The "Dancing With the Stars" (DWTS) alum Lindsay Arnold felt nothing but gratefulness for this year. The American and Latin professional dancer pondered on her personal and family blessings for Thanksgiving and shared a glimpse of her baby bump in family photos featuring her husband, Samuel Lightner Cusick, and two-year-old daughter, Sage Jill.

The former contestant of "So You Think You Can Dance" posted the photos on Instagram with the caption, "Feeling so blessed and grateful this year. Happy Thanksgiving to you and your loved ones!"

Arnold nestled her baby bump in an orange floral sundress as her husband donned a red checkered long-sleeve and carried their daughter, who wore an adorable white dress for the family photos. The three posed before a beautiful fall landscape.

The 28-year-old actress recently shared similar photos when she and her husband exclusively announced that they were expectant parents of a second child last month. Earlier this month, the couple revealed they are having a baby girl.

DWTS alum feels hesitant to be excited at first

The "Days of Our Lives: A Very Salem Christmas" actress shared that after speaking up about her fertility struggles, she was initially hesitant to feel excited. However, there was a point where that emotion switched.

Arnold says it was a surreal moment when she finally heard her bundle of joy's heartbeat and the life that grew inside her during the first ultrasound.

After the consultation and ultrasound, the professional choreographer realized it was the moment she and her husband had been waiting for and what the couple could only do is to trust the entire process, her body, and God's perfect timing.

Trust plays a vital role in their process, and at the moment, it is what they are currently doing.

According to People, the professional dancer announced in September that she was finally leaving DWTS after more than a decade to devote her entire time to her family, especially her children. She added that it was one of the hardest decisions, but she believes she has chosen what is best for her and her family.

The family went to the happiest place on Earth

Arnold brought her little fam to everyone's favorite and happiest place on Earth: Disneyland. The soon-to-be-mom of two posted photos of her and her daughter Sage Jill on Instagram and captioned them with "Nothing better than creating memories with my little girl," as she carried her eldest on her shoulder.

The professional dancer shared another set of photos of her daughter smiling in front of Cinderella's castle while wearing a red and white onesie with an adorable and massive red-and-white striped bow which she shared Sunday.

Arnold says it was the best day with her little family. The three spent the day strolling around the park.

In another IG story, a pigtailed Sage tattled with excitement about going to the pool with mom and daddy. The eldest was all smiles while being held in the pool by her daddy.

Yahoo Entertainment reported that it was indeed visible that the dancer had more time to take family trips after the announcement of her departure from DWTS last month.
