Candice Accola's family is about to get bigger!

The Vampire Diaries star is pregnant! Accola Instagrammed an adorable photo Monday that put her tiny baby bump on display. Pictured in the center and surrounded by husband Joe King and her two stepdaughters, Ava and Elise, Accola and the rest of the group all point at her belly, which is labeled "BABY" on a white T-shirt.

"Sometimes a Saturday is best spent painting t-shirts and taking an awesome family photo," she captioned the pic. "Happy Monday everybody! #ThatAintNoBurritoinMyBelly Thank you to our friend @softspiritstrong for coming over and snapping this sweet pic."

King, who is part of the band The Fray, wore a matching white T-shirt that had "SUPERDAD" written on it. This will be the couple's first child together.

The singer and actress tied the knot in New Orleans in the fall of 2014 after getting engaged in May 2013. This is Accola's first marriage and baby, but it's King's second marriage and the new addition will be his third child.

E! News confirmed that several of Accola's TVD co-stars attended her nuptials, including Nina Dobrev and Paul Wesley. Ian Somerhalder wasn't able to attend but posted a touching tribute in the couple's honor on his Instagram page. "Candace and Joe- my brother, my sister. What a magical day this is for both of you," he said. "From the eye of the storm I am still with you in spirit!"

Congratulations to the happy couple and their growing family!
