"It’s such an honor to be joining the club of motherhood. I love being pregnant, I love being alive, and I love my little bean. We couldn’t be more over the moon if we tried." "Happy Mother’s Day, my friends! Jackson, the best husband in the world, thank you for making me a momma. Thank you for being my partner in crime, life and parenthood. I am forever grateful for you and for starting our little family," she continued.
"Even though it’s a day for the girlies, I literally couldn’t have done this without you and couldn’t have imagined a better father for my children," Petty ended her post.
