Ali Fedotowsky felt confident that baby No. 2 would just pop right out. “I sort of expected my second delivery to be a piece of cake,” the former Bachelorette told Us Weekly on Thursday, May 24. “Boy was I wrong!”
The Aliluvs blogger, 33, and her husband, Kevin Manno, welcomed a baby boy at 12:57 a.m. on Thursday. He weighed in at 8 pounds, 11 ounces and measured 21.5 inches. The newborn joins 22-month-old sister Molly.
As soon as Fedotowsky saw her son’s face, she forgot all about the pain. “It was all completely worth it,” she told Us. “He’s such a sweetheart. Nothing can ever compare to the moment you first lay eyes on your baby.”
She then teased of having two kids: “I guess that means I’m officially an adult, huh?”
Fedotowsky penned an open letter to her firstborn, Molly, on May 21. “As your brother comes into this world, I want you to know how much we’ve treasured this time with you as our only baby,” she wrote in an emotional blog post. “But we truly believe that your world is about to get so much sweeter with the addition of your brother. You have so much love to give and we know you will be the best person in his life.”
The TV personality announced in November 2017 that she and the radio host were expecting their second child. They had dreamed of having kids close in age. “We would love to have two, two years apart because that’s what Kevin and his brother were and they are super, close close,” she told Us four months before revealing her pregnancy. “Kevin and his brother are best friends.”
