Is Meredith Gaudreau Pregnant?
Yes, Meredith Gaudreau, the wife of the late NHL player Johnny Gaudreau, announced that she is expecting their third child during her heartfelt speech at his memorial service.
Meredith said at the funeral held at St. Mary Magdalen Parish near Philadelphia, "We’re actually a family of five."
“I’m in my ninth week of pregnancy with our third baby. A total surprise, but again, John was beaming and so excited.”
“I was so nervous because this (pregnancy) was, again, a total surprise. But his reaction was just immediately kissing me and hugging me even though I was driving the car. After the initial excitement sank in, every time he looked at me, he would say, ‘You’re nuts, you know that? Three kids?’”
She continued, “Noa, our oldest, hasn’t even turned 2 yet. In less than three years of marriage, we’ve created a family of five. It doesn’t even sound possible, but I look at it as the ultimate blessing. How lucky am I to be the mother of John’s three babies? Our last one being a blessing and so special despite these difficult circumstances.”
