"I am in my third trimester now," says Messina, 38. "We knew we wanted to have kids, but we just said, 'Whenever it happens, it happens.' And it happened!"
Messina, 38, celebrated her one-year anniversary with husband Chris Deffenbaugh, 28, last week.
"We were both surprised at first. It's such a lifestyle change. But then we're like, 'Wow, we're going to be parents!'"
The singer plans to stay fit throughout her pregnancy and even run a five-mile race on Thanksgiving Day. "I'll be eight months pregnant and running. It should be interesting!"
Once the baby is born, Messina plans to continue performing nationwide, bringing her baby on tour. But even she isn't 100-percent sure how it will work out. Ironing out the details will come later, she adds. "I will take him on tour with me, but I'm like, 'How do you do that?' I might grab one of the other singer moms like Sara Evans or Martina McBride and say, 'Help me!'"
