Mum blogger Jessica Roberts took to Instagram last week (19 July 2017), to share the news that she was expecting her seventh child with her husband Don. And her pregnancy announcement was the sweetest thing!
Jessica Roberts, from St. Louis, Missouri, decided to announce her baby news on Instagram with a sweet snap of her growing family, alongside numbered balloons.
The photo showed Jessica and Don stood together on one side, with their kids Liam, eight, Kai, six, Kingston, four, Evangeline, three, Desmond one, and Clementine, nine months lined up against a wall.
Each child had a numbered balloon above them, starting with Liam having number one, and Clementine having number six.

Jessica was then on the end holding a number seven balloon to represent their new arrival.
Isn’t this just the cutest?!
In her post, Jessica said:
‘Surprise!! Our hands, hearts, home, and vehicle are going to be a little more full next February ❤️’
She went on to say in a blog post that they'd had a scare just two weeks before posting the announcement:
‘On the Fourth of July, I was lighting some sparklers and snakes for my kids when my worst nightmare (and actually the exact nightmare that I had when I was sleeping the night before) happened and I suddenly lost a lot of blood.
‘I immediately “knew” that I was having a miscarriage, but since I was only 8 weeks along, I knew there was nothing they could do for me at the hospital so I decided to wait until the next morning to call the doctor’s office.’
In her post, Jessica explained that after visiting the doctor and having multiple tests done, she found out that she had not miscarried and that her baby had a ‘healthy heartbeat’.
‘Every child is a blessing’
Jessica finally ended her Instagram post encouraging users to only leave positive comments on the family's news, as ‘every child is a blessing’:
‘Anyway, I know there are many people who think we are crazy (and they're probably right!) but I would kindly ask that if you don't have anything kind to say, please don't comment!
’Every child is a blessing, whether the 1st or the 7th 😬 Well, here we go ... again!’
Their seventh child is due February 2018.
Congratulations Jessica and Don!
