We React to Alyssa & Dallin's Video "Baby Number Two: Reactions and Announcement"

Alright everyone, welcome back to the channel! Today we're diving into a super exciting pregnancy announcement from Alyssa & Dallin in their latest video, "WE'RE PREGNANT | Baby #2!| Our Reactions & Family Reactions!" Let's break down all the heartwarming moments and key takeaways.



Right off the bat, the video jumps into the big news: Alyssa and Dallin are expecting baby number two!. They share that the baby is due in October. Alyssa was just one day late on her period when she decided to take a pregnancy test. Despite initially thinking she wasn't pregnant, the test came back positive, leading to a truly shocked reaction. Alyssa's immediate thought was, "Oh my god i didn't think I was pregnant my heart is pounding i need Tyler to come in here how do I get him to come in here".



Dallin was equally surprised. He was in the kitchen with Alyssa's brother, Boston, who was suggesting a parasite cleanse. Alyssa took the test to ensure she wasn't pregnant before starting the cleanse, as her family "loves their parasite cleanses". Dallin recounted his confusion, stating, "Why are you taking a pregnancy test?" as they both thought it was unlikely. He then heard Alyssa yell from the bedroom, "Do I didn't know what to do cuz I was like 'How do I get him in here?'", followed by the big reveal.



Interestingly, Alyssa hadn't even planned to film the test for YouTube, convinced it would be negative after having a couple of negative tests weeks prior and feeling no symptoms. This unexpected positive result made the moment even more genuine.



After sharing the news with each other, they had to figure out how to navigate the parasite cleanse situation with Boston. Alyssa had to pretend she took the medicine while keeping their secret. They were also further along in this pregnancy when they found out – almost 7 weeks compared to just 4 weeks with their first child, Lena.



The timing of the announcement was also quite eventful. Just two days later, they were heading to see Dallin's family because his brother Colton was returning home from his mission. Similar to when they found out about Lena, they were with family. However, they decided to hold off on sharing their news to ensure Colton's homecoming wasn't overshadowed, as he was coming home for surgery.



A couple of weeks later, they planned to tell both Dallin's and Alyssa's families. Their chosen method was adorable: getting a "big sister" shirt for Lena. It was fun to see who caught on quickly to the message on Lena's shirt. Their moms figured it out fast, while Alyssa's dad even hilariously noted that he thought he was wearing the same outfit as in Lena's announcement video. Telling Dallin's family was smoother as they had a place to change Lena's shirt. However, with Alyssa's family, the reveal happened at a restaurant. Alyssa's brothers, Brock and Alex, are currently on two-year missions, so Alex had to be told separately over the phone. There was even a minor hiccup when Dallin couldn't initially find shorts to go with Lena's "big sister" shirt in the car!



The family reactions were classic, with lots of disbelief and excitement, like "No way!," "You're lying!," and "Are you serious?". Lena even adorably declared, "I'm not going to be a big sissy!". Friends and other family members also expressed their surprise and excitement. Poor Boston was the last to find out since he was in Minnesota!



Soon after returning from Nashville, they had their first doctor's appointment and were able to hear the baby's heartbeat, which was a very exciting moment. It felt surreal for them to bring Lena to see her future sibling. Lena already shows awareness, pointing to herself when they ask "Where's the baby?" and to Alyssa's belly when prompted. They've also observed Lena interacting sweetly, albeit with some "love aggression," with other babies.



Alyssa noted that pregnancy with a toddler is definitely a different experience, requiring her to chase Lena around while feeling sick. However, she mentioned feeling less sick this time, which is a plus. They also compared cravings. Alyssa has been craving Craft mac and cheese and apples, similar to her cravings with Lena. However, a new craving this time is Top Ramen. Despite the mix of salty and sweet cravings, they confirmed it's not twins. The age gap between Lena and the new baby will be around 21 months, which they are very excited about. They anticipate a busy household with two under two for a few months.



They even cleverly used their family picture session as their announcement photos, with Alyssa teasing on TikTok about viewers unknowingly helping her pick her announcement outfit. They also reflected on how many significant life moments have occurred around Red Rock.



Looking ahead, they are trying to cherish their remaining time with just Lena. Dallin is planning to install a fire pit in the backyard for relaxing with the new baby. Alyssa is hopeful for a less anxious postpartum experience this time. Th...
