Ree Drummond is set to become a grandmother for the first time! Her daughter Alex recently announced she’s expecting a baby with her husband, Mauricio Scott, filling the family with excitement and joy.
Ree shared her reaction on her blog, humorously noting how surreal it feels. “Oh my gosh. Alex is pregnant! My first baby is having her first baby!” she wrote, expressing her mixed emotions about becoming a grandmother at just 31 (though she’s actually 55). Ree joked about preparing for her new role, dreaming of being a “cool granny” and contemplating fashion choices like skinny jeans.
Alex and Mauricio celebrated their pregnancy on social media, sharing their happiness with adorable photos, including one with their dog wearing a “Big Brother” bandana. They later held a heartwarming baby shower where Ree was emotional seeing Alex surrounded by love.
The couple also revealed their daughter’s name: Sofia Marie, a tribute to Ree, whose middle name is Marie. Alex and Mauricio transformed a guest room into a beautiful nursery, featuring a floral mural and charming decor. The cozy space promises to be perfect for many cherished moments as they welcome their little girl.
As the Drummond family prepares for this exciting new chapter, Ree’s joy and pride shine through, marking a wonderful time for the entire family.
