Overcoming First-Trimester Challenges
The journey to this exciting milestone wasn’t without its hurdles. Back in June, Alex and her husband, Mauricio Scott, joyfully announced they were expecting their first child. However, the initial months of pregnancy brought significant discomfort for the mom-to-be. In a series of candid Instagram videos, Alex openly discussed the persistent nausea that plagued her days.
The discomfort was so intense that Alex confessed, “I didn’t think I was gonna make it through, but here we are.” Even simple daily tasks and errands became monumental challenges during this period. “I finally feel the will and the power inside to actually accomplish something,” she shared, highlighting the stark contrast to her earlier struggles. “Mauricio and I went to the grocery store for literally the first time of pregnancy.”
Second Trimester Brings Relief and Renewed Energy
Now that Alex has entered her second trimester, at 15 weeks pregnant, she’s experiencing a significant turnaround. “I feel like a new woman,” she exclaimed, adding, “things have really turned around in the last week or so, and I feel so much better.” The shift has been so dramatic that she feels like she’s “hit a point where I’m living my best second trimester life and officially out of the thick of the nausea.”
Excitement for Baby Girl and Family Anticipation
The excitement in the Drummond household is palpable as they prepare to welcome a baby girl. The gender reveal itself was a heartwarming family affair, featuring their Golden Retriever, George.

In a charming Instagram video, Alex and Mauricio involved George in the reveal by having him eat a cupcake filled with pink frosting, signifying they were expecting a daughter. “It’s a girl!” Alex announced joyfully in the video, celebrating with her husband. “Hopefully George loves his little sister half as much as he loved those cupcakes!” she joked in the caption, showcasing the family’s warm humor and excitement.
Ree Drummond herself has also expressed her delight at becoming a grandmother. While she initially guessed it might be a boy, Ree’s primary emotion is happiness for Alex and Mauricio. “Gosh, it feels totally different than I thought it would feel,” Ree shared with PEOPLE, reflecting on this new chapter. “But instead, what I think about most is — this is my honest answer — just how happy I am for my daughter and her husband.”
Golden Retriever George and the New Family Dynamic
Alex also touched upon how their beloved Golden Retriever, George, might adjust to the arrival of their baby girl. In her Instagram Q&A, she mentioned being “curious” about how George will react to the “lack of attention” that comes with a newborn. While acknowledging things will be different, Alex is optimistic, noting George’s gentle nature around other babies. “I think he will do well,” she concluded, reassured by George’s past behavior.
