Chelsea Houska has officially confirmed she's pregnant with her fourth baby. The "Teen Mom 2" star, already seeing fans wonder if a bun was in the oven this summer, made it official on Wednesday via her Instagram, but she didn't go down the usual route.
Chelsea, 28, is currently a mom to 10-year-old Aubree, 3-year-old Watson, and 1-year-old Layne. The MTV face today confirmed she'll be bumping up the Houska/DeBoer headcount with 2016-married Cole DeBoer. The post did not, however, follow the traditional sonogram route. Check it out below.

Scroll for the photo that doubled up as a reminder that Chelsea and Cole are prepping their farmhouse style mansion – the couple currently lives in the $418,000 South Dakota property they purchased in 2018.
The adorable and minimalist snap showed nothing but a wooden doorway panel with a blurred background of floor-to-ceiling windows. On the panel were the names of everyone in the Houska/DeBoer household. It read: "Cole, Chelsea, Aubree, Watson, Layne," with the bottom name listed as: "Baby" with a heart emoji.

Chelsea, followed by 5.7 million and by far the most-followed cast member from the "Teen Mom" franchise, racked herself up over 230,000 likes in under 40 minutes. She also didn't fall short on the congratulations, with the comments section now overflowing.
Instagram is literally going wild. "What!?? Yay! How many kiddos do you want?? You make beautiful babies!!" one fan wrote. Another added: "So exciting ???? Congratulations! Love seeing your sweet family grow♥️"

The news comes less than two days after "Teen Mom 2" co-star Kailyn Lowry confirmed she had safely welcomed her baby. The Pothead haircare founder confirmed to E! News on Monday that she had welcomed her fourth boy at home. She said:
"No name yet but we are all healthy and so in love." The mom of four's son weighed 8 lbs 15 oz. and was born on July 30. As to Chelsea, fans have been eagerly awaiting the Lauribelles partner to up her kiddie count. Some, however, had guessed it before the announcement.

Chelsea's followers seem to have smelled this one coming. June saw the star spark rumors that she might be expecting, but there was zero evidence. "Knew this was coming!" one fan wrote.
Back in February, Chelsea addressed whether she wants to have more kids as she answered questions while making Super Bowl snacks. A fan had asked: "Any more babies in the future?"
Chelsea had replied: "We have a lot coming up, but we do want another. Maybe once our house is done."
