It's a boy for the former American Idol finalist!
Former American Idol contestant Brooke White and her husband, Dave Ray, welcomed their second child, a baby boy named Sonny John Ray, on Saturday, Sept. 3.
"Ahhh! He's here!! Our little man, Sonny John Ray, was born [Saturday] at 7:08 p.m. at a whopping 9lbs 9oz and 22 inches!" White told ET. "He's alert and amazing. We couldn't be more obsessed with our butterball! Can't wait for him to meet his big sister. So grateful!"
White, who made it to the finals of the singing competition's seventh season, announced her pregnancy in February, sharing a photo of her son's sonogram. The road to baby number two was a difficult one for White, who experienced secondary infertility before conceiving her son via IVF.
When she announced the happy news of her pregnancy on Instagram, the 33-year-old artist acknowledged the struggle, writing, "WHEW, It's been a process. infertility is hard. IVF is downright crazy, I've been a hormonal mess for several months, but it's totally worth it, because it finally worked. Hallelujah!"

She also revealed that her 4-year-old daughter, London, was still getting used to the idea of becoming a family of four. "She woke up this morning and told us she's "just not ready to become a big sister yet," White wrote. “She has been kissing my belly and excited most days for her baby brother, but she's such a perceptive little soul. She's been the only one, she's been my little partner in crime. She knows it's all about to change."
In other baby news, Nick and Vanessa Lachey announced their family is growing to a party of five! The singer and television personality shared the announcement via matching (and adorably clever) Instagram posts.
"We got a new crib! Now we need a new CRIB!" the Instagram post reads. "Newest Lachey arriving 2017."
