The couple, who married in 2008 in Santa Barbara, California, is excited to expand their family. "This is something that they've wanted for a long time and they're thrilled," a source says. "You can tell they're really in love."

Tia MowryTia Mowry is a mom! The Sister, Sister actress gave birth to her first child Tuesday.

"I can just confirm she had the baby today 7:30 am 8 lbs -- baby boy!" said Mowry's rep.

Tia, who starred with her identical twin sister in Sister, Sister and currently stars in The Game on BET, said prior to the birth that she was glad she wasn't having twins herself.

"I am so relieved I am not having twins," she told Parenting.com. "I tell my mother almost every day I can't believe she was able to carry all that extra weight. Having one baby kick you in the ribs is one thing, but two!?"

"Additionally, I am extremely hormonal now with one baby, so could you imagine double the hormones? That spells double trouble already. To add to the pot of extra hormones, instead of breastfeeding one, you are breastfeeding for two, bathing two, hearing two babies cry at the same time, you get the picture. That's a lot of work!"

Tia Mowry announced her pregnancy in January. She and her husband, actor Cory Hardrict, married in 2008 after dating for six years. This is their first child together.

Tamera Mowry shared some very special news with fans today: She and husband Adam Housley are expecting their first baby! Read on to find out how she broke the news to her twin.

Tamera MowryIt seems like only yesterday that Tia and Tamera Mowry were growing up on our TV screens, but now Tia is a mom -- and Tamera has just announced she is expecting her first baby, too!

Tamera broke the news in an interview with MyStyle.com.

"I'm so excited! I really am! I found out about three months ago that I was pregnant," she revealed. "Honestly, Adam and I were in the 'whatever happens, happens' mode. Now, we are expecting a baby in November."

"I really had no idea! It felt like I was going to get my period, but I didn't get it. When I skipped two days, I thought, This is weird. So I took a pregnancy test and that was it," she explained. "I was shocked at first. I kept looking at the double lines on the test. I couldn't talk for two minutes. I kept saying, Oh my gosh! It was a feeling I can't describe. It was the happiest I had ever felt."

She broke the news to her husband via text. "I actually texted Adam a picture of two pregnancy tests and said, "Happy early Father's Day!" He said, 'Cooool!'"

Her twin, however, got an actual phone call.

"I told Tia over the phone. Her first words were, 'I knew it!' She could just tell. She had that twin intuition. She's so happy. My sister always wants us to go to the park. Soon, Cree, Tia, my baby and I can have a park date! I love that our children will be about a year apart. It's perfect. It's like my cousin Jerome and me. My entire family is so elated!"

Now that Tamera Mowry and Adam Housley have announced they're expecting their first child, what's next? Planning the first family vacation, of course!

Tamera Mowry hopes for a boyTamera Mowry-Housley is simply happy to be boasting a bun in the oven, but she does have her hopes up for a boy to join her family.

"We would love for it to be a boy," she told MyStyle.com. "I want a boy because I have two brothers, whom I love and adore. I helped raise my brothers, so I have somewhat of an experience raising boys. I haven't the slightest idea about raising a girl. It's like the unknown."

Tamera Mowry is going to be a mom! >>

What she does know is what kind of parent she'll be. "I don't want to be too strict and I don't want to be too lenient. It'll be a balance," she noted. "I also definitely have to make sure I don't spoil my baby, because I naturally love to do it. I do it with Cree and with my brothers."

Warning to her future child: Get ready for a lifetime of water works! "I'll probably cry at everything -- every milestone, every achievement. I did that with my brothers. I hope I will be a great mom. Every mom-to-be says that, and they say if you're thinking that, you will be."

Here comes the bride! Tamera Mowry gets married >>

And despite the troubles of traveling with such a youngster, the mom-to-be is looking forward to sporting a stroller while on vacation.

"That baby will be right there with us!" she said. "Adam's parents were great about traveling with him and his brother, so he's very experienced with that."

But the secrets to traveling with a toddler are teamwork and keeping the bigger picture in mind.

"We want to instill a sense of culture into our baby's life," explained Tamera. "We want to open our child's eyes to different worlds. Sometimes people get stuck with one way of living and thinking. Traveling is the best way to break that. Some people also have this mindset that we're all different. When you travel, you realize that we're really alike."

Where to? Tamera admits that their first vacation is already booked. "Adam has surprised me with our first trip! When the baby's 1, we're going to Hawaii because it's family-friendly."

Tia Mowry -- mom, actress and author! Her new book offers a realistic perspective that no other pregnancy book offers, she says.

Tia Mowry talks pregnancy in Oh Baby bookTia Mowry is telling the world about her son, Cree -- or what it was like to carry him, anyway. Her new book Oh, Baby: Pregnancy Tales and Advice from One Hot Mama to Another mirrors the journal entries she kept while pregnant, covering everything from cravings and symptoms to hopes and dreams for her son.

"I don't mind sharing with the world the most amazing gift that God has ever given to me," she said, according to People. "I think it’s good to basically share with my fans what it's like to be a mom, the joys and the challenges."

Tia noted that her book fills a gap that no bookstore currently offers for upcoming mom-to-be readers.

"I think with a lot of pregnancy books, it all came from a medical standpoint, and you were missing the fun, kind of girlfriend approach," she explained. "You don’t want to be constantly reminded of all the bad things that can possibly go on through your pregnancy. You want to feel empowered."

Tia Mowry debuts her son >>

Cree is now 9 months old and accompanying Tia to work on the set of The Game.

"There's a lot of things going on in your mind as a new mom," she said. "When you go to work, you're spending time and hours away from your child, and I would find myself crying and feeling guilty that I was not there. I had to change my perspective on the whole thing and say, 'I am doing this for my son. I am working to give him a better life, to provide him and my family with the best.'"

Some of our favorite celebrity moms graced the cover of magazines this month. Jessica Alba looked amazing on the cover of Marie Claire, and she opened up about how motherhood has changed her style. Mom-to-be Anna Paquin was Zooey Magazine's covergirl, while Tia Mowry rocked Vibe Vixen. Rounding out our list, Jillian Michaels talked adoption on Ladies' Home Journal and the ladies of What to Expect When You're Expecting looked lovely on Redbook.

Jessica Alba Marie Claire June 2012

Jessica Alba

Marie Claire cover girl Jessica Alba wears many hats, including actress, mom and founder of The Honest Company, which makes eco-friendly and non-toxic baby products.

"I started working on this three and a half years ago," Alba tells the magazine about her company. "I took a year off from acting when I had Honor, and I was home with her, diapering her, cleaning up after her, and I had a real frustration that I couldn't find healthy, non-toxic, and affordable products that actually worked. So I decided I needed to do something about it while my family and friends have young children."

Alba also talked about her changing style, and how being a mom has affected the way she dresses and carries herself.

"I had a show [Fox's Dark Angel] that premiered when I was 19. And right away, everyone formed a strong opinion about me because of the way I was marketed. I was supposed to be sexy, this tough action girl. That's what people expected. I felt like I was being objectified, and it made me uncomfortable. I wanted to be chic and elegant!" she revealed. "Now that I'm older, I've learned how to own it, but I'm still not very overt. There are some women who dress for men. I dress for myself. It took me some time to get here. Being a mom and feeling grown-up have helped. Now if I'm going to wear something short, it has to have a high neck or a little sci-fi toughness to it, an edge."

Anna Paquin

Pregnant Anna Paquin wasn't showing when she graced the June 2012 cover of Zooey — and actually didn't reveal her baby news until after it had hit stands. The True Blood actress, who is expecting her first child with her co-star/husband Stephen Moyer, opened up... about shutting up!

"I think it’s important to have things that are just for you and people that are closest to you. Some people share absolutely everything, but then what do you have left that’s yours? It diminishes what’s really special in your life," she said, about having a reputation of being "mysterious."

Paquin, who plays Sookie in the hit HBO show, also explained why she revealed that she is bisexual.

"I’m not someone who endlessly talks about her personal life for no reason, but obviously, as someone who identifies as bisexual, those are issues I really care about," she said.

 “I’m someone who believes being bisexual is actually a thing,” Paquin reveals. “It’s not made up. It’s not a lack of decision. It’s not being greedy or numerous other ignorant things I’ve heard at this point. ... For a bisexual, it’s not about gender. That’s not the deciding factor for who they’re attracted to.”

Jillian Michaels

Former Biggest Loser trainer Jillian Michaels is a new mom — times two! Michaels, who recently came out as gay, adopted a daughter, and her partner, Heidi, just gave birth to a baby boy named Phoenix. Michaels opened up to Ladies' Home Journal about the one person who was negative about her "decision to adopt as a single mom."

"Ann Coulter," she said. "I met [the conservative commentator] during the first segment I ever did on The Doctors. She said I was a selfish narcissist for wanting to adopt as a single parent — that a child who grows up without a father is greatly disadvantaged. I'm a brawler, so when she said that I was like... come here, I'll knock you out. I completely appreciate the importance of fathers but millions of children are without loving homes. I think a child is lucky with one parent who truly loves her."

What terrifies her the most about being a mom?

"I'm afraid my limitations will hurt them in some way. Can I grow enough? Can I evolve fast enough to make sure I don't screw them up? With adopted kids or kids in general they tell you it's going to be trying, that they're not going to say, "Thanks for feeding me and giving me a house." This kid is not there to appreciate you, you know?" she reveals.

The ladies of What to Expect When You're Expecting

Jennifer Lopez, Elizabeth Banks, Cameron Diaz, Brooklyn Decker and Anna Kendrick grace the June 2012 cover of Redbook— and open up about motherhood and their movie, What to Expect When You're Expecting.

Elizabeth Banks recently had a baby boy named Felix via gestational surrogate and talked to Redbook about whether there is a right time to start a family. “I definitely don’t think [you have to wait for] a right time. I mean: Why wait? The Chinese believe that if you have a baby, what you want comes together even better. You just do it, and make it work.”

Lopez, who has twins Max and Emme, revealed how she de-stresses. “My sanctuary is my bathtub. That’s really the only time I get to myself. It’s usually around 15 or 20 minutes, but for me, those minutes are like heaven on earth. Sometimes I even say a little prayer while I’m in there. I’m like, ‘Lord, help me get through this day!’”

Thirty-nine-year-old Diaz addressed the never-ending questions about when she will have a baby. “I’m sure a lot of people would expect that I would have had a child by my age. But it’s not what I’ve wanted out of my life thus far. We still live in a largely chauvinistic world. There’s a box people put themselves in, and when you [live] outside of it, that makes them uncomfortable — they have to look at themselves and question their own choices.“

Celebrity moms reveal their kids’ Halloween costumes

Want to know what celebrities and their kids are wearing this Halloween? At the launch of Tori Spelling’s new children’s clothing line, Little Maven, Spelling and her mommy friends shared what costumes they'll be rocking this year.

Tori Spelling, Dylan McDermott, Liam, Stella, Hattie

What’s more fun than dressing up for Halloween? Dressing your kids up! And no one does it better than celebrities, whose job it is to always look the part.

At the launch of Tori Spelling's new kids clothing line for jcpenney, we asked the star and her celeb mommy friends what costumes they've picked out for themselves and their kids this year.

Spelling, who recently had her fourth baby, spilled to SheKnows what costumes her kids will be wearing this Halloween.

“I asked Liam and Stella what they wanted to be and Liam was like, ‘I want to be a serial killer,’” Tori told us. “I was like, ‘Where have I gone wrong?’ I compromised. He has one nice costume for school, he’s going to be a pirate. Then to go trick-or-treating, he wanted the Jason mask and the fake machete.”

But when Spelling’s 4-year-old Stella tried to get in on the idea, Tori nipped it in the bud.

“Stella, who always follows in Liam’s footsteps said, ‘I want to be a pretty serial killer in pink with pink blood,’” the actress said. “She’s easier to sway. So I was like, ‘You’d be the prettiest mermaid.’ And she’s like, ‘Oh yes, can my mermaid have pink hair?’ So we got her a costume at the Halloween store.’”

For her other two children, 1-year-old Hattie and 2-month-old Finn, the “D-I-Y obsessive” Spelling told us she’ll be hand-making the costumes.

“Hattie and Finn are too young [to pick their own],” Tori said. “I can sew by hand, so I’m going to make their costumes. I think Finn’s going to be a piece of sushi.”

Tori Spelling, Jennie Garth

Like Tori, Spelling’s former 90210 co-star Jennie Garth has Halloween costume concerns as well. But with three growing daughters, hers are more about the amount of fabric and less about the kind of costume.

“I have a zombie cheerleader and a flight attendant,” Garth told SheKnows. “My 15-year-old has legs for days. I make sure that [her skirt] is longer than her arms.”

Garth tells us her girls will likely go trick-or-treating this year, and though she is not personally dressing up, she’ll still reap some Halloween rewards.

“They don’t eat candy,” Garth said. “They just trick or treat for the fun of it, and then I eat the candy.”

Jennie Garth drops the "dead weight" in her life >>

Actress Tia Mowry isn’t going to just let the kids have all the fun. She’s getting in the Halloween spirit and wearing a joint costume with her 1-year-old-son, Cree.

Tia Mowry and son Cree

“My son is a boxer, so it would be hilarious if i was Don King,” she laughed. Mowry told us she plans on picking up a big fake afro to emulate the famous boxing promoter.

And her hubby, Cory Hardrict, will be joining in, too.

“My husband loves Halloween,” she told us. “He’s so excited about it. We just walk around the block and do the whole trick-or-treating thing and then we give out candy as well. My husband just gets a kick out of giving kids the candy.”  

The family got the season started with a trip to pumpkin patch earlier this month where little Cree was already showing off his athletic skills.

“We went to the pumpkin patch and he loved it,” Tia said. “He was trying to pick up the pumpkins and I was like, Cree, this is too big for you!”

Boss star and 90210 alum Kathleen Robertson told us she’ll be going the mother-son collaboration route as well.

“I am being an alien per my sons request,” she told SheKnows. “He’s being an astronaut, and he’s decided for me that I’m going to be his alien. I wanted to be a witch and he nixed that.”

Robertson told us she’ll be sporting full green body paint while her little one wears a classic “big bubble head” getup.

“I’m going to go for it,” she laughed.

Did you have any idea that Tia Mowry or Tori Spelling could sing? We didn't either! They don't sound too shabby in The Mistle-Tones, though.

Mistle-Tones girls face off

There's a brand new Christmas musical in town, and it's coming to ABC Family.

Jumping on the Glee, The Sing-off and Smash bandwagons, Disney has made their very own slightly grown-up Christmas musical. It's full of Broadway theatrics and close harmonies with a glee club feel . Instead of endless seasons, full of pointless drama just to keep the story going, The Mistle-Tones is just a one-time thing.

The Mistle-Tones is everything you'd expect from a Disney/ABC Family musical. Tia Mowry plays Holly, a gifted singer who wants to try out for her town's prestigious choir that her mother had founded years earlier. When the only available spot goes to the less-than-talented best friend of leader, Marci , Holly sets out for revenge. With a little help from her friends and co-workers, Holly creates her very own musical group, The Mistle-Tones. Annoyed but confident in herself and her group, Holly challenges the other group to a sing-off on Christmas Eve.

The movie follows Holly from auditioning to practicing with her new group to the night of the performance. That means lots and lots of Christmas music, as each group tries to tackle another Christmas standard. Like in all Christmas movies, along the way, Holly discovers the true meaning of Christmas... and manages to find true love. Tia Mowry sings in The Mistle-Tones

Sounds like a decent Christmas present. But, will she win the Christmas Eve sing-off?

Surprisingly enough, both Spelling and Mowry appear to have decent singing voices. While their performances are often cheesy and gimmicky, their voices are great. Mowry seems to have the advantage, but only because the rest of her group is much better than Spelling's.

The original made-for-television movie, The Mistle-Tones premieres on ABC Family on Sunday, December 9 at 8/9c as part of ABC Family's 25 Days of Christmas.

1. Tia Mowry

Tia Mowry pregnant

Due date: July 3

Has pregnancy ever looked more elegant? Mowry, 32, of '90s sitcom Sister, Sister fame says she and her hubby, Cory Hardrict, love feeling the baby kick so much that Hardrict not-so-subtly encourages the little guy: "Sometimes my husband will just tap my belly like, 'Hey! Are you in there?' But he moves when I eat because he's eating and loves it."

2. EVANGELINE LILLY

Evangeline Lilly pregnant

Due date: Late June

Gliding through L.A.'s city streets last week in an adorably fluttery maxi dress, Lilly, 31, looks naturally beautiful and serene as can be, basking in her pre-baby glow. Who's her baby daddy? Boyfriend Norman Kali, who was a production assistant on Lost. After the baby arrives, you can count on Lilly enjoying every minute of it: "I'm definitely planning on taking a break for a little while," she has said. "I consider acting a day job — it's not my dream; it's not my be-all, end-all."

3. Kate Hudson

Kate Hudson pregnant in bikini

Due date: Mid-July

Bikini? Sure! Kayaking in Brazil? Why not! This is baby number two for Hudson, 32, who's expecting a child with her new brand-new fiancé, Muse frontman Matthew Bellamy. In addition to inspiring everyone with her baby-body confidence, Hudson makes having a baby sound better than...well, anything. Here's what she told Extra!: "Being pregnant is wonderful. You do get the pregnant mush-brain.… You know what it's like? It's like getting stoned."

4. Pink

Pink pregnant on the Ellen De Generes show

Due date: May

Love the hair! Pink, 31, illustrates that you don't have to give up your rock-star style if you're expecting. She's having her first child with her husband, motocross cutie Carey Hart. One of the obstacles that she faces every day (literally?): Stumbling! She tweeted after she fell up the stairs (but saved the cookie she was holding) a few weeks ago: "i am the clumsiest i have ever been in my life. fell AGAIN today! i feel like my 92 yr old grammom in a shower with oil on my feet. #dumb. (sic)"

Can't wait to see the finished products, lovely ladies!
