“I feel blessed because my pregnancy overall has been easy until now, the last month,” she tells PEOPLE. “It’s getting a little harder because I am more tired, but I won’t complain as I have heard some horror storiesof women being sick for nine months. I guess I’m getting off easy compared to some, but I won’t hold my breath as I’m not due until Nov. 4, so anything can change.”

Krupa also says that she and Nunes are still working on a name for their little one. “I love Sophie Grace but my husband isn’t sold on it, so we are still trying to figure it out,” she says. “My husband is Irish and Portuguese and I’m Polish, so we are trying to find a double name that covers all.”
