Dale and Sophie in the family way

IT’S official, Geelong’s star Blockheads Sophie and Dale Vine and going to be parents.

The couple have posted their happy news to Facebook — Sophie is expecting in December — and drawn tens of thousands of congratulatory messages.

They even posted an ultrasound image of their bundle of joy giving the thumbs-up  after they asked if they could tell the world.

They’ve kept their secret for 20 weeks, an extraordinary job for people with such a high-profile media presence.

“When we asked our ‘baby to be’ if it was cool to tell everyone at the 20 week scan, he/she gave us the big thumbs up!” the ecstatic couple said.

“Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeew baby coming in December!”
