Today weekend anchor Jenna Wolfe announced on Wednesday that she and NBC news correspondent Stephanie Gosk are expecting a baby girl in August.

According to a blog post on the Today website, Wolfe, 39 said she and Gosk, 40 who came out as a lesbian couple the same day, had decided to have a child together after a two-year relationship.

"Of all the jaw-dropping, head-turning and eye-popping things I've ever told my friends and family ('I've swam with killer sharks,' 'I jet-packed 30-feet out of the water,' 'I scaled the tallest building in Canada'), nothing garnered more shock and awe, (and yes some tears) than when I told people I was pregnant. Just writing those words- 'I'm pregnant'- is surreal to me," she wrote in her blog, according to Today.

In a People magazine story, which came out on Friday, Wolfe discussed why the couple decided to share news of their pregnancy and relationship.

"I don't want to bring my daughter into a world where I'm not comfortable telling everyone who I am and who her mother is," she said.

Wolfe added that she's going to be blogging about her experiences. "I know I'm not the first person to have a baby, but I'm having a baby for the first time ... This is a journey that I'm very excited to take," she said.

Wolfe told People that she and Gosk plan to wed in the future.
