«"I feel like every time I tell someone about this, they're somehow surprised," she said of her decision to walk the runway while pregnant. "I say, 'Yes, I'm going to walk.' And they ask, 'Really?' I say, 'Yes. It doesn't slow me down at all.' So I feel great. I'm very happy.".

«"I feel a different energy this year," she said. "It's going to be a really special year because I feel like I have a fun accessory to play with on the runway.".
Austin, the daughter of '80s fitness icon Denise Austin, announced she was pregnant with her first child with husband Lane Armstrong on March 15, a few weeks before their second wedding anniversary.

Speaking to PEOPLE magazine before her runway appearance, Katie admitted that she was starting to "slow down" at this stage of her pregnancy.
«"I'm starting to feel like, 'Wow, we're getting there. Oh my God, my belly is getting bigger,'" the model continued. "But I feel really good, probably better than ever. I have nothing to complain about.".
In early May, ahead of Swimsuit Week, Katy told PEOPLE that one of the biggest differences about walking the runway while pregnant was that she couldn't have her "annual pre-runway tequila shot.".
