Recently, however, on an episode of TLC’s Doubling Down With the Derricos, the busy mom made a shocking announcement. She revealed that she’s pregnant with baby number 15. The baby is due on June 16, 2022. So, is the baby already here, or is there another new member of the Derrico family?
Doubling Down With the Derricos family shares some exciting news.
On his Instagram stories on Wednesday, Deon shared a new snap of the newest member of the Derrico family. Fortunately, baby number 15 has not made an early arrival, so that’s good news. However, this does mean that someone else has joined the gang.
In the photo, there’s a bulldog lab mix puppy. Deon captions the photo, “Our newest member Blue.”
Then he promotes the breeder as being “professional, responsible, humane, [and] sensitive.”
This special announcement was also featured on the Tuesday, March 8 episode of their show. You can check out a clip here or below. In the Doubling Down With the Derricos episode, Deon reveals that he’s been working locally to create an amazing surprise for Dallas and Denver for their birthday. He admits that no one, even his wife, knew about the surprise ahead of time.
Of course, the kids are overjoyed to meet the new puppy. But mom Karen doesn’t feel the same way. In the episode, Karen says, “I am not ready for another puppy right now.”
She also reveals that whenever they’re having another baby, Deon wants to get a puppy. A baby and a puppy around the same time is quite the task. Hopefully, by the time June rolls around, the puppy will be all trained so they don’t have more to worry about with the baby’s arrival.
