The Real Housewives of New Jersey cast member, who announced her pregnancy during the Season 14 "Off the Rails" post-finale special, took to Instagram on September 2 to look ahead to a "new season" in her life.
"As the sun sets on summer, I find myself facing a new season both literally and metaphorically," Rachel wrote in the caption of her post, which featured a photo of her looking off at the sunset while sitting on a boat.
She went on to open up about how the recent loss of her grandmother, Anna Del Vescovo, has led to a change in her perspective.
"Losing my grandmother has left me with a profound void, but her memory and love continue to guide me through the whirlwind of emotions and anticipation that come along with pregnancy," she continued in her caption.
Rachel then added that she's "choosing to honor Nonna by embracing the changing tides with grace, cherishing our memories, and looking forward to new beginnings that lie ahead."
Rachel Fuda's pregnancy journey
As previously mentioned, Rachel announced that she and her husband, John Fuda, are expecting another child on August 11.
The couple shares son Jaiden together (who Rachel has legally adopted) and daughters Gianella and Giuliana.
In an exclusive interview with The Daily Dish, Rachel gushed about how excited her family is to add a new addition.
"Our hearts are exploding!" Rachel said on August 12. "We feel so blessed and fortunate and grateful. Family is what I cherish most in this world and it is a gift to be able to add one more to ours."
Her daughters were especially excited about the news.
"They still have not stopped talking about having a baby!" Rachel added.
She also said that she and John don't have to make many changes to their home before their new bundle of joy arrives.
"Thankfully, most of the house is already baby-friendly since I've had the girls back-to-back," Rachel said to The Daily Dish. "We're looking at getting a new baby swing, some new essentials like bottles. [But] the most important thing is to have help! Which is why I am so grateful that my parents are blocking off two weeks for me after the baby is born."
