Well, no one can say that Jared Padalecki didn't give everyone a heads up that a news bulletin was coming.
And it didn't take long.
Oh, and guess who that is in the thick white sweater? That's the infamous Hollywood publicist, Suzanne "Chico" Gomez. You'd never know she wields a powerful whack of a teachers' ruler, would you? [personal editorial]
So the announcement comes on Live! With Kelly, on the Monday following a weekend when a tweeter posted a pic of Jared and the beard outside after (or before? not sure) seeing the musical Hamilton.
Of course, the tweeter mentioned how she was too shy to request a picture. But, make no mistake, this was the prelude to today's announcement. This picture placed the beard in New York City (where Kelly! Live is filmed) and near the New Jersey Supernatural con where Jared was this past weekend. The picture also, now that you look back, provided the hint of the "pregnant state". Hat anons in the fandom already had their antennae perking up. And now the tweet and picture are gone from Twitter, although it is still available on Tumblr. Amazing, isn't it? Its mission was accomplished.
So, Jensen will have three children all together come December and Jared will have three in March (supposedly this is when the Padalecki youngin' is due). With Six You Get Eggroll.
And even though the Pumpkin Conveyor Belt Caper was a Wangchols stunt, there is no denying there were 7 pumpkins on that conveyor belt. One has to wonder if the Padackles don't have their eye on the GyllenNichols finish line of a Munchkin 5K. Just sayin'! lol.
And now we know why these two men keep the show Supernatural going. Large families need funding. Just ask Jake and Austin.

Fortunately for most of the remaining Baby Tiles, the dates of their birthdays remain an unsolved mystery. Otherwise, the celebratory dinner table would always be missing a body at one of the head chairs wouldn't it? (At least on the date imprinted on the birth certificate.)
With no surprise, October 17th arrived and both parental units provided their expected GPS distractions to try and dispel any possible public ideas of Marvel birthday cakes and Star Wars paper-wrapped gifts.
There was Austin Nichols waving the I'm-in-Los-Angeles flags with beard Chloe Bennet:
And then yesterday, Papa Jake did his thing:
First there was an appearance at the Headstrong Gala which was held at Pier 60, Chelsea Piers, NYC at 7:30 pm ET.
Then, Jake sped his way to the St James Theater in NYC for the Hilary Clinton "Stronger Together" fundraiser which started at 8:30pm ET.
where he arrived for the Broadway themed event,
and somewhere along the way did the ol' wardrobe chang-eroo
Now, before one can click their tongue along with a Jessica Fletcher shake of the head, it is remembered that Jake has appeared several times before with Zach Iscol, Seth Meyers and the Headstrong Project dating back to May 2013 and October 1 2014. It is an important cause and one that Jake appears to have been touched by.
While Jake's Twitter search was flooded with pictures, quotes, videos and squeals over him paired with Jon Hamm, our M&M has made note of an interesting logistical moment she realized herself.
Only 2.1 miles and a 1 hour start time separated Jake's Headstrong and Stronger Together public appearances.
And what about the Great Pumpkin Conveyor Belt Caper by Austin and the beard? Well, let's just say the actual spoon fed location of both video participants is about as believable as the existence of the Great Pumpkin.
No, wait a minute. I think Linus and Snoopy might have one over on the Conveyor Belt Caper. *wink*
While the seventeenth day of October banged and clanged all over the internet, it was actually October 15th and 16th that interestingly enough made even more noise with how quiet both Austin and Jake were during the weekend. Seems likely that's when the real celebration took place in a quid pro quo deal with Management. And as is Jake's style, subtlety is not included in his list of "See? I'm not a father" best practices as he made not one public appearance last night, but two. And the beard's technique of uploading grainy, three-second videos with mumbled voice overs remains just that -- grainy, brief, mumbled and... hardly persuasive.
