Pregnant Model Jessica Hart Reveals the Sex of Her First Child on the Way: 'So Beyond Excited'

It'll be a girl for Jessica Hart!

The pregnant model, 34, has revealed the sex of her first child on the way exclusively to PEOPLE, sharing a video of the moment she and boyfriend James Kirkham learned they are expecting a daughter to join the race-car driver's 6½-year-old daughter Wren.

Channeling the dad-to-be's high-adrenaline career, Hart and Kirkham had a loved one take the envelope containing the baby's sex and fill a car's exhaust pipe with the corresponding colored powder (pink for a girl or blue for a boy).

The couple couldn't contain their excitement as a pink cloud rose around them, cheering and celebrating with those gathered for the occasion and sharing a big hug.

"We're so beyond excited," Hart tells PEOPLE. "I really thought it was going to be a boy! I don't know why. I just saw myself as a mom of boys. You just never know. I couldn't imagine it any other way now!"
