"I'm pregnant!" she tearfully told Matt Lauer and Savannah Guthrie. "We're so excited and obviously nervous about it. I'm a first-time mom. But it's something that I've always wanted. I'm a teacher and I love kids."

"It's a springtime baby," Hager joined his wife on the TODAY set to give his pregnant wife a bouquet of flowers.

President Bush and former First Lady joined the chat via phone.  "I'm thrilled!" Laura Bush cooed. "I'm fired up!" added Dubya.

The 31-year-old TODAY correspondent married Hager, 34, a principal at investment firm KKR, on her parents' 1,600-acre Texas ranch back in 2008. (The couple first met while campaigning for Jenna's dad back in 2004.) Recently, Texas native Jenna was named an Editor-at-Large at Southern Living magazine.

It's no surprise that Dubya and Laura are pleased with their daughter's happy news; in 2010, America's 43rd president admitted to AARP The Magazine that he and his wife want grandchildren — badly. (Jenna's twin sister Barbara isn't yet married.)

"I'm a little disappointed it hasn't happened yet," President Bush, 66, shared. "But the more disappointment I show, the less likely it is things are going to happen on the time table I want."
