Is another nursery their next “Fixer Upper?”

HGTV darlings Joanna and Chip Gaines showed off the latest addition to their family, baby Crew born in June, Tuesday on “Today.”

“He is a gift,” gushed Joanna, author of “Homebody: A Guide to Creating Spaces You Never Want to Leave” (out today). “We were talking the other day, just saying how he’s (slowed) down time for us.”

The family announced they were backing away from their renovation reality show in September 2017, and revealed they were expecting in January. Joanna, 40, told People magazine the news she was pregnant left her with her “jaw dropped.”

When the topic of adding to their brood came up Tuesday, Joanna acknowledged Chip wants a sister for their youngest, an option that still seems to be on the (reclaimed wood) table. “I love the process of being pregnant,” she told “Today” anchors Savannah Guthrie and Hoda Kotb. “I love giving birth.”

“It’s the sweetest,” she added of the experience.

And the “Fixer Upper: Behind the Design” star says her four older kids – Drake, Ella Rose, Emmie Kay, and Duke – have made raising their little bro easier on the parents by helping out.

“They are obsessed with him,” Joanna shared. “It really is one of those things where I have to fight to hold him.” 

“That’s why, really, the idea – not that we’re having more,” she continued, “but the idea, it’s just so easy. When you have a gap from 8 to this, newborn, it’s easy.”

Joanna also sang the praises of her husband of 15 years and his sense of humor. 

“I’m such a serious person by nature, so he’s a gift to me.”
