“The shock that it was another boy lasted a few hours for Mary. Some tears have been shed, I won’t lie,” Walker said People at the time.
“It was out of expectation, but it was overcome by the thought that we have no control over it.”
“We don’t decide if it’s a boy or a girl, and she understood that after a while,” he added.
And while the couple didn’t reveal when their baby was due, Walker may have to juggle his calendar a bit.
The Chain of Love singer began his Country Side Tour in February and will be on the road through July.
The If I Could Make a Living singer will stop in Texas, Missouri and Kansas through June.
The chart topper then goes on a west coast swing with stops in Nevada, California and Oregon in July.
From mid-July to early October, the soon-to-be father of eight hits stops in Arkansas, Missouri, Nebraska, Idaho, Pennsylvania, New York and Indiana.
It is a girl! “We’re beyond excited about having a little girl!” Walker wrote in a press release. “Her brothers and sisters are waiting for her to arrive. God is great!
