Just after announcing that she and quarterback hubby Tim Hasselbeck are expecting their second child, The View co-host Elisabeth Hasselbeck spoke to Usmagazine.com about getting chubby, baby-naming, and juggling her pregnancy and time with her toddler.

Elisabeth Hasselbeck, 29, threw her View co-hosts for a loop this morning when she announced on-air that she was three months pregnant. After last Wednesday's news that Hasselbeck's regular debate opponent Rosie O'Donnell,45, would not return next season, the all-female panel show suddenly finds itself down two personalities. Such issues aren't plaguing Elisabeth, though, who is "excited to finally let people know".

The mother of two-year-old Grace had an interesting way of filling in Daddy Tim, 29. "I actually had Grace tell him. He came home and she said, 'I'm going to be a big sister!' He did a double take, but of course he was excited."

Another thing to keep the happy couple excited in the next six months? They don't plan to learn the baby's sex. "I'm a control freak in every other aspect of my life but for me there are a few things that I want no knowledge of. Things about the future. And honestly, the anticipation of finding out, gets me through the pregnancy!" The boy or girl intrigue shouldn't provide a setback for future big sis Grace, who " just wants to make sure it is named Sebastian".

Between now and her due date in early November, Elisabeth is looking forward to eating and living right. She runs four miles three times a week, and is learning to let go of her competitive nature out on the track. "I really like being pregnant because I feel like I let go of a lot of my hangups. You definitely see yourself in a better light."

Still, she can't resist thinking she "should get a t-shirt that says "You're not faster than me. I'm just pregnant."
