The celebrity designer and husband Travis Moore, whom she married in November, are expecting their first child together, the couple confirm exclusively to PEOPLE. “This is one of the most magical moments of my life,” says Wasserbach Moore of discovering her pregnancy.
“By divine intervention, I received the ‘notice’ from my grandmother that I was pregnant. At that point, she was on her deathbed,” Wasserbach Moore told PEOPLE. “Amid her delicate condition, she spoke of ‘the baby,’ and thoughtfully revealed her secret life savings of $20, tucked safely in a purse by her bed, intended for the ‘newborn baby.'”

The designer, who was about to become pregnant with her husband at the time, was so moved that she went home to take a pregnancy test. “In fact, the result was miraculous — it was positive,” she says. Though her grandmother wasn’t able to hear the news in person, Wasserbach Moore says, “It takes a lot of comfort that she knew before I did.”
Although the first few weeks of her pregnancy were difficult, she tells PEOPLE things changed at 13 weeks. “It was like turning on a light switch, sweeping away all discomfort. Since then I have felt great and have truly embraced and loved this beautiful period of my life.”
“It was also a learning experience and I picked up some wise advice along the way that I want to pass on. Someone told me that it’s perfectly okay to be grateful for the incredible blessings of pregnancy while also acknowledging the challenges and not feeling good,” says Wasserbach Moore.
“Ultimately, this process has shown me the power to embrace every aspect of motherhood with open arms, acknowledging that it doesn’t always go smoothly, but still cherishing every moment of this transformative experience.”

As for her husband, Wasserbach Moore tells PEOPLE, “Becoming parents was a natural and heartfelt dream for both of us.” As high school friends, she says, they shared “an unspoken understanding that our journey together.” would eventually lead to the joys of parenthood.”
“Trav will be the best dad. Seeing Travis as a father-to-be fills my heart with great joy. I know in my soul that he will fill our little one’s life with boundless love, happiness and a feeling of incredible happiness. “He’s his (or her!) as he has been for me throughout our relationship.” she says of Moore.
Although the designer usually makes clothing for adults, Wasserbach Moore is excited to delve into the world of baby clothing. “By and large, I’m already finding niches in the industry that inspire me! The baby industry is just so delicious and cute,” she reveals.

While pregnant, she found it difficult to find the perfect balance for her maternity style, says the fashion designer. “I haven’t dared to buy maternity clothes yet. Instead, I’ve found solace in trying larger sizes. My everyday uniform consists of cargo pants, button-down shirts, cozy sweaters, drainpipe socks, and sneakers. Essentially I look like a suburban dad!” she jokes.
“As we step into the next chapter of our lives, we feel incredibly blessed and grateful for the love and support of our family and friends,” Wasserbach Moore tells PEOPLE. “And so, with hearts filled with anticipation and excitement, we eagerly await the arrival of our little bundle of joy in November, knowing that our love story is forever linked to the wonder and wonders of parenthood.”
“Thank you to everyone who has been a part of our journey and we can’t wait to share this extraordinary adventure with you all!”
