A post shared by Chip Gaines (@chipgaines) on Jan 2, 2018 at 7:08pm PST

“Gaines party of 7.. (If you’re still confused.. WE ARE PREGNANT)” Chip posted under a photo of the couple sporting their respective bumps, only one of which is from a baby.

The HGTV couple is already parents to two boys and two girls, Drake, Ella Rose, Duke, and Emmie Kay.

Many fans thought that their favorite couple’s baby news was a great way to start off 2018:

Some were even willing to forgive the couple for deciding to end their hit HGTV show after its fifth season, citing family as the reason behind their decision.

I can now forgive @chipgaines & @joannagaines for ending #FixerUpper! Congrats on #BabyGaines, can’t wait to see that nursery & bundle!!
