Congratulations are in order for Monica and her hubby, Shannon Brown; the couple are expecting their first baby together!

Monica Instagramed a pic of her baby bump just moments before hitting the stage in Chattanooga over the weekend. She also shared a photo from her NBA boo with the caption: “Hallelujah!!! Thank God!!! Thank you Jesus!!! I’m so Blessed!!!” We guess you could say he’s pretty excited about the new bundle of joy

The R&B singer also took to twitter and responded to the many congratulations she received from fans and friends. She even told Niecy Nash that she’s “5 months & counting.”

When we spoke to Monica last year she was excited to expand her family but made a point to say it wouldn’t slow down her music career. She also gave us some insight into how she makes her blended family work.

Congrats to the happy couple! This will be the third child for Monica who has two little boys, Rocko and Romelo, from a previous relationship. For Shannon, this will be baby number 2.
