Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Teddi Mellencamp has some big news: She’s pregnant with her third child! The reality TV personality already shares two kids—Slate, 6, and Cruz, 5—with husband Edwin Arroyave.

Teddi shared the news with Us Weekly and revealed that she’s been keeping things under wraps for a little while now. "I’m in my second trimester, 14 weeks," she said. "Everything’s good and I’m in the clear, so I’m just starting to get to that point where I’m sharing with everybody. Plus, now I have a bump, so there’s not much more hiding I’ll be able to do!"

Besides Teddi and Edwin already being parents of two, Edwin also has a 10-year-old daughter named Isabella from a previous relationship.

Teddi told the publication her kids are "so excited" about their growing family. "They’ve been talking about it for a long time and actually it’s been my son who’s been like, ‘Mom, we need to have another baby,’ and I never wanted to get his hopes up," Teddi explained. "So when we told him, he was through the roof. So excited."

Teddi said her kids are so stoked, in fact, that they’re "already calling it ‘their baby,’ and they have names picked for if it’s a boy or a girl—they’re ready!"

Teddi also shared the news on her Instagram, and was soon flooded with celebratory comments. "Congrats again Teddi," said actress Garcelle Beauvais.

"Such a blessing. Congrats honey," wrote Real Housewives of Dallas star Stephanie Hollman.

RHOBH star Erika Jayne also told Us that she’s "so excited" for Teddi’s baby. "I’m loving watching Teddi’s journey and can’t wait to squeeze this little bundle of joy!" she said.

Teddi said she underwent IVF to conceive Slate and Cruz, but this baby was a surprise. "My husband said, ‘I don’t want to see you going through IVF again — that was brutal,’" Teddi recalled. "It was so many rounds, but this time we really weren’t doing anything! I was on vacation! Just having fun with my family! It was a complete surprise. I didn’t even know I was because I didn’t have a regular cycle."

The couple is now thinking of buying a larger car ("I’m like… ‘We’re going to start having to look at minivans! What’s happening!?’" Teddi said), and Teddi said she’s only recently started believing she’s pregnant. "I’m just in the past couple weeks a little more hesitant to do things I would normally do because it’s sinking in that I have a baby in my belly," she said.
