Meghan and Caeleb Dressel Announce Birth of Second Child, Josie Eloise Dressel<\/strong><\/p>\n

Nine-time Olympic champion\u00a0Caeleb Dressel<\/strong> and his wife\u00a0Meghan<\/strong> welcomed their second child early Monday morning. Their daughter\u00a0Josie Eloise Dressel<\/strong> was born just 16 months after her older brother,\u00a0August Wilder Dressel<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The couple shared an Instagram post showing the details of the birth and photos of their daughter. One image showed the two Dressel children meeting for the first time in the hospital. Meghan wrote in the Instagram post<\/a>:<\/p>\n

“While it was far from the birth story we thought it\u2019d be, our hearts are overflowing with joy and gratitude that we are all safe, healthy and here. We could not be more in love with our baby girl and are relishing in the sweetness of being home together as a family and having her in our arms.<\/p>\n
“Josie Eloise, you have changed and wrecked and made our hearts new. Your brother taught us how deep we could love, and you have taught us how hard and how wide. Welcome to the world baby girl. This crazy family has got you always, and we can\u2019t wait to love you so fiercely forever\ud83e\ude77<\/p>\n
“We also wanted to take a moment to say a special thank you to our team of providers at Shands Hospital who went above and beyond the call of duty fighting for us and with us through every unexpected curveball. If any of you are reading this, we can never say thank you enough for all you did for our family\ud83e\udd0d”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
