even preventing from having it.
Furthermore, Pumpkin explains that pregnancy did come as a shock to the couple. Pumpkin explains, “We had been trying, and I’ve been buying pregnancy tests, and they kept coming back up negative.” It came to a point where Josh asked Pumpkin to stop staying as it never seems to be positive. One day, by surprise, the kit showed up to be positive.
Mama June: Will Parenting Second Child Be Hard For Josh And Pumpkin?
Josh does not work at home anymore. He has a job in South Carolina. So, it will definitely be hard for Pumpkin to parent two children at once, with Josh being away most of the time. Honey Boo Boo, on the other hand, now feels like a burden to the family. Pumpkin reveals that Alana wants them to move on in their life. Meanwhile, when Pumpkin revealed the pregnancy news to Mama June, she was like, ‘well, you don’t need another one.’ We are certain that she must have been happy from inside.
Pumpkin is excited about her second pregnancy. She even wants to know the sex of the Baby. The star explains that she feels more energized this time. She explains, “In the morning, I’m super energized. I can get up at seven and go all day.” However, the situation was not the same when she was pregnant with Ella. She always felt lazy tired in her first pregnancy. At the time, the star thought of never being pregnant again. However, things changed this time. It’s easier for her now to go through the pregnancy.
Will Pumpkin and Josh go through the pregnancy easily? It seems that Pumpkin has a lot on her plate. She feels Mama June to be the reason for the negativity in her marriage. At the same time, June is the reason because of which she had to take care of her younger sister, Alana. Let us further wait to see what new twist the Baby No 2 will bring in Pumpkin and Josh’s life.
