Underwood, the winner of six Grammy awards, is expecting her first child, according to a whimsical photo the star posted to Twitter on Monday, _USA Today_ [reports](http://entertainthis.usatoday.com/2014/09/01/see-carrie-underwoods-cute-pregnancy-announcement/ "undefined"). In the photo, the former American Idol songstress cuddles her two dogs, each wearing shirts proclaiming that they’ll soon be a big brother and a big sister. “In honor of ‘Labor’ Day…Ace & Penny would like to make an announcement. Their parents couldn’t be happier!” Underwood tweeted, along with the picture. This will be the first child for Underwood and husband hockey player Mike Fisher. Fisher retweeted his wife’s announcement, _USA Today_ says, and also posted his own in which he ventured an unusual name for the baby boy or girl. “We haven’t picked names yet but it’s looking like Fly is gonna fly,” he said. \[[_USA Today_](http://entertainthis.usatoday.com/2014/09/01/see-carrie-underwoods-cute-pregnancy-announcement/ "undefined")\] ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3252189/carrie-underwood-expecting-first-child/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3252189/carrie-underwood-expecting-first-child/"},"headline":"Country Singer Carrie Underwood Is Expecting Her First Child","datePublished":"2014-09-02T06:22:10.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-21T09:57:30.837Z","description":"That's what her two dogs Ace and Penny said, anyway","url":"https://time.com/3252189/carrie-underwood-expecting-first-child/","keywords":["celebrities","Pregnancy","Music","twitter","grammy awards","American Idol","country music"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltd24d8d7c01bef5ec/6986a1a306f2c15eae330877/rtr3s9qb.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Elizabeth Barber"}],"articleSection":"Entertainment","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltd24d8d7c01bef5ec/6986a1a306f2c15eae330877/rtr3s9qb.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Carrie Underwood accepts Video Of The Year Award during the 2014 CMT Music Awards in Nashville","caption":"Carrie Underwood accepts Video Of The Year Award during the 2014 CMT Music Awards in Nashville","creditText":"Harrison McClary—Reuters","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/entertainment/","name":"Entertainment"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/celebrities/","name":"celebrities"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/3252189/carrie-underwood-expecting-first-child/","name":"Country Singer Carrie Underwood Is Expecting Her First Child"}}]}] ```
