Lisa Marie Presley revealed Friday that she can’t wait for her twins to arrive. In a posting on her MySpace page, the singer, 40, writes that she and husband Michael Lockwood, 45, are "beyond thrilled and blessed, elated and saturated in happiness" over the twins they will welcome this fall.
The pair will be the first children together for Lisa and Michael, a musician. Lisa has two children, daughter Riley, 19, a model, and son, Benjamin, 15, with ex-husband Danny Keough.
In her first blog entry since May, she expresses her gratitude to fans for well wishes to the couple, who wed in January 2006. "Thank you so much for all of the amazing positive energy and beautiful well wishes," she writes, adding, "We love reading them."
To those anticipating her third CD, she explains that belting it out is not so easy in her current state. "For those who have been asking me," writes Lisa, who released her debut album, To Whom It May Concern, in 2003 and the follow-up, Now What, two years later. "I am not recording at the moment as there isn't much room for breathing and singing right now, most of that area has been taken up and I can't really sing a line without running out of air halfway though."
Assuaging antsy listeners, she adds, "Writing and recording will resume when the little occupants in there have decided to join the outside world." The otherwise euphoric rocker also used a portion of her post to vent about life under constant media scrutiny.
"In the past couple of years, high profile type people seem to have less and less rights," observes the only child of Elvis Presley. "Less privacy and protection. The onslaught of Internet and tabloid sites mostly want only blood now. They have managed to make being a public figure a 24/7 public stoning and execution of various sorts. Some obviously more brutal than others."

Lisa Marie Presley announced she's expecting twins – and now she's baring her baby bump in a new photo spread in the September issue of Marie Claire. The reason for exposing herself in this spread? Lisa says she's firing back against people who, early in her pregnancy, posted unflattering photos of her and just accused her of having a large, unhealthy appetite. "They want me to be him," she tells the magazine, referring to her father, Elvis Presley. "It's like they can't wait."
Lisa claims "the tabloids were going so far as to alter photos. I could never figure out why they went to all that trouble to make me look fat. "There are at least six other famous women pregnant right now who aren't getting picked on," she says in the interview. "But they're all over me. It's like there is a campaign to demean me." Says Lisa: "You know what I think when I see those fat photos? I am not going to let them control me. I just let it all hang out. You want to look at me? Go ahead and look."
The singer, who is expected to give birth in the fall, has two teenage children, Riley, 19, and Benjamin, 15, with ex Danny Keough. The twins are the first children for Lisa and husband Michael Lockwood. But Lisa remains defiant when it comes to the fat-talk. "I am 5' 3," she says. "If I gain five pounds it shows."
"I am trying to grow another human being," she adds. "Besides, I'm 40! I'm lucky to even be able to do this." Taking stock of her life – and her pregnancy – Lisa tells Marie Claire in the issue out August 12 that she's growing emotionally as well. "We're all going to screw up," Lisa says. "The important thing is, do you learn from it and not do it again? Can you make it better in the future? Can you change? I am in a happy place now. But it took a lot to get here. I wasn't always who I am now."

Lisa Marie Presley's twins won't be calling Priscilla Presley "grandma." "We say 'Nona' — it means 'grandma' in Italian," the Dancing With the Stars alum, 63, tells Entertainment Tonight. "There's just such a connotation with Grandma, and I just liked it better," she adds. "[Lisa Marie's children] say it so sweet: 'Nona.'"
Lisa Marie, 40 — whose twins with husband Michael Lockwood will arrive this fall — has two children from a previous marriage to Danny Keough. Us Weekly first broke the news in its issue last week that Lisa Marie was expecting a double delivery. On Tuesday, Priscilla confirmed it to ET.
"It's her time to celebrate with her husband," Priscilla says. "My daughter is a very family girl. She loves children, and I know that she and Michael have been hoping for this for a long time.”
Priscilla says she is ready to dote on the little ones. "I'm looking at baby stores; I'm looking at all the incredible things that are out there today that I wish that were there during my time," Priscilla tells ET. "It's just fun to have a baby!"
