Mackenzie Porter and Jake Etheridge are growing their family.

The Canadian country singer took to Instagram on Thursday with the heartwarming news that she and her husband are expecting.

In a carousel of maternity photos, Porter proudly put her baby bump on display, wearing a dark brown crop tank top and unbuttoned baggy blue jeans. She accessorized with a beige cowboy hat, and chose to go barefoot — embracing the classic,"barefoot and pregnant" look.

Etheridge joined in on the snaps, wearing matching dark brown trousers and a plain white T-shirt.

The "Chasing Tornadoes" songstress penned a heartfelt caption expressing the couple's excitement to become parents.

"Our sweet baby. We couldn't be more excited to meet you, hold you, kiss your lil squishy cheeks and let Willa lick your lil' toes," she wrote. "To say we are a tad nervous would be an understatement but what we know without an ounce of doubt is that we will love you more than anything in this entire world."

She continued: "We will never go back to who we were before. We are now three (well, four including the fur bean) forever. Love Mom and Dad."

Fans met Porter's announcement with warm congratulatory messages in the comments.

"The cutest soon-to-be parents," an Instagram user wrote.

"These photos are stunning. Love the barefoot and pregnant look on you. So beautiful!! Congratulations. You're going to make the best parents!," another fan shared.

"Welcome to the hot moms club!," someone else quipped.

"So wonderful!," another chimed in.

"Cutest of all time," a commenter wrote.

Porter and the former "Nashville" actor announced their engagement in June 2019 after five years of dating.

"Jake took me out for an eight-course dinner at a new Indian restaurant in Nashville," Porter recalled to People Magazine about the proposal. "We walked home, and when I opened up our front door, his favourite song."

"The floor was covered in candles and roses, there was champagne on ice and he instantly got down on one knee. He said all of the sweet things and asked me to do forever with him!," she detailed.

"So, we've been secretly engaged for a few weeks now — soaking it in with our family and friends," she sweetly added: "We've been best friends for five years and now have a 'bestie for the restie.' Surprise! We are getting freaking married."
