People.com Celebrity Parents Josh Turner: Baby News is an Answered Prayer By Staff Author Published on February 21, 2009 06:00 PM Share Tweet Pin Email Josh Turner was praying for a good song but ended up with an even better gift, he tells PEOPLE. “I was in town writing songs one day and had been praying for something good to happen,” he says. “We did write a song and it wasn’t that great, but when I came home, my wife, Jennifer, and 2-year old son were playing and she told me she was pregnant again. Man, I was speechless! It was like, ‘Wow, we’re doing this again!'” The singer, who is up for an Academy of Country Music award in April, says that the idea of parenthood the second time around isn’t nearly as daunting. “I do feel more confident,” says Josh, 31. “Jennifer talked about little things she’s worried about but I’m like, ‘Hey we’ve been through this before.’ The fundamental things you freaked out about with the first child, I don’t think you’ll freak out about them as much. I’m more prepared for those newborn months, the crying and trying to figure out what’s wrong.” Josh says that son Hampton Otis seems ready to take on the role of big brother when the new baby arrives this summer. “He’s excited about having a play partner,” Josh explains. “He keeps talking about how he wants to snuggle with it. I’m hoping he’s going to be snuggly and not rough!” Source: PEOPLE — Eileen Finan Related Articles Country's Josh Turner: Baby News Is an Answered Prayer Josh Turner Shares Sacrifice in Christmas Song, Makes Holiday Tour a Family Affair: 'Making Memories' Jamie Chung Shares What Raising Twin Babies Is 'Really Like': 'Had A Good Morning Cry' Vanessa Lachey: Why I Didn't Immediately Bond with My Baby Bump Kendra Wilkinson-Baskett Celebrates Pregnancy at Fun Baby Shower Jennifer Love Hewitt and Husband Brian Hallisay Welcome Third Baby, Son Aidan James Josh Turner and Wife Expecting Baby No. 3!
