Things are coming up roses for Blake Lively these days. She has just recently launched her own entrepreneurial venture in the form of lifestyle website, and now she has another baby on the way! Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds have recently announced that they are expecting a baby! The announcement came by way of a photograph in the Gossip Girl star's website Preserve, and it showed the actress in a black and white print dress holding her pregnant belly!

The actress also posted more photos of her gorgeous self and a small baby bump on the Preserve website. The photos were taken during a recent party she threw in honor of other female friends who were also expecting. The caption to the photos reads:

"With a new baby on the way there is so much to do! But before experiencing the joy of 3am screams, seemingly impossible amounts of poop and having a favorite shirt covered in reflux... there are presents to open, onesies to dye, there is cake to serve, advice to be shared and all around celebration to be had. And that we did..."

It will be recalled that in a recent Marie Claire magazine feature, the actress revealed that she really wants to have kids, and if she had her way the Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds brood would have 30 children! "I gotta get started. If I could spit out a litter of kids, I would," she said.

Now it looks like the 27 year old actress has made true on her word. This will be the first child of Blake Lively and Ryan Reynold, who first met on the set of the superhero movie, The Green Lantern. The relationship of the two have been going strong.

In the same interview with Marie Claire, Lively talks mushily about Reynolds. "We've never gone a week without seeing each other. There's no major decision that I make without him," she shares. "The best part is when we turn off our phones and just talk and hang out. He's my best, best friend."
