“When the doctor told us [it was twins], my husband fainted, which was just classic,” the then-mom-to-be saidwhen announcing her pregnancyin an exclusive January interview with PEOPLE.
“I think hesaw two sacs in there and Icould see it on his face. He turned white, and then when the doctor told us, he fell. Another doctor had to come in, and they were wiping him down with towels and giving him sugar,” Huntsman added of her husband. “I was sitting there with my feet still in the straps. I’m like, ‘This is ridiculous. I’m the one that has to physically do this.’ ”
