PHOENIX — Congratulations are in order.

U.S. soccer start Julie Johnston Ertz announced that she is expecting a baby with her husband, Arizona Cardinals tight end Zach Ertz.

Ertz announced the pregnancy on Twitter Monday along with two photos of the couple.

"Adding to our starting lineup," she wrote on Twitter. "Baby Ertz!"

This is the first child for the couple. And by looking at the photos from the tweet, the family is ready to welcome their new addition.
