Robert Griffin III’s family is getting ready to expand.

“Getting ready was fun, I told my makeup artist that someone else doing your hair and makeup at 8.5 months pregnant feels like a full body massage,” she exclusively tells PEOPLE. “We had a lot of fun getting ready.”

The couple snuck away after the event to see the Christmas Tree at Rockefeller Center, taking in one of their last date nights before their new addition arrives.

This pregnancy, Grete says she has faced some difficult times but that she is feeling better in the home stretch.

“Physically, I feel better than I did around 25-27 weeks. Then, my body was so sore, and a lot of places hurt,” she notes. “Right now, seems like everything has settled in. I have the normal aches and pains, and it’s getting harder not to ‘waddle’ while walking but otherwise, so far, so good!”
