“Congrats are in order for cycling champ Lance Armstrong: he’s expecting his fifth child!

The 38-year-old athlete and girlfriend Anna Hansen will welcome their second child together this October.

Armstrong announced the news in a novel way: by creating a Twitter account for the unborn kid, “Cincoarmstrong.”

The baby’s first entries: “I got 2 arms, 2 legs, a nickname, and [I’m] 2 inches long. See y’all in October…I’m now the size of a lemon, 3.5 inches long, and weigh 1.5 ounces. And oh yeah, I’m on Twitter.”

Added the child’s dad via his own Twitter. “What to say? Yet another blessing in our lives. I cannot wait!”

The athlete then confirmed the news to his hometown paper, the Austin-American Statesmen. The future child’s future name could be Jack or Olivia, the paper reports.

Armstrong and Hansen welcomed son Maxwell Edward 10 months ago. The Tour de France winner and cancer survivor has three kids with ex-wife Kristin: 8-year old twin girls Isabelle and Grace and son Luke, 11.”

Yes, I suppose congratulations are in order to Lance and Anna. Anna must be freshly out of her first trimester if we’re going to see the new little one in October. And no doubt that when they make their grand entrance, those first pics will be put up as the new profile pics on Twitter.

“Perez Hilton is reporting that Lance Armstrong is going to be a daddy for the fourth time!

“Lance and Anna [Hansen] have been quietly dating since July,” a source told him. “They met through Lance’s charity work. Anna works at a non-profit for cancer survivors.”

The two are said to be “thrilled” with the baby news.

CNN has confirmed the news through Lance’s charitable organization, the Lance Armstrong Foundation. The baby is due in June.

The baby was not planned, but “they couldn’t be happier,” according to a source.”

Well congratulations to them although there is a cloud of scandal around this one, which is always unfortunate when a child is involved. It is amazing that Lance is able to father a child naturally with his history of chemotherapy and the fact that not many cancer survivors, let alone testicular cancer survivors, can have children. I’m torn when I think about Armstrong. He’s a hottie, there’s no doubt and he does have a story that is filled with such hope, and he does many good things for charity. But, there is always that question mark over his head that makes you wonder about him. How could he have possibly won 7 Tour de Frances without the help of steroids? And how could he have possibly done right by Kate Hudson when he was dating this woman either while he was still with Kate or the day after they broke up, which seems unlikely. See, I want to like him but it’s getting harder.
