“I know everyone says that, ‘No, I’m gonna get pregnant so easily.’ My mom got pregnant so fast with all of her kids. I was like, ‘That’s gonna be me too.'”

However, Caelynn said she’s learned that fertility and ovulation are a little bit more “tricky” than she initially thought.

“I’m still figuring all that out,” Caelynn said. “I did get Mira. I also finally got in with the OB in January, but I got this Mira device.”

“So, you plug in the tester, pee on a stick and it tells you your LH levels. I was peeing on the other sticks that show lines and I was having such a hard time. I was like, ‘When am I ovulating?’ This, I’m still figuring it out.”

After their 2023 wedding, Dean and Caelynn spoke to PEOPLE about the event, noting that they hoped thattheir family would expandin the next few years.

“Dean is so compassionate. He has a way of making everyone feel so special and I really admire that about him,” Caelynn said at the time. “He’s taught me a lot in the past four years of us being together. He never says no or he can’t do something, he always tries, and almost always succeeds and it’s been great to flip my perspective on things and start challenging myself more.

“Each year with Dean gets better, so I’m excited to see how we grow as husband and wife,” she continued. “Hopefully kids are in our future as well.”
