Another baby Bates is on the way!

Bringing Up Bates star Carlin Bates and husband Evan Stewart are expecting their second child together, her rep confirms to PEOPLE. The couple is already parents to daughter Layla Rae, who was born in January 2020.

Carlin, 23, shared the exciting announcement on Instagram Monday alongside photos of the family shopping together for their new addition.

The photos show the trio standing in the baby aisle at Target holding up an ultrasound picture and a sign that reads, "Baby Stew Coming 2022!"
