“The last year has been quite a journey getting to this point, lots of ups & downs … butfor those trying to conceive, all I can say is just keep going,” Rhoda wrote, adding a red heart emoji and further explaining that, “trying to conceive is a mindf— and might have almost ended our marriage once or twice.”

Avery, 39, opened up about the difficulties he and Rhoda faced while trying to get pregnant on his podcastNo F— Given, saying he “never thought this day would come” and that the two assumed they’d conceive easily considering they exercise daily and refrain from alcohol consumption.
In her recent conversation with PEOPLE, Rhoda revealed that she “had a dream very early on in mypregnancy that it was a boy”— and of course, she turned out to be right!
But as far as what to call their son on the way, that’s still up in the air. “We have a list of names of course but nothing narrowed down just yet,” she said.

What Rhoda loves the most about UNIQLO, she told PEOPLE, is “that it can be a one-stop shop for all that you need. It’s made very well and always feels comfortable.”
“I love the polka dot short-sleeve midi dress from the Ines de la Fressange collection,” she shared of one of her favorite pieces from the brand’s spring/summer collection. “It’s so chic and perfect for summer, and all you have to do is throw it on with some cute sandals.”
“I also loved the cropped ankle pants from the main collection,” Rhoda added. “I’d pair that with a white ribbed tank and a cool pair of sneakers.”
