It’s time to grab your popcorn and settle in because we’ve got some delightful family news from none other than the household of gymnastics royalty. Yes, you heard it right, and it’s causing quite the stir!
Olympian’s Delight
The excitement is palpable! Just when you thought the Retton family couldn’t get any happier, they surprise us again. Mary Lou Retton is back in the headlines, not for her floor routines or gymnastic marvels, but because her family is expanding faster than you can say, ‘Vault!’
On a sunny Thursday, a beacon of joy shone through Shayla Schrepfer’s social media. The eldest of Mary Lou Retton’s tribe took to Instagram to reveal the news that she and her husband Wyatt are expecting their first baby! And just to add a little more sparkle to the story, this juicy tidbit follows quickly on the heels of her younger sister Skyla’s baby announcement.
With a baby due in February 2025, Shayla’s excitement is infectious. “Sweet baby, we are so excited and HONORED to be your parents! We cannot wait to meet you!” she wrote. The Instagram post was just oozing joy and love, completed with an adorable ultrasound reveal and a Bible verse that means so much to her.
Sisterly Love
And guess who else is jumping in on the joyride? Shayla’s sisters, of course! New mom Skyla, fresh from her own baby bliss, couldn’t contain her excitement, exclaiming, “Our babies r literally 7 months apart.” The family couldn’t resist a little gender speculation either with comments like, “Who thinks it’s a girl?” and “What size fruit?” from Shayla’s sisters. There’s nothing quite like a family, bonded over future diaper duties and late-night crying!
Encouragement and love abound in the family threads, proving that Mary Lou has cultivated not just a clan but a camaraderie of pure sisterhood. Even the anticipation of being “AUNTIE x2” is celebrated with gusto by McKenna. Truly heartwarming!
