HGTV stars Erin and Ben Napier reveal they’re expecting second child ‘in just a few weeks’ and the announcement video is too cute

Home Town stars Erin and Ben Napier will be welcoming a new addition to their family in just a few weeks as they prepare to for the arrival of another baby girl.

The HGTV favorites revealed their exciting news in a sweet Instagram post on Sunday night as they confirmed the happy secret they have been keeping from the world.

Sharing an adorable video showcasing the couple spending time with their three-year-old daughter Helen and also moments from their current pregnancy journey, the couple both explained how thrilled they were to be expanding their brood.

In her caption, Erin stated: ‘By now most of you know that in just a few weeks we will be adding another little face to our home videos and photo albums. Just like Helen did, her little sister has made it easy to keep her secret by being tiny even now, and I’m deeply thankful that we’ve had almost 8 months of keeping this our news just for our family and close friends.

‘Last spring, I put away the changing table supplies because I no longer had an infant. I put it away in the guest room closet and then I cried because I thought how lonesome Helen must feel up there in her crib beside an empty room every night. A few weeks later, I watched my daddy and his brother standing at my grandmother’s graveside. Two men with many differences strengthened each other. Two men who knew her better than any of us ever could.’

The reality star – who had previously told she would struggle to have children – added: ‘Siblings do that, they know and remember and keep the stories of a family alive. And we wanted that for Helen.

‘Someone to stand with her when we can’t someday. And now she’ll have a cousin following just a few weeks behind her, too. We are so thankful. Even in our celebrating, I’m thinking of the would-be parents waiting for their own babies.

‘For many it can be such a long and difficult journey and I pray for strength for you if that’s where you are. God answers in His own time, not ours, awfully hard as that can be. Sending so much love to y’all today. 💓’

Ben also shared a touching caption for the video as he wrote: ‘I grew up with built-in best friends. My 3 brothers and I speak our own language and know the dance when it’s time to move a piano into a house together. Helen will have that with her little sister. It makes me even happier to know that there’ll be another Napier baby right around the corner from us.

‘There was a time when @erinapier and I didn’t know if we would have kids. I would’ve been happy with just the 2 of us, or just the 3 of us, but I can’t wait to see the 4 of us.’

Speaking to People magazine about their happy news, the pair confirmed they found out they were expecting while ‘simultaneously filming Home Town in Laurel, Mississippi and new show Home Town Takeover around 200 miles away in Wetumpka, Alabama.

We hope the busy duo manage to get in a bit of rest in these next few weeks before their bundle of joy arrives!
