It’s been a week of fever pitch speculation…

And now Coleen Rooney has confirmed she’s expecting her first child.

Writing in her OK! column, the mum-to-be declared: “It’s true – I’m pregnant.”

“It’s the most brilliant news and, along with marrying Wayne, the best thing that’s ever happened to me.”

“Wayne is over the moon and so excited and I just know he’ll be a great dad.”

The 23-year-old, who married Man U star Wayne in a luxurious Italian ceremony last year, said having a baby “is something we both wanted, and we feel incredibly lucky and happy”.

Col also revealed her tot is due in October, and says she expects to continue working throughout the run-up to giving birth.

“We have no idea whether our baby will be a boy or a girl,” she concluded.

Needless to say, we’re dizzy with excitement.

Will the happy couple name their bubba Wayleen, as bookies are already suggesting?

Have they already started designing the nursery?

What type of sizzling Wag maternity gear will Col wear, and will she go to a posh hospital for the birth?

So many questions, so little time…

A woman goes to her doctor who verifies that she is pregnant. This is her first pregnancy. The doctor asks her if she has any questions. She replies, “Well, I’m a little worried about the pain. How much will childbirth hurt?”

The doctor answered, “Well, that varies from woman to woman and pregnancy to pregnancy and besides, it’s difficult to describe pain.”

“I know, but can’t you give me some idea?” she asks.

“Grab your upper lip and pull it out a little…”

“Like this?”

“A little more…”

“Like this?”

“No. A little more…”

“Like this?”

“Yes. Does that hurt?”

“A little bit.”

“Now stretch it over your head!”

Showing off her chic mommy style and growing baby bump, Nicole Richie  was spotted at the What Comes Around Goes Around Fall 2009 Collection Launch at Space 15 Twenty in Los Angeles last night (March 18).

Traveling sans baby or babydaddy, the preggers “Simple Life” starlet looked hot in a yellow hippie-style blouse overtop a cream colored shirt with dark wash jeans.
