Awww, how borderline creepy cute! It's baby's first social media network!

Lance Armstrong is expecting baby No. 5, and announced it in a most unusual way.

"Getting ?'s today about someone I'm following, a certain @Cincoarmstrong," he tweeted yesterday. "What to say? Yet another blessing in our lives. I cannot wait!"

Don't get us wrong, there's nothing unusual about tweeting confirmation of your impending arrival. But tweeting confirmation as your impending arrival?

That's got to be a first…

"I got 2 arms, 2 legs, a nickname, and i'm 2 inches long," CincoArmstrong "writes" on its Twitter page, launched last week. "See y'all in October.."

A few days later, little Cinco, who according to its bio will be named either Jack or Olivia come this fall, was back online.

"I'm now the size of a lemon, 3.5 inches long, and weigh 1.5 ounces. And oh yeah, I'm on Twitter."

Someone get us the name of that service provider—that's some powerful connection!

The cyclist turned professional babymaker later confirmed the news to his local Austin American Statesman this week. It will be his second child with partner Anna Hansen, joining son Max, who was born last summer.

He also has three kids, son Luke and daughters Grace and Bella, with his ex-wife.
