Aly Michalka announced she was pregnant on Wednesday, sharing a seaside photo of her growing baby bump.

It will be the 34-year-old Aly & AJ singer's first child with her husband of eight years – commercial director Stephen Ringer – and the baby is due in May.

Aly (née Alyson) first found out she was pregnant on the morning of her sold-out Sept. 8 concert at the Greek Theater in Los Angeles during her With Love From Tour.

“Our little one has already been on stage with me in three states and has even made some international trips!” Michalka – who has 625,000 Instagram followers – wrote.

'We're waiting to find out the gender because I've always loved a good surprise, but in the meantime we've been busy getting the nursery ready, meeting my birth team, eating more protein than usual, going to Pilates, right sleep and drink plenty of water.

'Somehow we were able to spend days in the studio writing music that will hopefully find its way into the baby's soul. I'm so grateful for all the amazing women I've had the pleasure of relying on over the past six months (you know who you are). It makes me hopeful about the goodness in the world.”

The Baby Lay Your Head Down singer's Instagram slideshow received congratulations from her former Hellcats co-star Ashley Tisdale as well as four-time Grammy nominee Jewel.

Aly—who craves tacos and birria—doesn't suffer from the stereotypical nausea that comes with having a baby on board.

“It was a very easy pregnancy, and I feel really lucky and blessed to have experienced this,” Michalka said People on Wednesday.

“Lately it's starting to feel really real, just because I'm starting to see it now — and I got my belly button piercing out, which means the stomach is really popping out.”

The SoCal native originally started dating the 39-year-old cinematographer in 2012 after meeting on the set of Andy Landen's film Sequoia, in which he played DP and she played.

“I see that Stephen is obviously a really great dad, which I think is one reason why I wanted to have kids with him,” Aly gushed to the outlet.

“He will be in tune with their feelings and emotions.”

Michalka and Ringer – who do not plan to have a gender reveal party – have chosen six possible names for their child.

“We want the name to feel unique, but I also don't want people to roll their eyes and say, 'This is one of those celebrity kid names. This is so ridiculous,'” the Natalist brand ambassador laughed.

“So I'm thinking, let's stick with a cool classic name, maybe something that sounds like an author or a writer or a musician.”

Stephen hasn't had an IMDb credit since 2016, as he transitioned to directing fashion spots for companies like Loro Piana, Matches and Giuliva Heritage.
