The newborn joins big brother Boomer, whom the couple welcomed in 2016. Ahead of the second birth, the anxious parents were eager to meet the newest addition to their growing family.

"We're ready to add another hand on top of ours...." Phelps captioned a sweet shot of all of their hands stacked on top of each other.

It was late August 2017 when the newlyweds announced they were expecting another little one. "Number 2 on the way!!!! So excited!! Wonder if it's a boy or a girl??" Phelps asked at the time.

"Lil mans going to be a Big Brother!!!" Nicole added on her social media.

A little more than a year earlier, the lovebirds tied the knot in a secret ceremony in June 2016. However, news of their nuptials didn't break until the following October.
