Five months ago Kiwi singer Gin Wigmore had just found out she and husband Jason Butler were expecting their first child.
And now she's sharing that joyful news with the world.
"We've kept the news under wraps all these months because I had so much going on," says Wigmore (31), who is revealing her pregnancy exclusively to the NZÂ Herald.
Those goings-on included a fourth album and a trip to Antarctica as part of a TedX talk at Scott Base.
But four months out from the big day, estimated to be September 10, Wigmore is fizzing with excitement.
Speaking from LA, where she's lived since 2013, Wigmore moves the webcam around to reveal her "bump".
"I love kids and always thought I'd have babies by the time I was 26," says Wigmore, famous for her distinctive, gravelly drawl.
"But I didn't realise how exhausting pregnancy would be. And no one tells you how unglamorous it is - I've got huge boobs, a big arse and am incredibly emotional all the time. But on the other hand, I feel like Superwoman because today I made this little person's brain and tomorrow I'll make their liver."
Wigmore and her husband, the lead singer for hardcore punk band Letlive, have opted not to learn the sex of their child and are currently combing their way through names, including Marley for a girl.
"Although I definitely feel like I'm having a boy," she admits.
Wigmore is planning to get back into the touring saddle early next year and, as usual, is hoping to kick off her tour in New Zealand. Although she's comfortable in the Silver Lake home she and Butler bought two years ago ("It's just been painted so it looks fantastic"), she says they often talk about relocating to New Zealand.
