"We're going to pretend Christmas is sooner than when we go to the hospital so our kids don't know anything different."

Catherine and the former The Bachelor star, 36, announced in June they're expecting Baby No. 3 after bringing Samuel and Isaiah into the world in July 2016 and May 2018, respectively.

Catherine said while Isaiah, 18 months, "has no idea what's coming for him" since he's "still a baby," Samuel is "so excited" to have another sibling.

"We told him that Santa is going to bring him a baby," Catherine shared with the magazine.

"He did really well with Isaiah, so I think he'll do really well with the new baby."

Since the new baby is coming so soon after Isaiah's birth, Catherine admitted she and her husband are trying to "cherish every second" with him.

"He really didn't get to have his own babyhood," Catherine explained.

"I was a middle child too... I know immediately when I have a newborn in my arms, Isaiah's not going to be a baby in my thoughts."

Back in July, Sean -- who fell in love and proposed to Catherine on Season 17 of The Bachelor -- admitted to Us that Catherine's third pregnancy happened "sooner than planned."

"The idea of raising three kids under three and a half years old, that's a little daunting if I'm being honest!" Sean said at the time.

"[Catherine]'s first thought was probably not excitement! Her first thought was probably, 'Wait, we're having a baby? I already have a baby! I'm not ready for another baby!' But after a few hours I think she got excited."

After getting engaged on The Bachelor's 2013 finale, Sean and Catherine wed in January 2014. They will celebrate their sixth wedding anniversary on January 26, 2020.

Sean and Catherine are the only couple in The Bachelor's 23-season history to tie the knot after getting engaged at the show's final Rose Ceremony.

While Jason Mesnick and Arie Luyendyk Jr. are both happily married, each former Bachelor dumped his season's final-rose recipient for the runner-up. (Jason is married to Molly Malaney and Arie's wife is Lauren Burnham).

And as for The Bachelor's Season 23 star, Colton Underwood, he is still dating his season's winner, Cassie Randolph, but they are not even engaged yet.

Catherine shared with Us in January 2019 how she and Sean have managed to last all these years.

"Things get hard, but when you realize you don't ever want to say goodbye to the other person, you have to make it work!" Catherine reasoned.

"There are only two options: Don't or do. And we always wanted to do whatever it takes to stay together."
