Underwood took to Instagram on Monday to share the baby news with the help of the couple’s two dogs. “In honor of ‘Labor’ Day, Ace & Penny would like to make an announcement. Their parents couldn't be happier…,” Underwood captioned the snap with the two pups in “I’m going to be a big sister” and “big brother” shirts, respectively.

Fisher, who plays professional hockey for the Nashville Predators, also used social media to confirm the news, quipping that they were leaning towards naming the child "Fly."

“They couldn’t be happier to be starting a family," a source told Us Weekly about the couple that tied the knot in 2010.

This will be the first child for both Underwood, 31, and Fisher, 34. Not long after they married, Underwood admitted that they weren't rushing to become parents. "Oh, it's going to be a while. The other night, [my husband] was with some friends and their kids, and he sent me a funny text saying, 'Watching my friend's kids … Let's wait a while,'" Underwood told InStyle, adding, "I didn't grow up around kids, and I hope those motherly instincts are in me."

In another interview, Underwood revealed that she and Fisher were hoping to have two children and would draw the line at four. “Three is fine," Underwood told Self. "Four? Somebody’s getting something done, because we ain’t having five!”
