Alyssa — the sixth eldest Bates child — and her husband, John Webster, have announced that they are expecting another little girl, who will be little sister to their firstborn, Ailie, born April 2015.

The couple, who married in May 2014, celebrated the news with a gorgeous gender reveal photo shoot and also shared their due date of Jan. 27, 2017.

“John and I are simply overwhelmed with happiness to be expecting another baby girl. We are highly anticipating our daughter’s arrival… January can’t come soon enough!” 21-year-old Alyssa said in a statement.

The new arrival will be the sixth Bates grandchild, joining Zach and Whitney’s son Bradley, 1, and daughter Kaci, 3 months, Chad and Erin’s son Carson, 1, and daughter Brooklyn, 1 month, as well as big sister Ailie.
