But Tyler’s been a bit more hesitant.

Just a month earlier, he revealed that having another baby wasn’t planned — like, at all. “I didn’t cry… I was shocked!” he told Kate Casey on her Reality Life podcast. “We were using protection. We were using all levels of protection … We were not ready for a baby, we were preventing it at all costs!”

After a while, the dad came around.

“The fact that it happened while [we were] using protection … it was the universe saying this baby was meant to be born,” he told Kate Casey. “It was a big shock to me. I won’t say that I was over-the-moon excited, but after a while you get excited and happy about it.”

On Twitter, he shared how he was getting prepared.

After watching a video of a home birth, he couldn’t help but share, “WOW. Just…wow. This is so beautiful. Women are just so amazingly strong! I can’t wait to meet my baby, she will be here in about 4 weeks & I’d be lying if I said this video didn’t get me emotional #ImACryBaby 😍😭”

Tyler and Cate have picked out the perfect name, too.

During an episode of Teen Mom OG, they chatted about it with their ultrasound technician — and revealed they were going with the totally unique moniker of “Tezlee.”

They wanted something that could go with Nova’s name.

And we have to admit that Novalee and Tezlee sound pretty sweet together. Think little Tez may get a nickname of her own? Maybe she’ll go by Lee.

They also renovated their home so that it’s perfect for their family.

The place is absolutely gorgeous.
