The Bachelorette alums Trista and Ryan Sutter are expecting their second child, according to Life & Style Weekly magazine. The couple, who make Vail their home, found out about the pregnancy shortly after their son Max's first birthday in July.
Life & Style: After Max’s birth, you said you’d love to have a little girl. If you don’t have one this time, will you and Ryan keep trying?
Trista: I did say that - I’m such a girlie girl. But I’ve become really neutral about it all. I just want a really happy and healthy baby. I know that sounds cliché, but it’s the God’s honest truth. I would love to have a little girl, but I also love having a boy. Ryan has a brother, and they’re about the same age difference as Max will be with his new sibling. So it would be fun to have two boys, too.
L&S: So if you have another boy, will this baby be the last?
Trista: If we don’t have a girl, I’ve thought about the possibility of adopting. It came up in conversation because I’m leaning toward having my tubes tied! I think I’ll be happy with two kids. But then again, I was perfectly happy with just having Max. If we hadn’t been able to get pregnant again, I was 100 percent happy with my life. This new baby will just add a little bit more life and spirit and happiness and fun!"
The couple met on the hit reality series The Bachelorette. In February 2003, Trista chose Ryan as her favorite suitor and Ryan, then a 27-year-old Vail firefighter, proposed. They'd known each other six weeks. Trista is a former Miami Heat cheerleader.

I agree that this isn't news, but still I think it is fun to read about their lives. Some hard news stories are really boring and sometimes I could use an entertaining story.

Well, how jealous are you people. The couple is having a second baby, one that is very much wanted, and she could go thru a very difficult time giving birth to this one also. He contributes everyday, he is a firefighter. She is wonderful. She is a good wife and mother, has a small business. They are celebrity because of how they met. Point is, they are still together, thats amazing in itself these days...they seem to love each other, their children, being married...in this screwed up world we are in today...I say they are news worthy. Give them a break, good grief. Trista..here is hoping that all good much smoother this time around, hope you get your little girl, but like you said...a healthy child will do. You will be blessed, cause you are really great, I think...you both are. I think Max is lucky to have got the two of you for parents. Good luck to you all of you.

Some of us like seeing what Trista and Ryan are up to and how they are doing... To those of you who don't, then why do you read this, and why would you waste your time posting ? Doesn't seem that you all mind it too much you too time to type comments. I suppose you all would rather hear things that are neg. in the world.... At least this is something on a positive note. A birth is a blessing and now staying married is big NEWS...
