Williams then gets up and says she’ll be right back, and returns with a tightly swaddled newborn. Settling back in between her husband and daughter, both lean into her, looking at the infant in her arms. At one point, Olympia leans in and plants a kiss on her baby sister’s forehead. The video ends with Polaroid-style shots of the new family of four.
Speaking with PEOPLE about his recent partnership with Sharpie, Ohanian beamed at how fired up Olympia is about having a younger sibling.

“No one’s more excited than her,” the proud dad shared. “She’s been wanting this. She’s been praying and asking about this for quite some time, so she’s very ready.”
Ohanian also opened up about feeling more confident about welcoming baby No. 2 than his first go around as a dad.

“We’re not first-time parents anymore. I feel more confident about having a newborn, all of those things that I just had zero confidence about with Olympia because I’d never even been around babies at that point in my life,” he explained.
“We’re also obviously taking every precaution and doing everything we can to make sure everything goes smoothly for Serena.”
