Melissa, congratulations on your family and thanks for sharing the news of your next arrival. I really appreciated the post when you shared that you and your husband had some mixed emotions at the shock of the news… it’s nice to hear a woman be honest about an exciting but scary life change! Thanks for keeping us posted and best wishes!!

I wonder if she’ll ever reveal the sex of the baby? I know that she and Mark promised the exclusive on the sex to some magazine in exchange for an interview or something about Mark’s band, but I’d be a little surprised if that particular issue of that magazine hasn’t come out yet.

Sarah’s note: You can look in the comments here for an explanation on that.

aw… melissa– which i always have to mention, is a great name and my almost-2-yr-old’s name as well– is such a lovely pregnant woman, she’s glowing and gorgeous. she gets quite a belly toward the end, just like me, lol… i’ve always thought of her as one of the most down-to-earth, girl-next-door types, of young actresses. she just sort of gives off that vibe… i’ve loved her ever since i was a child myself, watching Clarissa Explains it All.
all my best wishes to the Wilkerson family!!!

I was thinking the same thing. She’s adorable. And completely normal. Gained weight normally, has normal maternity clothes on, plays with her son like a normal mom. It’s great to identify with a celebrity like her. I wish Melissa, her hubby and little Mason all the best with their newest family member. I’m so anxious to hear whether it’s a boy or girl! Not that it matters, but it’s kind of cool that the public doesn’t know.

I think she is having anther boy

I agree Brannon. I also like that she seems like a regular, down to earth mama. I’ve really liked reading her diary entries. When’s the next one?

Sarah’s note: Hopefully it will be up next week. Melissa is trying to get some pictures uploaded to send us first.

IMO – she is one of the only pregnant “celebrities” who actually looks like a normal pregnant woman! Sometimes when I see pics of other famous women I feel myself thinking “no fair!” They always look glamorous and made up – all belly (like they simply put a pillow up their tiny shirts!)
