DeAnna & Stephen Stagliano - Bachelorette 4 - Discussion

Those are great pics! Their little girl is a cutie.

DeAnna Pappas Stagliano Welcomes a Son

DeAnna Pappas Stagliano doesn’t need a rose ceremony to declare her new love. The former Bachelorette has welcomed her second child, a son, with husband Stephen Stagliano, she announced via Twitter. “Welcome to the world little man,” she wrote. “We are thrilled to have you in our arms!” Baby boy Stagliano arrived at 8:15 p.m. on Tuesday, March 1. “DeAnna is doing great and cuddling with her new little boy"

The new addition joins big sister Addison Marie, 2. Months after revealing she and Stagliano were excited to expand their family, Pappas Stagliano, 34, announced their dream had come true — she was expecting a baby boy. “We have wanted more kids for a while now and are so blessed that we are pregnant again,” she revealed in August.

But while deciding on Addison’s moniker came easy to the couple, finding a name for their son proved to be a challenge. In her pregnancy blog for PEOPLE, the mom-to-be asked readers for suggestions. “The decision this time has been so hard, whereas with Addison we had her name picked out before we were even pregnant,” she wrote. “Stephen and I cannot seem to agree on a single one! The ones I love, he cannot get on board with and vice versa.”

But the difficulties didn’t end there: Pappas Stagliano was sick for weeks at the start of her pregnancy and tried to find the perfect balance for her growing family. “Sadly, this pregnancy has been much harder than when I was pregnant with Addison. My hormones are crazy this time around,” she wrote in another blog. “Maybe I underestimated how hard it can be to be pregnant with a toddler?!”

But despite the struggle, Pappas Stagliano admitted it was well worth it as she counted down the days until her son’s arrival. “Even though this pregnancy has been tough on me, I know we are so blessed to be having another child to love,” she shared as her due date of Feb. 26 came and went.

Weeks before welcoming her baby boy, the mom-to-be simultaneously celebrated Addison’s second birthday and her new role as big sister with a sweet tea party. “She’s grasping a lot more now,” Pappas Stagliano told PEOPLE. “I think it’s starting to feel real. She’s starting to get that there is somebody coming!”

Does that make his birthday February 29th? He's a leap year baby? That's kinda special!

Oh never mind, reading back the articles looks like it was actually March 1st.

Weighing in at 7 lbs., 11 oz. and measuring 22 inches long, Austin arrived at 8:15 p.m. on Tuesday, March 1.
