The album also included a video where their guests could be heard counting down in Dutch until Laurens sprayed the smoke around.
When the big moment arrived and Laurens made the reveal, the guests cheered wildly and Romee melted into laughter.
‘We can’t wait to meet our little girl,’ captioned the Victoria’s Secret Angel, adding a heart emoji for good measure.
Romee also used her Insta Stories to let her fans in on the festivities, although first she polled them on what they thought the result would be.

Romee, whose father-in-law Bert Van Leeuwen is a famous TV presenter in their native Netherlands, married Laurens in 2018.
She announced on Instagram last month that she is expecting a baby after undergoing a battle with polycystic ovarian syndrome, a.k.a. PCOS.

Romee wrote that ‘2 years ago I got diagnosed with PCOS after not getting my period for 7 years. I was devastated because being a mom and starting a family with @laurensvleeuwen is my biggest dream..’
She added: ‘I was so scared that I would never be able to because I got told it was harder to get babies in a natural way.. I started to research PCOS and came to the conclusion that mine was not the typical pcos..’
The model revealed: ‘Mine was because of my body being in fight or flight mode.. which means my body was under constant stress. I never felt mentally super stressed so it was hard te understand this, but my life consisted of travelling all the time (no biorhythm), working out every day, eating super clean (restricting foods).’

She continued: ‘I think I pressured my body to much, and honestly every body is so different but I think my weight was not good for my body to function properly and couldn’t handle the constant traveling.’
Romee wrote: ‘This was the point where I started to research natural healing for PCOS and came to the conclusion that I should do way less high intensity training, don’t restrict foods, be nice to myself, and take breaks when needed.’
The Zoetermeer native specified: ‘I also tried some natural supplements, acupuncture and we got a place back in the Netherlands as well, so we could spend more time with Family (since im such a family person).’
Romee concluded: ‘I’m so happy and grateful to say that I got my period back last november AND that WE’RE SOON A FAMILY OF THREE & to the women trying to conceive, believe in yourself and be nice for yourself and your body and don’t let those thoughts get to you to much.’
