Dylan Dreyer is about to expand her family once again! The ‘Today’ show meteorologist and co-anchor, aged 37, is expecting her second child—a baby boy—this winter with her husband, Brian Fichera. The couple, already parents to 2½-year-old Calvin Bradley, are thrilled to welcome another son into their lives.

Dylan Dreyer’s Pregnancy Announcement

Dreyer announced her pregnancy on the ‘Today’ show, sharing her excitement about giving Calvin a little brother. “He continues to grow healthy and strong each day and yes, it’s another little boy, which we are all so excited about,” Dreyer told PEOPLE. Calvin, still quite young, has an amusing reaction to the news. “He sort of understands what’s going on but when you ask him about the baby, he says he wants to pet it. So we’ll see!” Dreyer joked to PEOPLE.

For fans eager to keep up with the latest pregnancy and birth announcements, as well as celebrity mom blogs, Dreyer’s journey is a source of joy and inspiration.

Overcoming Secondary Infertility

Dylan Dreyer’s path to her second pregnancy was not without challenges. The TV personality revealed on the ‘Today’ show in April that she had experienced a miscarriage the previous winter and struggled with secondary infertility. Dreyer and Fichera were preparing to start in vitro fertilization (IVF) when they received the unexpected and joyous news of her pregnancy.

“We couldn’t believe it!” Dreyer exclaimed, reflecting on her experience. She had undergone surgery to remove extensive scarring from her emergency cesarean section delivery of Calvin.

Dreyer expressed her gratitude towards Dr. David Reichman of the Cornell Center for Reproductive Medicine, acknowledging his role in making her successful pregnancy possible. “I do thank God for [Dr. David Reichman] because I know the surgery he did … made a huge difference,” she added. “But I also think my prayers were answered.”

Keeping the Secret

Although Dreyer was already pregnant when she publicly shared her struggles with infertility in April, she managed to keep the news a secret for a while.

Her secret was eventually unveiled to one of her ‘Today’ show co-stars, Craig Melvin, during his birthday party in May, despite her efforts to disguise her water as a martini. “Al Roker figured it out beforehand,” Dreyer revealed to PEOPLE. “He was the first to know when I was pregnant with Calvin too. He said to me, ‘I just have an inkling.’”

Support from Fellow Co-Anchor Jenna Bush Hager

Dreyer previously expressed her concerns about going public with her fertility struggles, fearing criticism. “Going into it, I thought I was going to get a little bit of negative pushback—kind of like, ‘Well, you already have a son, so be happy for what you have,’” she said.

However, after sharing her story, Dreyer found support and solidarity among other women experiencing similar struggles. Her openness helped “open up a conversation” about secondary infertility and the emotional challenges associated with it.

Expecting Baby Number Three

The exciting news doesn’t stop there. Dylan Dreyer is now expecting her third child with husband Brian Fichera. The couple, who already have sons Oliver George, 16 months, and Calvin Bradley, 4, shared the news on Tuesday’s episode of ‘Today.’

Dreyer revealed the news in a delightful segment where Calvin helped her announce it by making cinnamon “buns in the oven.” Dreyer, who is due in November, promised to reveal the baby’s sex during the show’s third hour.

“We really enjoy having kids,” Dreyer said. “Calvin and Ollie, they’re so much fun. And we’re like, ‘Let’s try for a third.’ And it wasn’t happening so we said, ‘Let’s forget it, let’s move on.’ And then, of course, surprise!”

Addressing Secondary Infertility and Miscarriage

Dreyer, now 39, has been open about her experiences with secondary infertility and miscarriage. After struggling to conceive for six months, she was referred to a specialist and eventually conceived son Oliver.

In April 2019, Dreyer discussed her struggles on the ‘Today’ show and announced her pregnancy in July after undergoing surgery to clear out scarring from her previous cesarean section. This procedure, she believes, played a crucial role in her successful pregnancy.

“I was just waiting for the phone call from Dr. Reichman to tell me how much of each drug to use,” Dreyer recalled about her planned ovarian-stimulation cycle. “Instead, when he called, he said, ‘Well, you can’t start IVF because you’re already pregnant!’ We were in complete shock. We couldn’t believe it!”

Dreyer believes that sharing her story made a significant impact. “By putting my story out there, I feel like the thousands of prayers and good wishes we received really made a difference,” she said. “I knew it was in God’s hands, and this is certainly an answered prayer.”

A Busy Year for Dylan Dreyer

Aside from her pregnancy news and being a mom to two boys, it’s been a busy year for Dreyer. She received her COVID-19 vaccine live on air alongside her co-anchors and is preparing to release her debut children’s picture book, “Misty the Cloud: A Very Stormy Day.” The book, the first in an eventual series, is a heartwarming story about kids understanding and dealing with their emotions.

According to Dreyer, the book was an idea “10 years in the making” that she and Fichera developed together. “It’s been a long time coming, so I’m just so proud it’s finally here,” she said.

Conclusion

Dylan Dreyer’s journey through pregnancy, infertility struggles, and motherhood has been filled with ups and downs, but her openness and positivity have resonated with many. As she prepares to welcome her third child, Dreyer’s story continues to inspire and uplift those facing similar challenges.
