After sharing her fertility journey openly online,Sydel Curry-Leeis expanding her family once again.

On Thanksgiving, the content creator — NBA starSteph Curry’s little sister — announced that she and her husband, pro basketball playerDamion Lee, 32, are expecting their third child together. The couple already shares sonDaxon, 3, and daughterDaryn, 15 months.

Days later, Curry-Lee continued to keep her followers updated on her pregnancy, sharing all of her mixed emotions about becoming a soon-to-be family of five.

On Tuesday, Dec. 3, Curry-Lee recorded herself in the bathroom alongside her husband. TheInstagram Reel— which was filmed on Sept. 29 — begins with both parents expressing their disbelief at expecting once again. Curry-Lee said she was just telling a friend that she had 11 embryos left after IVF, but she wasn’t sure what they were going to do with them.

“If you’re wondering why we don’t seem that surprised, and we’re so like, ‘Dang, the reality of it really kicked in’ kind of … we were putting the kids to bed tonight, just doing our normal routine, and I got a notification on my phone, or my Flow app, that said my period was 11 days late,” Curry-Lee explained, speaking to the camera.

Instead, however, Curry-Lee said the positive line appeared very quickly on the first test she took. She also opened up about her more difficult feelings surrounding the news.

“Obviously there’s a lot of emotions. I just started feeling like myself again. I just stopped breastfeeding. I just got my body back, like myself. I was making plans, like for my career,” she admitted.

Lee added some support for his wife’s feelings, saying it was “just gonna take her some time to process, that’s all.”

In her caption, Curry-Lee confirmed his sentiment: “Looking back on this I can’t help but be so thankful for TIME! Time to work through emotions and get used to new ideas of life and how you saw your life going! It shows that’s EVERYTHING happens for a reason even if you are shook to the core with its initial arrival!” she wrote.

In addition to her caption, the influencer typed out a “disclaimer and sensitivity warning” to preface her video. She acknowledged that many of her followers started tuning into her content because they could relate to her fertility journey, IVF experience and “the obstacles and path that comes with trying to start a family when it doesn’t come ‘easy,'” her note read.

She went on to state that while she feels differently now, over two months later, she doesn’t regret her initial reaction. “It is real and all of my feelings deserve space and time to work through. Emotions are ever evolving and that is the beauty of life,” Curry-Lee explained. “If you have found yourself feeling this same way, I see you. Having a child is a HUGE responsibility and nothing that should be taken lightly so while I believe all pregnancies are a miracle, they can be extremely heavy at the same time.”
