It’s been a big week for baby news! 

Not only did Raechel Whitchurch announce the arrival of her third son with husband Ben Whitchurch, but both Randy Houser and Chris Lane welcomed new additions into their family, with Jon Pardi revealing the gender of his expected newborn.  

Houser and his Australian-born wife, Tatiana Starzynski, took to social media on Thursday morning to introduce their second child, Harlan ‘Banks’ Houser, who was born on September 21.

The couple wrote, "Answered prayers and hearts so full. We have spent the past 4 weeks soaking up every minute of family time with baby Banks. Thank you, Lord, for this sweet boy!!"

Harlan joins 3-year-old son, Huckleberry Randolph, who was born in 2019. Houser also has a 10-year-old son named West from his previous marriage to Jessica Lee Yanz.

Lane and his wife, Lauren Bushnell, also welcomed their second child, born in Nashville on Sunday, October 16 via caesarean. The baby boy’s name has yet to be announced.  

"Life just got 8 Pounds Sweeter! Family of 4 Now!!" Lane shared on social media.

Lane and Bushnell wed in October of 2019, and they welcomed their first child, Dutton, in June of 2021. The couple announced they were expecting their second child in June of 2022, and they revealed the baby was another boy in a post to social media in September.









Meanwhile, Pardi and his hairdresser wife, Summer, shared a video of the couple and revealed the gender of their baby, who will be born in February of 2023.

At the beginning of the video, Summer tells Jon she is pregnant while he works on a project outside of their Nashville farm. He repeats excitedly, “Really? Really?” as she reassures him. The couple then hugs, and Jon says, “Oh my.” 

The video title says, “Gender Reveal.” The video then shows clips of the couple and Summer in different gowns with her pregnant belly and Pardi with a dozen pink roses in his hands. They show an ultrasound and then the words, “Baby Pardi is a girl.”
