The 'Cry Pretty' hitmaker is expecting her second child with husband Mike Fisher and is thrilled that their three-year-old son Isaiah is finally going to get a sibling.

Holding back the tears, Carrie told Us Weekly: "It took us a while to get here ... I'm gonna cry again. [I'm] just so thankful to find out Isaiah's gonna have a baby brother. It was just great news. We're excited."

Speaking about how she manages to juggle being a mother with her hectic work schedule, she said: "Balance is what it's all about, no matter what your job is.

"Being a mom, working and dividing your time. It's what we all have to do as mothers."

The 35-year-old singer revealed the sex of her unborn baby at the Country Music Association Awards last week at Nashville's Bridgestone Arena, after her co-host Brad Paisley joked that he would reveal her little one's gender, like he did at the ceremony in 2014.

He said: "Remember last time when I accidentally revealed the gender of your baby?"

Carrie replied: "I mean, who could ever forget #Bradblewit?"

Brad then joked that Carrie's husband may not be the father of her unborn baby.

He said: "Tonight we're going to reveal something even more exciting.

"Who the father is ... Mike we're all rooting for you buddy. What's your gut feeling? Seriously, Carrie give me a little baby hint. Johnny or June? Keith or Nicole? Garth or Trisha? Tim or Faith? George or Tammy? Waylon or Willie?"

Carrie then replied: "Oh my gosh, Willie! It's a Willie!"

Carrie recently admitted her second pregnancy is "harder" than the first time around.

She said: "It's definitely different than the first time. When they say every pregnancy is different, it really is. Just different symptoms.

"I feel like this one is just a little harder on my body for some reason. But it's been really good."

Carrie and Mike have picked out a name for their little one, but are keeping the moniker under wraps for now.

She said: "We have picked out a name, but we're keeping that to ourselves right now."
