Carrie Underwood used social media to announce she's pregnant
The country music star says she made the announcement to honor "labor" day
Her husband Mike Fisher suggests the name Fly on Twitter
Country music star Carrie Underwood and husband Mike Fisher took to Twitter Monday to make an announcement: They are expecting their first child.
In a riddle of sorts, Underwood tweeted a picture of herself holding her two dogs, with the dogs sporting T-shirts that read “I’m going to be a big brother” on one and “big sister” on the other.
The tweet reads “In honor of ‘Labor’ Day … Ace & Penny would like to make an announcement. Their parents couldn’t be happier! ”
Her husband, Mike Fisher, an NHL player, tweeted more directly: “We haven’t picked names yet, but it’s looking like Fly is gonna fly.”
The 31-year old Underwood was American Idol Champion in 2004 and has been releasing hits ever since.
In June the platinum-selling singer took home a CMT Music Award for video of the year, for her hit “See You Again.” It was the fifth time Underwood snagged the award and her third win in a row.
