'Fixer Upper' news: Chip and Joanna Gaines expecting baby no. 5

"Fixer Upper" couple Chip and Joanna Gaines reveals the arrival of their fifth child in a series of adorable teasers via social media.

It all began with a short clip, which Chip posted on Twitter as hint number 1.

"Anytime she asks for pickles on top of that ice cream, you know what that means," Chip says in the video. Joanna defends that has not happened in five or six years, vaguely referring to the last time she was pregnant with their youngest, who is now seven years old. The pair went on to alternately say the words "number 5" in a series of short clips.

It was quite obvious what they were talking about, and delighted fans were quick to identify that they are having another baby.

Still, the Instagram confirmation from Chip was more than welcome.

In the post, the couple was snapped looking at each other, while wearing a similar top. Joanna sported her baby bump for the first time, while her husband showcased his beer belly, which Joanna held tenderly.

It was captioned, "Gaines party of 7.. (If you're still confused.. WE ARE PREGNANT)."

Chip was so excited about it, he even revealed how the baby was conceived, talking about that night folk duo Johnnyswim visited Waco for a way too romantic concert. "Anyways, one thing led to another, & we are officially pregnant. And I could not be more EXCITED! #5 #7ThePerfectNumber," the 43-year-old soon-to-be father of five said via Twitter.

Completing the announcement is a sonogram clip from the 39-year-old mother, showing their baby's little heartbeat. From this alone, "Chip swears he can already tell it's a boy."
