Pregnancy is rough; forty weeks of body changes and preparing for a tiny human you haven't even met yet. Follow Demi and Wilmer on that journey as they prepare to meet their first baby and on the bumpy journey which follows.
eight months old. 15lbs 3oz. Started crawling and is now unstoppable. Hates being anywhere except by mommy's side. Loves toast and sweet potato.
Sitting up in bed, Demi smiles slightly as she scrolls through her numerous birthday messages on Instagram before stopping on one from Wilmer. She glances over at Pearl, who's sleeping beside her, before turning her attention back to the phone and beginning to read it.

wilmervalderrama :To the one I am so lucky to call my fiancée. You make the world a much brighter place by just being alive. You walked into my life and completely turned it upside down; what I felt, and still feel, for you was completely unexpected. I never knew I could love someone like I love you. You are an amazing mother just like I always knew you would be. Seeing our little girl's eyes light up as soon as you enter the room melts my heart. Happy birthday, my love. I am so sorry I am not there today to celebrate with you.
Liking the post, Demi bites her bottom lip as tears stream down her cheeks. Slowly climbing out of her bed she makes her way into the bathroom and grabs some tissues to wipe her cheeks. A small whimper causes her to sigh as she makes her way back into the bedroom to find Pearl stretching her little arms above her head.
'Oh hey, little lady.' Demi says softly smiling as she sits down on the edge of the bed and runs her finger down the little girl's cheek. Demi smiles as Pearl reaches her arms out towards her and leans down to lift the little girl into her arms.
'Good morning, my beautiful. Shall we see who's texting mommy?' Demi asks keeping the little girl cradled against her chest as her phone vibrates. Grabbing the phone she glances down at her unread text.
From Jill :
Happy birthday, lovely! Hopefully see you soon xx

It's a little after 10am when Wilmer quietly makes his way into the house with bags of gifts. He looks around the bottom floor before making his way upstairs where he finds Demi sitting up in bed with Pearl nursing happily.
'Hey! I thought you weren't going to be home until tonight.' Demi says smiling slightly as Wilmer leans down and kisses the top of her head.
'I may have lied slightly... I've not actually been at work today I just had to sort somethings out for your surprise.' He replies sitting down on the edge of the bed.
'Oh okay.' She says.
'So, I've been planning a little trip for us as part of your birthday.' He says and she tilts her head to the side.
'Yeah?' She asks.
'Today at around midday we are going to get picked up from the house and taken to LAX. Our flight leaves LAX at quarter past three and we will arrive in our destination at eleven tomorrow morning.' He says.
'And what is our destination?' She asks softly.
'Well, we will arrive in Charles De Gaulle airport.' He replies and she bites her bottom lip.
'Paris?' She asks and he nods his head.
'We're going to spending two weeks in Paris. We're going to be spending some time at Disneyland Paris and we're going to be staying in the Cinderella suite in the Disneyland hotel for around four days and then we'll be going to a different part of Paris where we can explore and do all the Paris type of things.' He replies and she squeals.
'Oh my... I love you!' She says smiling as she reaches her free arm out to hug him.

'I'm so excited... This will be Pearl's first experience of Disney!' Demi says smiling as she leans against the window watching the planes on the runway.
'I know. I thought as well as being part of your birthday this could be like a trip away before I go away to New York for a month.' He replies.
'That's going to suck.' She mumbles glancing down at Pearl who's strapped to her chest in a Tula carrier.
'I know but the month will fly by... I'll be home before you know it.' He says wrapping his arms around her waist from behind.
'I know and I know we've done the whole distance thing before but it's just- It's different now, isn't it?' She replies quietly.
'I promise this is the last time that I'll gone for this long.' He says kissing the top of her head.
'I didn't take a test this morning.' She almost whispers.
'Yeah? Do you think there's a chance you could be pregnant?' He asks and she nods her head.
'I'm late, only a few days but still late and I'm so fucking tired.' She admits.
'Well we'll get a test in Paris then.' He says and she smiles slightly.
'When you come back from New York I think we should start planning the wedding.' Demi says tilting her head to glance up at him.
'Yeah? We can definitely do that.' He replies as she leans back against him.
