"Punky Brewster" star Soleil Moon Frye has revealed that she is expecting a baby boy.
The 37-year-old actress made the revelation during an appearance on "The View." While she was being interviewed by co-host Jenny McCarthy, Frye opened a package and revealed two blue shoes inside.
"I'm in a little bit of denial," Frye said according to E Online. "I can't imagine a penis growing inside of me, so I keep saying, 'I think we know, but I'm not sure."
Frye is married with producer Jason Goldberg and is the mother of two girls - five-year-old Jagger Joseph Blue and eight-year-old Poet Sienna Rose. She noted that she never expected her third child to be a boy.
"I was so shocked because I always thought that if you have two of one sex, the statistics are that you'll have a third of the same sex," Frye added. "So I just thought we'd have three girls. My girls still don't completely believe it."
The child is due in February 2014.
Numerous fans responded to the news via Twitter.
