Since the announcement, Joy and Austin have shared a few other details about the pregnancy.
The couple recently attended a wedding where Joy showed off her growing baby bump. They also posted a few more ultrasound photos and videos for their followers.
Sadly, the couple took to Instagram again to share a devastating update.
"Today marks one week since we heard these words…'So this is your baby’s heart (pointing to the ultrasound screen). I don’t hear a heartbeat or see any movement,'" they wrote on Instagram.
Joy had gone for her 20-week ultrasound to find out the baby's gender, but they learned that their baby had passed away.

The couple also announced that they learned their baby was a girl and have named her Annabell Elise.
