Yeah, yeah, we know it's a blessed and happy moment and is not at all about this, but…suck it, Jason Mesnick. Melissa Rycroft wins. Again.

The once-scorned, now blissfully wedded Bachelor babe announced this morning (like any good self-publicizing reality alum, on several platforms) that she is expecting her first child with insurance agent hubby Tye Strickland.

"Apparently Tye and I wanted to see how many life-changing events we could fit into one calendar year. From getting engaged, married, new job, and we are now pregnant," the sometime Good Morning America correspondent told (naturally) GMA.

The couple is keeping mum on most specifics of the little one, but with a February due date, the 27-year-old is clearly not that far along.

When asked if she was baby bumpin' yet, Rycroft said her growing belly was "more like a baby pooch right now, the baby bump will come later." Congrats!
