Now, she’s letting our News 6 Insiders in on the secret. Ezzy is expecting a baby GIRL!
“We found out about the gender right before Christmas. My husband and I couldn’t believe it and when we got the announcement from the doctor’s office, we both cried,” Ezzy said. “This was a very special moment for both of us. We had just finished having breakfast at Disney and we happened to be at the Polynesian Resort. It really was a beautiful moment.”
Insider Guide Crystal Moyer spoke with Ezzy about the big announcement:
What are you looking forward to as a mom? Any fears or advice you want from Insiders about being a new mom?
“I’m looking forward to reliving a lot of my childhood with our daughter, but I also want her to experience things I couldn’t growing up. I think living in Central Florida is going to give our baby new opportunities and adventures. I’m very close to my mom, and I’d love to have the same relationship with my daughter,” Ezzy said. “As far as fears, I really haven’t thought of any. I know that’s crazy to think because I’ll be new to parenting, but I’m just enjoying this part of my life knowing that in a few months I’ll be a mom.”
How’s the hubby taking this?
“My husband is so happy and excited to start working on the baby’s room. He really is looking forward to being a girl dad! I love catching him looking at baby stuff and seeing the excitement on his face. I know he’s going to be a wonderful father. He’s great with kids, more than me,” Ezzy laughed.
How are you holding up being pregnant while working the morning shift?
“Honestly, it’s been a challenge. I have been dealing with nausea and fatigue throughout my first trimester. Being up early and dealing with those symptoms isn’t easy. I am doing a lot better now, and I definitely take advantage of my afternoon naps,” she said.
