In the beautiful black and white photo, the 30-year-old revealed that she was simultaneously excited and sad about the current “season” of her life. “This has undoubtedly been my most challenging season to date.

It was difficult to be thankful for the good when one of the most important people in my life was missing the celebration,” Tia wrote. “While I wish I could break all the good news to my dad in person, I’m reassured that he knows it long before I do. Welcoming a new little life while grieving the loss of someone else proves that high emotions can coexist and I have no doubt my dad was involved in that.” She also wished her pops a “happy heavenly Father’s Day.” and Taylor a “happy Father’s Day soon.”
At the time of her pregnancy announcement, Tia also admitted that she was a bit overwhelmed with the pregnancy as she and Taylor had only gotten engaged two months prior. “I’m trying to plan the wedding of my dreams. At this point I was still trying to get married within six months to do it this fall. So I just couldn’t believe it,” she said on Bachelor Nation Click Bait podcast back then. “We weren’t trying to get pregnant, but we weren’t trying hard not to get pregnant either.”
