‘We want to share some good news!’ Katie captioned the post. ‘Baby #2 coming November 2020. Adam, Albee, and I are so excited! ❤️❤️❤️+❤️.’
Because of the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, the Ralph Break The Internet voice actor had to be masked in all of her photos to protect herself and to help slow the spread of the virus.
The pictures appeared to be screenshots taken by Adam from FaceTime chats with his wife at the doctor’s office, as loved ones wouldn’t have been allowed at the appointments to decrease the infection risk.
Each photo featured new sonogram images, and the fetus grew noticeably by the final picture.

Back in 2018, the voice actress admitted on her podcast Katie’s Crib that she had suffered a miscarriage before her first son was born.
‘The initial feeling, when I found out there was no heartbeat from the doctor in a routine checkup, was like, “Okay, let’s Olivia Pope the situation, let’s fix it,”‘ she said.
‘”Let’s make the schedule, let’s get to the hospital, let’s get the [dilation and curettage. When can I start trying again?”‘
The loss also led to an intense period of sadness after her hormone levels changed following the miscarriage.
‘As soon as it set in that I’d had a miscarriage, what happens is you have a major hormonal drop-off,’ she explained. ‘And I think I was massively sad for about three months, and I was only pregnant for three months.’
