Britain isn't the only country with a high-profile baby on the way. Jenna Bush Hager, daughter of former president George W. Bush, announced Wednesday that she's expecting a springtime baby.

The 31-year-old Bush Hager, who is a teacher and a contributing correspondent for the "Today" show, announced the news on the program. She was accompanied by husband Henry Hager, whom she married in 2008.

During a live phone call on the show, former President Bush said he was "fired up" about the baby news.

It will be the first grandchild for him and Laura Bush.
