While season 5 may be the last season of Fixer Upper, it turns out it's a whole new beginning for Chip and Joanna Gaines. During last night's episode of the HGTV series, the family announced on Instagram that they're welcoming baby number five to the brood (which includes Drake, 12, Ella, 11, Duke, 9, and Emmie Kay, 7), much to the delight of Fixer Upper stans everywhere.
"Gaines party of 7.." Chip captioned a photo of both he and Joanna sporting matching baby bumps. "(If you’re still confused.. WE ARE PREGNANT)"
Joanna took to her Instagram to post a video of a recent ultrasound, in which you can see the future baby's heartbeat.

"Chip swears he can already tell it’s a boy," she captioned the video. "Look at the little heartbeat!! "
And in case you were interested in just how this happened (y0u know, other than the obvious), Chip has that story for you as well.

The couple aren't the only ones who are excited. Fixer Upper fans also took to social media to express their joy at the news.
