Whoa baby!

Joey Lawrence and his wife Chandi Yawn-Nelson are expecting their second child, the actor tells PEOPLE exclusively.

Due April 3rd, the baby will be another girl, joining “very excited” big sister Charleston, 3 ½.

“I am Estrogen Man,” laughs Joey. “I’m from a family of all boys, and when I told my best friend Dave that my wife and I were having a second girl, he said, ‘Look at you, my best buddy Estrogen Man!’”

The latest addition to the Lawrence family will be named Liberty Grace, the actor shares. The first name “is something I’ve always loved,” Joey, 33, explains, while Grace is in honor of his grandmother, who passed away earlier this year.

While they’re awaiting Liberty’s arrival, Joey and wife Chandie — whom he wed in July 2005 — will be working with the Hot Moms Club to design their dream nursery. It will appear in Pregnancy magazine next year, along with a giveaway of a matching nursery. “I liked the idea of, ‘Let’s do something and let’s give something away,’” the Dancing With the Stars alum notes.

The actor will be keeping busy on the work front as well, with two projects in the pipeline this winter.

First up is a new ABC Family show Joey will also be executive producing, costarring Melissa Joan Hart. “This is my return to half-hour comedy,” the former Blossom star tells PEOPLE. “It’s about two characters forced into each other’s lives — the classic ‘I hate you, now I’m going to fall in love with you.’” With filming beginning later this month, the as-yet untitled show will air next summer.

Additionally, Joey will be traveling to Calgary in February to film My Mr. Everything, a TV movie he developed and describes as “along the lines of The Proposal.” Working with Wedding Crashers producer Andrew Panay, the actor expects the film to be ready for a holiday 2010 release on ABC Family.

“We are over the moon!” the couple said in a statement. “It’s something we’ve wanted for a long time and we are thrilled that it’s actually happening.”

Balancing motherhood with her new role on USA’s drama White Collar will be a welcome adjustment for the star, best known for her work on Saved By the Bell and the original Beverly Hills 90210.

“I’ve never done it – it’s going to be a whole new thing,” she told PEOPLE in May when talking about the idea of becoming a mom.

There’s a baby on the way for Robin Thicke and Paula Patton!

Paula, 33, is pregnant, according to a message posted on Facebook by Robin’s mother, former soap opera star Gloria Loring.

“I am going to be Nana Gloria again as my son Robin Thicke & his wife Paula are expecting their first baby!,” Gloria wrote.

This will be the first child for the high school sweethearts, who married in June 2005.

Last year, Robin, 32, said that there was “a 100 percent chance” of starting a family with his wife, “just not right now. We’re still little kids ourselves in some ways!”

Paula’s new movie, Precious, hits theaters November 6th, while Robin’s latest album, Sex Therapy, will be released December 8th.

It’s an equal-opportunity family for Mark Wahlberg, who’s expecting his fourth child with wife Rhea Durham.

“I’m having another girl,” Mark told PEOPLE at GQ’s The Gentleman’s Ball at New York’s Edison Ballroom on Wednesday. “So I’ll have two girls and two boys.”

But four is probably enough for the Boston native, 38.

“I’m the youngest of nine, and my dad has a few others. No, four is enough,” he said. “We were all raised with a lot of love. But we didn’t get the kind of attention I think that we all needed. My parents had to provide to put food on the table. My mission in life is to raise my kids right. With all the success I’ve had in the world, if I fail at that, my life means nothing.”

Still, Mark says he’ll leave family planning up to Rhea, a former model.

“My wife is allowed to pick the magic number … as many as she wants to have,” he said. “What I want to do is I want to raise my kids right. I want to give them the world, but I also want them to appreciate it.”

As it is, brother Jim Wahlberg said he suspects Mark’s clan will continue to grow. “He’s good to go! He ain’t stoppin’,” said the sibling. “He’s got beautiful kids.”

Mark and Rhea are parents to Ella Rae, 6, Michael, 3 ½, and Brendan Joseph, 13 months.

It will be another December delivery for Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Donovan McNabb and wife Roxie. The couple — married since June 2003 — are expecting their fourth child this December, having welcomed twins Sariah and Donovan Jr., 10 ½ months, last December.

In announcing Roxie’s pregnancy, it was revealed that the couple have formed a partnership with the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) at Virtua Voorhees, the hospital in southern New Jersey where each of the McNabb children were born.

Donovan and Roxie pledged a six-figure donation to assist with the construction costs of the project — which is slated to open in 2011 — and vowed to help raise an additional $2.5 million from outside donors. According to reports the completed unit will be named the McNabb Family Neonatal Intensive Care Unit.

In addition to the twins, baby-on-the-way will join big sister Alexis, 5, at home.

There’s a baby on the way for country crooner Justin Moore and wife Kate.

The couple expect a daughter — whom they plan to name Ella Cole — sometime in February. Justin tells the Associated Press that the moniker was a joint effort; Kate chose baby girl’s first name, while Cole is Justin’s middle name.

“Just found out I’m adding to my personal family. My wife and I are … really excited about that. I have a feeling that family is just going to get more and more important to me.”

Justin admits that he was hoping for a boy, having repeatedly asked during Kate’s sonogram, “Are you positive it’s a girl? Is it still a girl?” His persistent questioning even led the technician at one point to say, “Yeah, Justin, shut up, it’s a girl.” Justin adds,

“I’m not excited about killing a 14-year-old boy in a few years for looking at her, but it’ll be fun.”

The happy news caps off a momentous few months for the Arkansas native, whose song Small Town USA — from Justin’s self-titled debut album — recently sat atop the Billboard Country Singles charts.
