Marina and Kevin Krim, whose nanny allegedly murdered two of their three children last October, are expecting a son in the fall, they announced on their Facebook page Thursday.

"Nessie can't wait to welcome her baby brother," the couple write. "We are filled with many emotions as we look to the future, but the most important one is hope. We are very grateful to you all for your amazing support."

Their Facebook page, which bears the name of their children and the Lulu and Leo Fund, created in the wake of their deaths, was instantly flooded with hundreds of comments and thousands of "likes."

Yoselyn Ortega, the nanny charged with first-degree murder for allegedly killing the two young children she cared for, faced a Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Tuesday morning – and entered a plea of not guilty.

Still in the New York-Presbyterian/Weill Cornell Medical Center bed a month after police said she fatally stabbed Lucia, 6, and Leo Krim, 2, before she turned the knife on herself, Ortega had her plea entered on her behalf by her public-assistance lawyer, Valerie Van Leer-Greenberg.

"My client is profoundly mentally impaired and in need of medical attention," the attorney said, reports the New York Post. The paper also says that during the 10-minute legal proceeding in the hospital Ortega, 50, appeared alert though remained silent and under a blanket.
