Lauren Bushnell Debuts Baby Bump and 'Wants a Girl,' Says Husband Chris Lane
Days after announcing that she is pregnant and expecting her first child with husband Chris Lane, Lauren Bushnell took to social media to reveal her baby bump.

"Baby was really making an appearance on Thanksgiving. And this was pre stuffing and turkey," she wrote on her Instagram Story, accompanied by a mirror selfie from the November 26 holiday.
She then posted a photo of her baby bump in present time, writing, "Today!"
Lauren also shared that she has been "finally feeling better over the last few weeks," explaining that she has even "been able to sneak in 15-20 minute daily workouts."
She added, "Feels so good to not be a couch potato anymore."
Lauren — who married Chris in a gorgeous Nashville wedding ceremony in October 2019 — revealed the couple’s exciting baby news earlier this week. She posted footage from a recent ultrasound appointment accompanied by an emotional message.
"A dream. Except I’m not dreaming. I’m wide awake. Holding your dad’s hand, watching you dance around in my belly. Listening to your little heartbeat. My new favorite sound. A miracle. New life," she wrote. "Our sweet baby. Thank you, Jesus! All the glory belongs to You."
Speaking with Radio.com this week, Chris admitted that he is "secretly hoping" for a son, while Lauren is keeping her fingers crossed for a mini-me.
"My parents are obviously very happy. They already have one grandbaby, who is 9 years old, that my twin brother had," he said. "We’re gonna find out [the sex]. We don’t have too much longer. My mom, she’s hoping for a girl. I’m secretly hoping for a boy. I think my wife wants a girl."
