Mark those calendars: We now know when to expect Royal baby No. 2!

Kate Middleton and Prince William "are delighted to confirm they are expecting a baby in April 2015," the palace said in a statement Monday.

Prince George's mom "continues to be affected by Hyperemisis Gravidarum [acute morning sickness]," the statement continued, "but her condition is steadily improving."

That's certainly good news! The Duchess of Cambridge, 32, has been forced to cancel a number of events due to pregnancy complications, but she's scheduled to make a public appearance this Tuesday. Per the palace statement, Kate and Prince William, also 32, will greet The President of the Republic of Singapore and Mrs Tony Tan Keng Yam on behalf of Queen Elizabeth II. The royal couple will meet the the president and Mrs. Tan at London's Garden Hotel and then travel with them to the Horse Guards Parade. There, the president will receive a Ceremonial Welcome as part of his state visit.

That's not all, though! Kate plans to attend another event Tuesday—the Wildlife Photographer of the Year 2015 Awards Ceremony at The Natural Museum of History. Further details about the event are still to come.

Hopefully, though, we'll get to see Kate's burgeoning baby bump in photos from both events! And just think--only six months until we get to meet the baby that's fourth in line to the throne! Of course, if he or she is anything like big brother George, royal baby No. 2 might come a few weeks after the expected due date!
