“Doctors are keeping a close eye on both of us and trying to keep him on the inside a little longer so he can get stronger,” she explained.

“All is well! I’m in great hands, and I have the best person keeping me calm and comfortable. “

She concluded with a heartfelt joke about her soon-to-be family of five: “Looks like we’ll be meeting our littlest boy sometime this week—six weeks early! Guess he couldn’t handle being left out of all the fun his brothers have been having!”

From Apple Picking to the ER

Ironically, Dreyer and her family had just enjoyed a carefree weekend of apple picking before the unexpected turn of events.

The day before her announcement, she posted adorable snapshots of herself, Brian, and their two sons—Calvin, 4, and Oliver, 1—happily enjoying the fall activity.

“I have a feeling we weren’t the only ones who went apple picking and ate too many apple cider donuts this weekend! My belly is due to the donuts!!” she captioned the post.

Dreyer’s husband, Brian Fichera, also shared his perspective from the hospital room.

On Tuesday, he posted a black-and-white photo of Dylan sleeping in her hospital bed, expressing admiration for her strength.

“A few extra sleepless nights on the pull-out bed is more than a fair trade to make sure everyone is as safe and healthy as possible when it comes time to meet this impatient little guy,” he wrote.

“Son, if you have just half of your mom’s courage and general bad-aery, you’re going to be something special.”**

Later, Brian shared a hilarious update about his temporary hospital life struggles, posting a video of himself flopping onto their bed at home after making a supply run.

“When your wife sends you home from the hospital to grab some things, and you catch a glimpse of your bed after spending the last couple of nights on the hospital cot…. “ he captioned the clip, adding the hashtags #babywatch #expecting #babynumber3.

Dylan’s Surprise Pregnancy After Infertility Struggles

Dreyer announced her third pregnancy in May, a heartwarming surprise after struggling with infertility.

She broke the news live on TODAY during a special “Cooking With Cal” segment, baking cinnamon rolls with her eldest son, Calvin, while playfully revealing she had a “bun in the oven.”

She later admitted on the show that she and Brian had given up on trying for a third child after facing fertility challenges again.

“We were trying for a third, and it wasn’t happening.

 So we thought, let’s forget about it and move on,” she revealed.

“Then boom—surprise!”

Her co-hosts Savannah Guthrie and Hoda Kotb later admitted they had suspected something, even exchanging text messages about whether she was pregnant.

However, they were stunned at how well she hid her growing bump.

Dylan and Brian’s Journey: A Family of Fighters

They were actually preparing to undergo their first round of IVF when they got a shocking phone call.

“I was just waiting for the call from my doctor, telling me how much of each drug to use,” Dylan recalled.

“Instead, when he called, he said, ‘Well, you can’t start IVF because you’re already pregnant!’ We were in complete shock.

 We couldn’t believe it!”
