"Does this mean I'm allowed to drive in the carpool lane at all times now?" she wrote.

"When you're in the public eye there are some things you want to just keep a secret until you feel ready," Mitchell said. "This for me has been the hardest. This is gonna be really fun and awesome when I'm not trying to hide it anymore."

"I'm gonna be so happy when this comes out," she said. "I could be pregnant. I can be like not suck my stomach in...months of hiding, it's been a really lonely journey. I think pregnancy is awesome for the most part but it's also really f--king lonely."

She added, "Now it's about us and I would never want it to be like I'm not confident of us. I'm extremely confident now because I have my baby growing inside me. It didn't feel right to just put up a photo and be like, 'I'm pregnant' and have people just think that everything has been peaches or rainbows. This is real life that I want people to come along with me on this journey in real time."
