From Pods To Parenthood: ‘Love Is Blind’s’ Lauren & Cameron Hamilton Expecting First Child - Page 2
What followed was a moment years in the making—and one neither will forget.
“We did the classic test and we both went into the bathroom to look at the Clearblue test and it was face down,” Cameron continued. “We flipped it over. We saw the word pregnant, and that was just a huge moment to actually see the word pregnant on the test. It was a…”
“A relief,” added Lauren. “Because, well, we’ve taken a few pregnancy tests and when you use the ones with the lines, it could be anxiety driven because it’s like, ‘Is that what I think?’ So seeing the word pregnant, it was amazing. We just looked at each other. I fell to my knees and cried.”
Lauren also noted that the timing was bittersweet, considering that she lost her father in December.
“I lost my father [at] Christmas of last year,” she shared. “And so we took this test the end of January, beginning of February, so this was literally light in the darkness. This was like, wow. The spark that my whole family needed. We’ve been trying for a long time.”
“It was a little bittersweet because my dad’s not here physically to be with us, but we know that he’s watching over us,” she added. “So it was just like, ‘Wow, I can’t believe this.’ We just felt so blessed, so grateful and happy, excited. Then it hit like, ‘We’re going to be parents. Oh my God.’”
Prior to the announcement, Lauren and Cameron opened up on their The Love Seat podcast about their difficult IVF journey, noting that they fielded countless comments from people wondering when they’d expand their family, not knowing that they were struggling to conceive.
Cameron also became emotional when reflecting on Lauren going through the IVF process.
“When I saw what you were going through in terms of of taking the medications, doing the daily shots, knowing that IVF and all this stuff wasn’t really something that you naturally wanted to do but you did it for me—you showed me a new level of love that I’d never seen before,” he said.
