Ballatori went on telling Use that the milestone was “all part of the plan,” explaining that Kissinger “asked for” a baby and she “was open to it.”
She added, “We just kind of said, ‘What the heck? We’ll see what happens.’ … I’m worried [to become a mom]. I’m nervous about just the whole change of my life, how every second’s going to be about this baby and something else instead of me and Colby. But I can’t wait to take it on.”
