Besides immigrants of whatever origin tending to be more hopefull and have more kids, kids have become a bit fashionable in the past 7 or 10 years.

Many of the baby boomers married late and had few kids.

Now some non-boomers see marriage in a more favorable light.

There may also be a slight trend of women having their kids earlier, before 30, when they are less likely to need medical help with fertility. Many women see they can go back to a career after the kids are older, the choice is not either/or, or carreer first, but when.

Some other studies have shown a tendency for higher income and more educated people to have slightly more children than they used to.

This may change the demographic window for the US.
