No baby yet! On Monday, the 29-year-old expectant mum almost seemed frustrated as she revealed on Twitter that her baby was 'too comfy'

Wayne and Coleen - who have been together since they were 16, and married since 2008 - revealed their baby news back in July with simultaneous posts on their respective Twitter pages.

The glowing mum took to her Twitter account in the height of summer to share the news of her pregnancy with her 1.2million followers.

'Baby number 3 is on the way ...... January!! We are so happy and excited,' she revealed.

And Wayne, who has been with the beauty for 13 years, also wrote on his page: 'Delighted that me and @ColeenRoo have our 3rd child on the way.'

They are already proud parents to six-year-old Kai and Klay, two, but Coleen is hoping to have a girl the third time around.  

Speaking shortly after giving birth to Klay in 2013, she told Hello! Magazine: 'I'd probably like another one - not too soon though.

'I think a girl would complete the family but because the boys get on so well, another boy would be just as nice.'

However, she and her Manchester United player spouse have confessed they'd be holding off on learning of their new tot's gender before the birth. 

Bumping along: Throughout her third pregnancy, Coleen had always maintained that she and Wayne weren't going to find out if they were having a boy or a girl
