Lacey Chabert announces pregnancy

Actress Lacey Chabert has announced she's expecting her first child in a sweet social media snap.

The Mean Girls star shared a photo of her dog Kitty on Instagram.com and Twitter.com on Saturday (27Feb16) wearing a t-shirt that proudly reveals the happy news.

"My mom is having a baby and all I get is this silly shirt," reads the doggy jumper. Lacey captioned the shot, "Kitty doesn’t seem as excited as we are about this... I’m pregnant!!!! My husband and I are thrilled & so thankful."

The actress has thanked fans for their well wishes on Twitter, posting: "Thank you all so much for the sweet messages. It means a lot!"

Earlier this month (Feb16), Lacey was seen at the baby shower of friend and fellow actress Amy Davidson.

E! reports that Lacey managed to hide her pregnancy while on The Bachelor Live at the beginning of February.

The 33-year-old tied the knot with husband Dave Nehdar in a surprise ceremony in 2013. "Over the (Christmas) holidays, my best friend and love of my life... we became husband and wife,” Lacey wrote on Twitter when she shared the news.
