However, he soon realized there was a slight hiccup that was overlooked.

"As I'm writing the handwritten message, I get the cards mixed up," Nick admitted. "So, when one baby mama reads the card about how I feel about the other baby mama—see if I would just got some generic s--t that everybody else got, that wouldn't have happened."
