The couple met on The Bachelorette Season 9, where Hartsock Siegfried delivered the final rose to Siegfried, who exchanged it for a 3.5-carat Neil Lane engagement ring. They married in January 2015, in a fairytale wedding complete with a library-set reception and appearance by singer Matt White.

The Siegfrieds announced their baby news on Instagram in April, alongside a photo of the twosome pointing at her belly.

“We have a bun in the oven and it’s not the warm pastry kind!” Hartsock Siegfried wrote. “We are beyond excited to share that we have a little one on the way!! A new chapter we are both looking forward to.”

In August, the couple took to Instagram again to share the sex of their soon-to-arrive first child, holding up a baseball with a special message inscribed on it.

Guess what?!

Siegfried, 30, currently works as a mortgage banker. Hartsock Siegfried, who is a blogger, author and wedding-dress designer, has regularly updated her Instagram account and website with sweet baby-bump shots and details about her first pregnancy.

“Chris has been awesome,” Hartsock Siegfried told PEOPLE exclusively in June. “I wasn’t sure if he’d be nervous or anxious, but he’s so great. He’s really understanding. I’m so lucky.”

She added, “I think it only hit me recently that I’m actually pregnant and this is really happening. But I’m so excited. We just look forward to growing our family.”
