Ashley & Jared Share Ultrasound Video Ahead of Baby Haibon's Arrival
One week after announcing they are expecting their first child together, Ashley Iaconetti Haibon and husband Jared Haibon gave Bachelor Nation a look inside their ultrasound appointment on Wednesday.
“We heard the baby’s heartbeat for the first time today!” Ashley wrote on her Instagram Story. “It looks like an actual baby now. It’s the size of a small lime.”
In the footage, Jared can be heard saying, “Oh, wow.” In posts of his own, the dad-to-be noted that “everything looks great and the baby’s heartbeat sounds perfect.”
“Still so early, but it’s pretty incredible to see how much the baby has changed since our last appointment a month ago,” he added, sharing a June sonogram image for comparison.
Jared also posted videos of the Rhode Island-based couple — who fell in love across multiple seasons of “Bachelor in Paradise” before tying the knot in August 2019 — heading into the hospital.
“We are on our way to our doctor for our second appointment,” the Rhode Island native said, acknowledging that Ashley’s baby bump was showing “a little bit” in her summer dress. “Today, we’re going to find out the sex of the baby.”
Ashley then clarified that they won’t discover Baby Haibon’s sex until next week. “They took the blood today that will tell what it is,” she said.
The beloved franchise stars previously revealed that their bundle of joy is expected to arrive in February 2022.
“Baby Haibon is due Feb 10th!” Ashley wrote via Instagram last week. “We are very excited for that day to come! It’s so cool to think I’m creating a human that’s half me and half Jared! I won’t lie though, pregnancy has not been a delight for me.”
Jared recently praised Ashley for navigating a “rough” first trimester.
“Even though it’s been a rough first trimester so far, she is as beautiful today as she was in this picture. Ashley has been a trooper and I love her so much,” he wrote on Instagram. “Last night, she threw up five times throughout the night. It’s been a very sick month for her. I feel terrible because there’s not much I can do except the occasional runs to the store for chocolate cake or to 7/11 for Slurpees.”
Jared added, “I love her very much, she’s a strong woman and I know Ashley is going to be an incredible mother.”
