There must have been a lot of twinkles in celebrities eyes over the last few months as this week we are delighted to hear of not one, not two, not three but four pregnancy announcements!

Winning the prize for the most modern way to share this news is Radio One DJ Sara Cox who announced that she is expecting her third child though latest social networking phenomenon, Twitter.

News travels impossibly fast on this virtual super-highway, so let's hope she got round to telling all the family and friends first!

Meanwhile, rumours that Brazilian beauty Gisele and husband Tom Brady are expecting a baby have finally been confirmed with the coupe announcing that their baby is due in December.

Next up, Irish actor Colin Farrell confirmed at the weekend that he is to become a father for the second time. The Dubliner, who starred in black comedy In Bruges, confirmed his actress girlfriend is expecting the couple's first baby.

And finally, England footballer Joe Cole and wife Carly Zucker who were married three months ago, have announced that their 'honeymoon baby' dreams have come true and they are expecting their first baby in six months. Ms Zucker is already sporting a tiny baby bump.

With all these yummy mummys in waiting, we can look forward to plenty more bump-envy in the months ahead, and who knows, if all these parents-to-be catch on to the Twitter craze, we can expect to hear a lot more of the pitter patter of tiny tweets!
