Grand Rapids Radio Personality Drops Surprise Pregnancy Announcement

Everyone loves to celebrate a new baby on the way, but half of the fun is the surprise of telling your friends and loved ones.

Me and my husband James have been living life at full speed for the past year. From getting engaged and married, to now expecting a bundle of joy, it's been a flash of a year.

So when we found out that we were expecting in 2023, we knew we had to find a way to surprise all of our people. And when you work in radio, it's REALLY extra hard to keep that secret until you're ready to share.

I've been going above and beyond to change my wardrobe to hide my baby bump, and to make sure no one noticed my extra trips to the bathroom which felt like they were coming every five minutes.

But when it came time to share the news with my co-host and radio brother, Big Joe, I knew it had to be special.

So that's why during our morning show on Tuesday, May 16th, I decided to surprise him in the middle of our weekly "Try it Tuesday" with a sneaky announcement:

@laurahardyradio … @Country Minute and I are having a baby this fall, and i had to find a special way to tell @Joe Pesh on the radio @Big Joe + Laura #pregnancytiktok #pregnancyannouncement #pregnantlife ♬ original sound - Laura Hardy ✨

I never imagined his excitement, and I don't think I'll unhear him yelling "SHUT UP!" at me for a while. But, nonetheless, I'm so excited to take this journey and to share it with everyone in West Michigan.
