A girl is on the way!
Ryan Lochte and wife Kayla Rae Reid announced Sunday that their second little Lochte is a girl.
The couple posted a video and photos from the big reveal to Instagram, showing Lochte opening a large wrapped box with question-mark wrapping paper. Indicating the sex of their baby, a bunch of pink balloons came out.
Both parents seem delighted by the reveal in the video, with Lochte raising his arms high above his head in celebration, and mom Reid holding 18-month-old big-brother-to-be Caiden Zane, who seemed a bit overwhelmed by the commotion.
Lochte posted a photo from the moment, joking that Caiden was upset he wasn’t getting a little brother.
“Yes!!!!! It’s a girl!” Lochte wrote in the caption. “I guess @caidenzanelochte wanted a boy haha #girl #soblessed #cloud9.”
Also audible in the video are a bunch of well-wishers reacting happily to the news and offering hugs and congratulations. Both Lochte and Rae Reid received a flood of congratulations from friends and Instagram followers.
They also shared a photo of further celebrations, in which Lochte and Reid are shooting pink and white confetti in the air in what appears to be their backyard.

The couple announced they were expecting their second child on Instagram late last month, by sharing a family photo featuring themselves and then-17-month-old Caiden Zane.
In the snap, the dad-to-be held up an ultrasound photo and, adorably, Caiden had his sweater pulled up and is gazing down at his own belly.
“BOOM! Baby number 2! Can’t wait to bring my fam of 4 to #tokyo2020,” Lochte, 34, captioned the post, while Reid wrote alongside hers, “We are SO SO EXCITED! Baby #2. We can’t wait to meet you already!” and shared that the new addition was due in June.

The couple told PEOPLE exclusively, “Caiden is hands down the best part of our lives, so we can’t wait to grow our family together and watch him become a big brother!”
The Olympic swimmer and former Playboy model wed at their Florida home in January and again in a more lavish California celebration in September.
Reid previously revealed to PEOPLE that she thought she would have a girl.
“We always said we’d have a boy first and we did. So now we’re gonna have a girl,” Reid said optimistically in September. “I like being pregnant around Christmas time, so maybe I’ll be pregnant by Christmas.”
Lochte added: “Since I met [Kayla], I’ve always wanted two kids before 2020 Olympics so it will be perfect if we get pregnant before 2019,” said the soon-to-be father of two.”
