\"Now comes the fun part -- spending this special time with our little guy,\" she gushed, closing out the announcement with a sparkle and baby bottle emoji.

Kondo shares two daughters -- Satsuki and Miko -- with her husband.

The bestselling author previously discussed strategies on how to keep her house tidy with small kids running around, admitting in her KonMari blog, \"When I first became a mother, I felt frustrated when I couldn’t tidy my home exactly the way I wanted. Then, after having my second child, I didn’t even have the energy to consider some of my former practices around the house!\"

While she credits motherhood for teaching her \"to be more forgiving of myself\" and helping her develop new strategies to inspire her little ones to help pick up their messes, Kondo said she sometimes will “wait until my daughters go to sleep then clean up in one shot.\"
