The widow added that when she shared the news with her husband he was ‘beaming’ and was ‘so excited.’
‘I was so nervous, because this was again, a total surprise, but his reaction was just immediately kissing me and hugging me…,’ Meredith said.
‘In less than three years of marriage we created a family of five which 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,’ she added.
The soon-to-be mother-of-three was seen holding her daughter and son as she entered St. Mary Magdalen Catholic Church in Media, Pennsylvania Monday afternoon.
