The blessings keep coming.

On Sunday, Real Housewives Of Potomac star Monique Samuels announced that she’s expecting baby number three with her husband, former NFL star Chris Samuels. 

In a playful boomerang, the 34-year-old showed off her growing baby bump with the caption, “I’m way too happy to be bothered…I’m full of life…LITERALLY.”

Earlier this year, the star revealed that she suffered a miscarriage soon after the couple moved into their Potomac home on the hit Bravo reality series. 

“A little over a month ago, we had a miscarriage,” she said in an episode that aired in April. “To be honest, I don’t think we fully dealt with it. We have been nonstop.”

“As soon as I took the pregnancy test, Chris was grinning from ear to ear. And it never once dawned on me that we would lose it,” Samuels added. “Until you’ve experienced loss, it’s hard to even put it into words, you know?”

Congrats to the soon-to-be family of five!
