She’s already a marvelous mother to 2-year-old daughter Ava, and Melissa Rycroft has another bundle of joy on the way.

The 30-year-old reality television starlet and her husband Tye Strickland are expecting their second child together, with a due date sometime next spring.

Back in February, Melissa hinted that she and Tye were figuring out their family expansion strategy.

Rycroft noted, "We're getting close now [to having another child]. When we ask Ava [she still says no]. Is she ever going to give us a yes? She's so spoiled. She doesn't want to share it."
