Jenna & Zach Shared How Their 1st Moments With the Baby Went Down & How They Chose His Name
Jenna and Zach spoke with Us Weekly about the birth of their first child and Jenna told the outlet, “When he was put on my chest and we both got to see him, it was amazing. WE made this adorable little life. It’s truly the best feeling ever. We haven’t put him down once yet; we are completely obsessed.”
Zach said he was in awe of Jenna and has been throughout her whole pregnancy, saying she “made pregnancy look easy.” He said watching Jenna go into labor and deliver their baby was “the most impressive thing I’ll ever witness, and the happiest moment of my life.”
Jenna also revealed their thought process behind the name they chose and she said it was really difficult with both having different ideas. However, Jenna and Zach agreed they wanted something traditional so they chose Anthony because both their fathers have that middle name. She said she’s just excited now to go home with her new baby and spend time with him being parents.
Jenna added, “Zach is super hands-on and I can honestly say I haven’t changed one diaper yet. He continues to impress me every day and you can easily see that being a dad came so natural for him.”
