Elisabeth Hasselbeck is expecting her third child, she announced Thursday morning on The View. The new baby is due in August and was a pleasant surprise for Elisabeth and her husband Tim.

“We were thoroughly happy with the surprise of it. I didn’t even know for two months. I was walking around. I thought I had electionitis. I was tired, I was nauseous, I thought I was worn out from the whole procedure. No, I was knocked up and didn’t realize it!”

The 31-year-old is already mom to 3 ½-year-old daughter Grace Elisabeth, and son Taylor Thomas, 14 months.

- Sherri on January 29th, 2009

I had a feeling! The last few weeks she seemed to be wearing less form fitting outfits. Congrats to her.

- Poetstar on January 29th, 2009

That’s nice. Congrats to Tim & Elisabeth!

- Colleen on January 29th, 2009

Poetstar I actually googled her yesterday cause I thought she was pregnant and I just missed the announcement. Congrats to her and her whole family.

- SAM on January 29th, 2009

Oh, wow! I didn’t see this one coming. Exciting!!!!

- bungalowbliss on January 29th, 2009

I sent CBB a post 2 weeks ago saying to keep elisabeth on baby watch, I just knew she was pregnant. She started dressing different, and just looked different to me. I think she will have another girl. Wow in 4 yrs, she had 3 kids. It seems like she is always pregnant lol. I always pictured her with 3-4 kids though.

- gianna on January 29th, 2009

I figured that I yesterday. I was watching the show and I thought to myself “Boy, she looks preggers”. lol

- Leslie on January 29th, 2009

YAY!!! I love her!!!She makes me not be ashamed of being republican…LMAO

- Courtney on January 29th, 2009

Congrats to you and your husband!!!!

- Nicole on January 29th, 2009

Congrats! What great news, i was just wondering the day if she would have another one.

- Melissa on January 29th, 2009

For the first time ever I watched the view last week, as I was sick and the house was empty.
I took one look at her and thought to myself, “she’s pregnant again.” How funny I was right. She’s going to be my pregnancy buddy too.
Despite the fact that I disagree with her politically, I’ve always felt an affinity for her. I find her very relatable – which is why she is successful on TV I’m sure.

- Mrs. R. on January 29th, 2009

Yesterday, she was wearing a blue loose top that I thought looked maternity like. Today when she came out, I said that she definitely looked pregnant in her red dress. I know she had trouble conceiving the first two, so I am thrilled for her that this time worked so easily. Congrats to the whole family.

- Beverley on January 29th, 2009

I am so excited for her. I wish I had the courage to have a third child but I think 2 is it for me. She is so beautiful and strong. I love watching her stand up to the others on the View. I am rooting for her!

- Kim on January 29th, 2009

Courtney – never be ashamed to be a Republican! LOL.

Congrats to Elisabeth and family! I’m sure the new baby will be super cute.

- Anna on January 29th, 2009

Aww! Congrats to them both! Elisabeth is one of my favourite TV personalities! I can’t wait to see if it’s a boy or girl and what they name it!!!

- Brooklyn on January 29th, 2009

Congrats to her and her fam. I finaly have a ‘pregnancy buddy’!

- morgan on January 29th, 2009

WOW I didn’t see that one coming!
How great! It took them so long get pregnant with Taylor.
My 3rd was a surprise – we call her our bonus baby!!!

- Christine on January 29th, 2009

Wow! That was totally unexpected (though I haven’t seen “The View” in forever!). Congrats to Tim and Elisabeth!

- Jess from Ohio on January 29th, 2009

Congratulations to Elisabeth and Tim!

- Jennifer on January 29th, 2009

I know this is just my strange sense of humor, but I think it’s so amusing when people use the term “knocked up” when they’re married.

- Michelle on January 29th, 2009

What a wonderful surprise for Elizabeth and her wonderful family. Hope it all goes well.

- Something About Baby on January 29th, 2009

I knew it! She just had that early pregnancy look about her. Congrats to them. I’m a mom of a sooner-than-planned third myself! Atta girl, Elisabeth.

- Heather on January 29th, 2009

Gosh, what fabulous news I think she’ll have another little girlie. My third was a total surprise too, three little girls for me though!

Gracie

- Grace on January 29th, 2009

I am a 3rd child and i was a nice surprise to my parents!

- Olivia on January 29th, 2009

Olivia, my third was a surprise to me and my husband and she’s named Olivia too!

Gracie

- Grace on January 29th, 2009

Congrats to Elisabeth!

While I don’t agree with many of her views, I find her entertaining to watch and she seems like a great mom.

Can’t wait to see what they name this one!

- ashleigh on January 29th, 2009

Weird! Last month, I was watching the View and was wondering if/when she was going to have another. Congratulations Elisabeth and Tim!

- Lacey on January 29th, 2009

Congratulations to Tim, Elisabeth, Grace, and Taylor on their upcoming addition … with all this twin baby boom going on in Hollywood, I wouldn’t be surprised if Elisabeth welcomed twins! Just a thought …

- Katharynne on January 29th, 2009

I just love logging on and before the entire page loads you can see “a BIG announcement” that is featured so I was SO surprised to see Elisabeth featured! While I am not anywhere near similar to her politically and frankly I cannot stand some of the arguments on the view, I am joyous for their family. What a wonderful blessing especially after she had trouble conceiving her 2nd. Blessings!!

- Shelby on January 29th, 2009

I’m not an avid watcher of the view. What procedure was she talking about??

- Heather on January 29th, 2009

Congrats to Elizabeth… I too am having a surprise third baby lol.. Also due in August. I feel so blessed to be able to welcome my third child to the world and have even decided on a delivery surprise this time around to keep it different

- sarah on January 29th, 2009

With all do respect, she “had no idea.” Sorry, I don’t buy it – just look at the size of her chest in recent photos.

- j on January 29th, 2009

Congrats to Elisabeth and Tim!!! I’m very excited for them!!!!

She was my celeb pregnant buddy when she was pregnant with Grace (my DS is 3 1/2 also) and Taylor (my 2nd DS is 18 months). Now, she is my celeb pregnant buddy again (I’m due in May with my 3rd DS).

- jashmom on January 29th, 2009

Wow what a surprise! I’m having my baby in the same month.

Congrats to Elisabeth, Tim, Grace, and Taylor!!

I have a feeling that they’re having a little boy. I wonder what name they’ll pick out next, since both Grace and Taylor are named after her and Tim.

- Rachel on January 29th, 2009

Although she is not one of my favorite people, it’s always great to hear baby news. Congrats to her and her fam!

- erin h on January 29th, 2009

I adore her and am so happy for the whole family! Congrats Elisabeth!!

- Emaline on January 29th, 2009

WOW what a suprise i was never expecting to hear this!!!(: Congrats!!!! i’m sooo exited for them!

- Sara on January 29th, 2009

Congrats! I didn’t expect this one!

- Mimi on January 29th, 2009

Heather – I think she was referring to “electionitis” which I assume is her term for all the election season hoopla. Like the whole procedure of getting through the presidential election season.

- Lola on January 29th, 2009

It’s happy news but it always strikes me as odd when people say they have no idea they are pregnant. If you are doing the deed, it’s possible- period- what is so shocking. My daughter wasn’t planned but she wasn’t a surprise- we all know how babies are made.

- jackie on January 29th, 2009

How exciting! It is always special to see posts about Elisabeth on here–I started reading CBB because it was the only place I could find updates on Elisabeth’s 1st pregnancy! Hard to believe it’s been so long since Grace was born!

- Emily on January 29th, 2009

Oh God, is he already 14 months old!!! How time flies! It feels like it was yesterday he was born.

I didn’t think there would be an anounce of another pregnancy for Elisabeth that soon, but it’s really great news. Congrats to Elisabeth, Tim, Grace and Taylor!

- Stéph on January 29th, 2009

Elisabeth (aka Bessy…. I still remember that from Survivor lol)!! Congratulations!! So excited for you and your beautiful fam!

Eventhough people give you a hard time, be proud that you always stand your ground, stand up for beliefs, treat people with respect, and don’t let people put you down. If I were you, I’d break down crying sometime…. you can take the heat though, girl.

Looking forward to hearing this baby name!!

Wonder if she’ll take up her Dreft blog again?

- Krysta on January 29th, 2009

jackie- Elisabeth and her husband had trouble concieving the first two, so I’m guessing they didn’t count on being able to concieve a third so easily, hence not realizing she was pregnant.

j- It’s possible that she just thought her chest enlargment was PMS related or something. PMS bloat isn’t always confined to the stomach, you know!

- CelebBabyLover on January 30th, 2009

I love the View but Elizabeth H is not one of my favorite TV personalities, in fact, politically we couldn’t be more different. However, I have always felt her to be a kindred spirit because I too had trouble conceiving my children. I have always been rooting for her in that regard. I am very happy for her, esp since she struggled so much in the past. It is such a blessing- I only hope I will be as lucky when I start trying for #3. Congrats to to Elizabeth and her family.

- Gretchen on January 30th, 2009

I like when an unexpected arrival is called a surprise instead of an accident. All children are blessings!! Congrats to the whole family. I am also a mother to 3 small children and it’s the best thing I’ve ever done!!

- Carrie on January 30th, 2009

Congrats to them, but I don’t get all the comments about her having a hard time getting pregnant. I was in the view audience once, and elisabeth said it took her 9 months to get pregnant with taylor. That’s not exactly what I would call a difficult time, especially when I know people that it took them years to be able to have a child and had to take fertility drugs and everything, something elisabeth hasn’t had to do. She has been married only 6yrs and her oldest child is almost 4, 2nd baby 14 months, and now a 3rd child due less than 2yrs after her 2nd baby. That’s not exactly an unfertile woman, quite the opposite if you ask me. I also don’t think the baby was a surprise she has said plenty of times if you watch the view, that she wanted a big family and kids close together.

- Luciana on January 30th, 2009

Luciana- I remember reading that it DID take her and her husband quite awhile to concieve Grace (i.e. a couple of years). With Taylor, I think she DID say something about how they were surprised it only took nine months to concieve him given the struggles they had concieving Grace.

Anyway, I’m guessing that it was sort of a, “Well, we won’t push our luck, but if we DO concieve a third baby, great!”

- CelebBabyLover on January 31st, 2009

I knew it!! She had that look!

- Steph on February 1st, 2009

i’m not a fan of hers personally but She is so flippin’ gorgeous and congrats to her.

- Natalie S. on February 2nd, 2009

How exciting!!! Now it’s not so daunting to have 3-4 kids!!!
