As if Hallmark’s Countdown to Christmas wasn’t enough to lift our spirits this holiday season, we just heard that Christmas in Evergreen: Tidings of Joy star Jill Wagner is pregnant with her and husband David Lemanowicz's first baby. (This will be David's second child, as he's already a dad to 9-year-old Lija.)

The 40-year-old actress shared her exciting news on Instagram with a trio of shots showcasing her bump.

“I am so happy to officially and finally tell the world that David and I are expecting !!!” she wrote. “This wasn’t an easy road and through a lot of prayer this little one found the way to us. I have never been a super maternal woman but I feel changes happening already just in this short amount of time. To all the mothers out there, I am honored to be a part of your team.”

Jill’s famous friends have been pouring love into her comments. Mystery 101: Dead Talk's Robin Thomas commented on her photo, saying “So guessing I’ll be a grandpa soon!!!!” Meanwhile, Braven co-star Jason Momoa wrote, “i’m so happy for you two. love u jilly” followed by over a dozen winking, heart-eyes, and praise emojis. And Hallmark queen Lacey Chabert wrote, “So thrilled for you."

In an interview with People, Jill shared how amazing she feels, and how shocked she was to hear the news.

“The little one has been taking it very easy on me. No morning sickness, praise the lord!” she said. “My husband and I had been trying for a while and I finally stopped stressing over it and made an appointment with a fertility doctor. We actually found out at the doctor’s appointment that I was already pregnant. It was shocking, scary and the best feeling in the world all at once!”
