Not only did former Bachelorette Desiree Hartsock find true love with husband Chris Siegfried, but she's about to discover another type of all-encompassing love with a little one bound to capture her heart. Hartsock and Siegfried revealed their baby's gender on Instagram with an adorable photo and message for their fans. And the couple is having... a boy!
"We are so excited to share that we are having a little baby BOY!" Hartsock wrote. "Our hearts are so full of love for our little man already and we can't thank you all enough for the extra love you've shared during this special time."
Their gender reveal came with a little help from their sweet dachshund and a baseball with the words "It's a boy" written on it:

How adorable and happy do they both look? Since getting married last year, after Hartsock chose Siegfried as the bachelor of her dreams on Season 9, the couple seem so content in their new life together. Marriage is also doing wonders for Hartsock's career. She has recently published a book called The Fairytale Wedding, in which she provides advice to couples who want to throw the wedding of their dreams but don't want to go bankrupt in the process. Judging by the details of Hartsock and Siegfried's wedding, which consisted of a breathtakingly beautiful but relatively simple celebration at Wayfarer's Chapel in Los Angeles, it sure sounds like she is an authority on the subject.
She and Siegfried announced they were having a baby back in April, and Hartsock has been generous with fans ever since, posting regular updates on her progress alongside cute baby bump photos.

Hartsock is spending the last few months of her pregnancy (she's due in October) touring the nation in support of her book. And judging by her hectic schedule — she traveled to New Jersey, New York, Colorado and Texas in the same week — it's pretty obvious she is feeling super amazing these days. Congrats to Desiree and Chris! We can't wait to hear what baby boy names they have in mind.
