But it's not just Joanna and her fixer-upper husband Chip Gaines who are excited about the arrival of baby number five. Their children are ecstatic as well.

"The best thing about all of this is the excitement that my kids have shown for their new baby brother. Since I had our first four babies so close to one another, none of them actually remember me being pregnant."
