Well here's some news that's fit to squeal over.

Beyoncé and Jay Z are expecting twins—as in two babies at once—and the collective joy with which the announcement was received says it all as to both how much the pop diva is revered and how much a little good news goes a long way these days.

We're going to guess that the timing of Bey's soon-to-be analyzed, imitated and parodied pregnancy reveal on Instagram was strategically timed and, as it turns out, laden with personal meaning.

Feb. 1, 2017, may seem like an otherwise innocuous day, but when you do the math—2+1+2+0+1+7=13 and 1+3=4—it makes perfect sense.

"'4' has been my favorite number since I was a kid," Beyoncé revealed in her "Year of 4" feature. "It's the number of my birthday, September 4th, my mother's birthday, January 4th, my husband's birthday, December 4th, it's the anniversary of my wedding [April 4]."

So while she didn't care to wait till Feb. 4, isn't this Jedi mind math so much better?

But as her picture so definitively illustrates, there was only so much more time to go before people were going to catch on and not take silence for an answer.

Long story short, what all this really amounts to is a heartfelt congratulation to Beyoncé, Jay Z and Blue Ivy as they embark on this new chapter of their lives together. By the end of 2017, the Carter family will be the phenomenal five.
