There’s a bun in Vanessa Carlton’s oven! According to UsMagazine.com, the A Thousand Miles singer announced that she’s expecting her first child with husband John McCauley  on Thursday, June 26th. The 33-year-old songstress posted a photo of her tiny bump and a update of her fifth album in progress: “I can now reveal the reason as to why Liberman will not be released until next summer. See the picture below,” she captioned. She continued on with a little humor about her bundle of joy: “No, those aren’t a bunch of croissants. We’re expecting a baby. It’s healthy and moving around like a champ.” Carlton added, “I’m bummed to delay the album because it’s so special to me and the perfect combination of England and Tennessee. When I put the record on it feels like medicine. I hope it does the same for you…in due time! Thanks for sticking with me. John, Victor, and I are over the moon.” (Victor is the couple’s pooch).

2. You both agree: Many couples struggle to have this conversation. In some cases, one person in the relationship doesn’t want kids — and unfortunately, that truth may not come out until you really begin planning your future. If it’s important to you, be sure to discuss it with your partner before getting married, moving in together, or taking another big step.
