When my mom got pregnant with my little sister, I found out first because I was 3 and home and she couldn’t keep it to herself. And being an early gossip, I told my dad that night before she got the chance. When Carnie Wilson got pregnant, she went a more unconventional route – taping her pregnancy test to the front door of her home for her husband. Yep, a peed-on pregnancy test was stuck to her door for the whole world to see. That is much less cute than your kid spilling the beans.
Carnie Wilson – who lost nearly 50 pounds this year with OK! exclusively following her struggle to get slim and healthy – is now announcing her happy baby news. The singer and her musician husband, Rob Bonfiglio, are pregnant with their second child. “My due date is June,” Carnie, 40, proudly tells OK!. “We’re thrilled.” Here, the star reveals how she’ll stick to her diet and exercise routine while pregnant.
How did you find out you were expecting?
I was making dinner, and I took a home-pregnancy test. There was a second line, and I jumped and said, “Oh, my god, I’m pregnant!” Lola [my 3-year-old daughter] and I started screaming and jumping for joy. She was so excited!How did you tell your husband?
I couldn’t get a hold of Rob because he was playing a jazz gig. I taped the pregnancy test to the front door and drew a picture of little stick figures of Daddy, Mommy, Lola and then a little tiny one. I jumped out of bed at midnight and went into the kitchen and I see him holding the stick. He took me in his arms and goes, “Here we go again, honey.” He was happy.What are your hopes for the pregnancy?
I can’t stop thinking about twins! My sister had twins; my grandmother was a twin and my grandmother’s aunt had twins. I had my first ultrasound and we only saw one sac, but it’s not confirmed that it’s not two because one could be hiding in back of the other…. We’ll see!Did you expect to get pregnant so quickly after losing the weight?
I did, actually. We had sex before, during and after ovulation. I was really keeping track of it, and it worked. Also, my body is so healthy now. I think we might have conceived to “She’s Leaving Home” by The Beatles!

Um… um… I don’t really know what to say here. The whole article was one of those classic, awkward TMI situations. Carnie Wilson I am happy for you and your fertile womb. But I really don’t need to be privy to your sex schedule, nor to your doing it music. And I realize the pregnancy test taped to the door was meant to be cute, but somehow I can’t get over the bathroom angle of it. I know this is my own problem, but I really have an issue with things that have been in the toilet also being on my front door. Even when they’re really, really joyful.
Here’s Carnie with Ross Matthews, aka “Ross the Intern,” at The Ivy in Los Angeles on July 23rd. Images thanks to Fame.
Coming from a family where my daughter with the mentally abusive husband routinely cleans the toilet with his toothbrush, the pregnancy test on the front door bothers me not at all. I think she’s just very excited and overly talkative because of it.
OMG. I’m hiding my toothbrush! My sister gets back at her abusive husband by spending his money…I think it’s cool that Carnie W. lost the weight and don’t care if it’s TMI.
Oh man! What is wrong with some of the men out there? I’m sorry to hear that syko and orangejulius. Having been in the same boat with my father I recall spending school nights doing everyone’s laundry/dishes/sweeping/mopping/bathroom
cleaning, etc. You get the idea. Meanwhile poor mom was heaving in bed from chemo. But like I said, what’s wrong with some men?
Oh please God say it’s one of those nifty ones that tell you how long you’re “up the duff” – just so that every last little bit of information can be eked out of her story 😆
*re-reads article and mulls over two little tidbits*
I was making dinner, and I took a home-pregnancy test.
I was making dinner…. and I took a home-pregnancy test… dinner… and… 😯
What class of an unholy recipe book is she using?:
Step 1 – chop onions and garlic. Lightly sautée them for 5 minutes
Step 2 – piss on a white stick and try not to drop it. Walk around nervously until something appears in the little window.
Step 3 – add chopped tomatoes and stir.
*MIND….. BOGGLING*
I wouldn’t mind, but the feckin’ husband then brings it back into the kitchen!!!
That’d get me to stop eating in her house all right!
God, people. Urine is sterile. That said, I still think it’s a bit weird to wave your pee stick all around the house.
Also, psycho abusive people and toilet toothbrushes and revenge spending, oh my!
Rhymes – I actually do know that; 😉 It’s because of the ammonia, if memory serves. I left out mention of it for the sake of brevity. That’s about as close to a short post as I get 😳
It;s just the random way she phrased it baffled me – like it’s a quick job, like feeding the dog, that she had better do before the pasta overcooks.
Um, considering “She’s Leaving Home” is about a girl who runs away from home because she feels neglected by her parents…is that really the most cuddly song to conceive to?
I’m more bothered by the sex than the pee stick!
Hell, Ladies……… when I found out my Narcisistic hubby was cheating on me, I pee’d in his mouth wash and put cat sh#t and maple syrup in his work boots!!
Sometimes, you just gotta………..
As far as Carnie, congrats on the pregnancy, but why was my first thought “I bet she did it so she can stop dieting for a while”?
Who would be more fun to hang with, Carnie or say, Posh? Carnie seems like a blast, she’s down to earth and it appears she hopes her struggles will help inspire others with similar struggles. There’s never TMI in that context, just sharing info and experiences. God bless ya Carnie! Pee stick, pasta, preggers and all.
By the way, the piss in the mouthwash didn’t hurt the ass-clown cheating husband, you just gave him your extra vitamins (the water soluble ones). They drink urine in India all the time. But you can’t go wrong with the cat shit in the work boots.
^^ 😆 😆 @Mairead! This is why I look forward to your posts.
I heard on TMZ that she lost the weight doing the YRG Workout with former wrestler Diamond Dallas Page. Either way she looks Great!
