Talking on Howard Bragman‘s YouTube show Gwissues, she said: 'When gay couples have babies it’s logistically a little different than when straight people have babies as we all know.
'We feel our entire relationship has been blessed. We feel lucky and ready to take on the challenges.
'We’re excited to be parents and we hope we don’t mess it up too badly.'
Chely married her girlfriend Lauren last year just 15 months after coming out.

Chely has previously claimed being openly gay is damaging to her career.
The singer saw her sales plummet by two-thirds after she came out of the closet.
She said: 'The thing that I don't understand -- the thing I find so ... hilarious, actually, is the fact that the country music community, fine folk that they are, and that's not sarcasm, openly supports and encourages things like alcoholism.

She said: 'I knew that if I had a gun in my mouth, I could imagine how many kids were sitting in their bedroom with a bottle of pills or on the verge in some other way.
