— -- Vanessa Carlton is pregnant.

The "A Thousand Miles" singer and her husband, musician John McCauley, are expecting their first child, she revealed on Facebook.

"See the picture below. No, those aren't a bunch of croissants. We're expecting a baby," she wrote on Facebook. "It’s healthy and moving around like a champ."

Why Vanessa Carlton is Excited to Go on Tour With Her Husband

The only downside of impending motherhood? Carlton, 33, said that her new album, Liberman, will have to be released next summer as opposed to sooner.

"I’m bummed to delay the album because it's so special to me and the perfect combination of England and Tennessee," she wrote. "When I put the record on it feels like medicine. I hope it does the same for you…in due time!"

Having a baby has been a long road for Carlton, who suffered an ectopic pregnancy last year. Earlier this month, she opened up to ABC News about what it was like to go public with the ordeal.

"I just felt like when people approached me about talking about it, I was like 'I am going to do this,' even though I'm a very private person and that was a very difficult experience, I actually felt better talking about it," she said. "I felt like if there's any woman who is in this situation, who is not sure if something is wrong or not ... if it's something I helped to perpetuate, then it was worth it."
