“Gaines party of 7.. (If you’re still confused.. WE ARE PREGNANT) @joannagaines,” Chip posted on Instagram, along with a picture of the couple both showcasing their growing bellies (Chip’s of course, being fake).

Chip and Joanna have four children already: Drake, 12, Ella, 11, Duke, 9, and Emmie Kay, 7.

Following the couple’s announcement, HGTV tweeted their congratulations: “Congrats @joannagaines & @chipgaines! We can’t wait to meet #BabyGaines. #FixerUpper #GrowingUpGaines.”

The couple has also been in the news recently with the announcement that season 5 of Fixer Upper will be the last season.

“This is just us recognizing that we need to catch our breath for a moment,” Chip and Joanna wrote in a blog. “Our plan is to take this time to shore up and strengthen the spots that are weak, rest the places that are tired and give lots of love and attention to both our family and our business,” the couple wrote in that announcement.

With this recent pregnancy announcement, it does indeed seem like a good time for the couple to focus even more on their family.

International Christian Concern (ICC) has learned that at least 23 religiously-motivated attacks took place during the 2017 Christmas season, including attacks on carolers and open threats against Christian celebrations. The attacks have led to several Christians’ hospitalization and imprisonment. The persecution created such fear among the Christian community that many Christians did not celebrate Christmas this year.

On December 19, an attack occurred in Rajasthan by a radical Hindu group, the Vishwa Hindu Parishad, against a Christian gathering in response to alleged forced conversions. According to Pastor Bansilal Mena, one of the organizers of the event, more than 300 Christians gathered at a community hall to celebrate Christmas, after receiving permission to hold the event.

“I was depressed, anxious. I started to have panic attacks right before getting on-stage, or right after leaving the stage,” she continued.

Gomez went on to say that it was on her 23rd birthday that she finally gave her life to God and He became “real” to her.

She shares that she heard the Holy Spirit speak to her and say:

“Selena, you are enough! Not because you’ve tried hard, not because you have loved hard or put on your best face. Not because you have been given a large platform and not because others tell you ‘you are enough,'” she declared. “You are enough because you are a child of God who has been pursued from the very beginning.
