Looks like Little Big Town is going to need a bigger bus this year! Preferably one with a nursery.
Congratulations goes out to Karen Fairchild and Jimi Westbrook on the birth of their first child, a son, this past Friday in Nashville, TN. Baby Elijah Dylan Westbrook weighed 7 lbs., 14 oz., and was 19 and ¾ inches long.
People.com caught up with the happy new parents, “We’ve been waiting for this for a long time and can’t tell you how thrilled and blessed we both feel,” says Karen, who went on to say that her hubby is going to be a “natural” at fatherhood.
“Karen is going to be an incredible mom,” Jimi told People. “She has always been so good with children. Besides, she’s done a great job raising me to become a responsible adult!”
The couple will be heading back out on the road this May along with their fellow band members Kimberly Roads Schlapman and Phillip Sweet. Kimberly and her husband Stephen have a 2 1/2-year old daughter, Daisy Pearl. And Phillip and his wife Rebecca have a 2-year old daughter, Penelopi Jane.
Sounds like Little Big Town should be pitching Pampers® and Gerber® for a tour sponsorship.

I love all 4 of LBT! Wish Jimi and Karen a safe and healthy pregnancy! Wow, they all have kiddies now and that must be a fun bus to be on! I like that they take their little ones with them, and I love the name Daisy Pearl, it's just what I would think Kimberly would name her child as she reminds me of a sweet little girl herself! GOD BLESS ALL OF YOU AND MAY YOUR SUCCESS CONTINUE, love all your songs and CD's. Keep em comin'!
Sounds like a traveling preschool to me. Boy oh boy are you guys gonna be busy! We met you guys and gals in Del Mar several years ago. Your a great group of peeps. God bless you and your new little families. Kids are such a blessing. (well untl they are adolescents.. whole different scenario) LOL!

What a proper name for that band! Little Big Town for that's what they have..little ones and big ones and they almost have a town now! I agree, pampers and Gerbers should be sponsors! I wonder if they are touring with anyone or doing their own thing.
It's like there's a whole new generation of Little Big Towners now that they all have kids!
Congrats, Jimi and Karen!
