It’s a Boy for Little Big Town’s Karen Fairchild and Jimi Westbrook

Little Big Town's Jimi Westbrook and Karen Fairchild

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.
