"We're really, really excited to meet her. It's been a long time coming," Lauren told ET.
"I've been pregnant for seven-ish months, so it's about time to get my body back and to meet our baby. We're really happy."
Arie said it's been enjoyable to be by Lauren's side during her first pregnancy.
"I think it's cool, you know?" the pro racing driver-turned-real estate agent noted.
"We're experiencing being new parents, so we're on all the apps, learning about the development of the baby, and it's just been an awesome ride so far. I can't wait for her to come."
The couple previously revealed in March their baby girl's name -- which they had picked out since Christmas -- is something "beautiful" and original.
Arie and Lauren won't reveal the moniker until their first child is born, but the mom-to-be reiterated to ET, "It was a name we kind of tweaked into something unique. We don't really know anybody who's named that."
The almost-parents are reportedly headed to Bermuda for a babymoon so they can spend some alone time together before their little bundle of joy arrives.

Arie reportedly admitted it feels a "little" good to be able to prove he's ready to be a husband and father despite what the critics have said about him.

"It wasn't ever about proving anyone wrong for us, it was our life," Lauren reasoned.
"[It was] about doing what we wanted," Arie added.
Lauren and Arie, who got married in Hawaii in January 2019, announced they're expecting Baby No. 1 in November 2018.
Two months later, the couple revealed they have a baby girl on the way, and Lauren has been sharing the progress of her baby's development and her bodily changes ever since.
Arie and Lauren began dating on The Bachelor's 22nd season in 2018, but the show's star picked Becca Kufrin during the season finale.
Weeks later, Arie dumped Becca, claiming his heart really belonged to his season's runner-up, Lauren, all along.
Once Lauren agreed to give Arie a second chance, the couple got engaged on The Bachelor: After the Final Rose in March 2018.
