Melissa Rycroft: Baby On the Way!

Ready to add to the family, Melissa Rycroft has announced that she's expecting her first child!

Having tied the knot back in December, the 27-year-old "Bachelor Pad" co-host and husband Tye Strickland will be welcoming their little one in February 2011.

Talking to Us magazine, Melissa tells, "It was a shock. We weren't even trying. It's the most wonderful surprise in the world. It's such a blessing."

And while she'll happily do what needs to be done, Rycroft reveals that a family was far from thought, saying, "He wanted the kids right away, and I was laughing at him going, 'No, not ready!'"

Of her 29-year-old hubby, Melissa dishes, "He's actually cried more than I have. Tye is caring, he's funny. He's going to be a great dad."
