Chris Lane‘s wife, Lauren Bushnell Lane, revealed that she has a pregnancy condition called marginal cord insertion which can sometimes keep the  baby from getting all of the nutrients it needs. It will require monitoring but Lauren says the baby is very healthy and she is staying positive. Chris and Lauren will welcome their second child in October.
