Glory Johnson has not one, but two blessings on her hands.

The basketball player announced via Instagram that she's nine weeks pregnant with twins.

"It's not a surprise for me because this is what we planned for with the IVF Cycle, though hearing their heats beat for [the first] time was the most astonishing thing I have ever heard in my entire life."

The professional athlete continued, "For 15yrs Double-Doubles came with hard work and dedication…now I've been blessed by God to have "double doubles" for the rest of my life! Behold, children are a heritage from the Lord, the fruit of the womb a reward. Psalms 127:3."

Johnson then hashtagged several phrases including, "I am blessed to have them with me" and "life is about to get interesting." You can say that again!

It's been a whirlwind past few weeks for Johnson, who has seen her personal life play out via social media like something straight out of a soap opera.

On June 4, Johnson and her wife Brittney Griner announced that they were expecting their first child together roughly one month after the pair tied the knot at the Pointe Hilton Tapatio Cliffs Resort in Phoenix.

Two weeks prior to swapping vows in front of close family and friends, the two were arrested after getting in a domestic dispute and subsequently suspended by the WNBA.

Shockingly, one day after they went public with the baby news, Griner revealed that she had filed papers seeking to annul her 29-day marriage to Johnson.

"Last Wednesday, Glory and I agreed to either legally separate, get divorced, or annul our marriage," Griner said in a statement Friday (via ESPN).

"I can confirm that today I filed for an annulment. In the week prior to the wedding, I attempted to postpone the wedding several times until I completed counseling, but I still went through with it. I now realize that was a mistake."

Since, both parties have spoken out about how they plan to raise their children in the future.
