Scotty McCreery is only a few weeks away from welcoming his firstborn with his wife, Gabi. The baby, a boy, is due to arrive on October 31, a date that is looming closer and closer for the North Carolina native.
“Baby is coming fast, I tell you,” McCreery says (via KIKV radio station). “It seems like just yesterday that Gabi showed me the pregnancy test, and she was like, ‘We’re having a kid.’”
McCreery knows a lot will change for the couple, who wed in 2018, but he insists they are both ready to welcome their little boy.
“It’s going to be the biggest blessing,” McCreery gushes. “I can’t wait to teach this kid things. Get him on the ball field, play him some music, teach him guitar. We’ve already got a little music stand for him to play with. So yeah, we’re pumped.”
McCreery might be eager to become a father, but he is even more eager to see his wife, Gabi, as a mother.
“Just how caring and thoughtful she is — she puts everybody’s needs in front of her own,” says the American Idol alum. “She’s just going to be the best mom.”
McCreery has previously said that he had no doubt that Gabi would excel in motherhood, much like she excels in everything else. But he also said that her professional training would also be a big boost as their baby grows.
“She was a pediatric cardiac intensive care unit nurse, so she’s seen all really tough stuff. So now she’s thinking of everything that can go wrong,’ McCreery shared with Everything Nash and other media outlets. “Everything’s gonna be great, and I’ll be the one asking for help … She’s going to be awesome. And she’s got the experience behind her. I can’t wait.”
McCreery will release his Same Truck: The Deluxe Album on November 18. The record will be released on vinyl, CD and digital.
“We had more songs I loved ready for the original release of Same Truck than we could put on that album, so I am pumped that Triple Tigers asked me to do a Deluxe Edition where I could add six more songs,” McCreery says. “We’ve also had a lot of requests for a vinyl version of Same Truck over the last year, so I’m excited we can offer that option as well.”
McCreery has a few more dates on his calendar before he takes some time off of the road to adjust to being a family of three. Find his music, and a list of all of McCreery’s upcoming shows, at ScottyMcCreery.com.
