“We wanted to keep it sweet and simple and just the two of us, and with Sophia of course,” she explains while slicing the cupcake.

“We’re having a… girl!” she announces at the end.

“When we found out, it was actually kind of shocking. He lives in San Francisco, I live in L.A., so when my period didn’t come, the monthly visit didn’t come. So we went and got Clearblue, the pregnancy test,” Mi Li told PEOPLE.

“We talked about having kids earlier but we were going to start trying [at] the end of the year,” she explained. “So we actually bought a bunch of Clearblue ovulation tests before so I would start getting used to using it, but we just really didn’t think it was going to happen so fast because I’m a little worried because I’m 36, I just turned 37…so I wanted to take the ovulation test and just to get it into a monthly rhythm…”

She continued, “I’m very much in denial. So it was really shocking but honestly, we’re just so grateful and so blessed… To this day I still feel like it’s so surreal.”
