"We are so happy we can hardly stand it," Cassie wrote.
The news is especially joyous for the couple, as they have had a long, arduous journey on the road to fertility. In her post, Cassie writes that a fertility doctor once told them they "had about a one-percent chance of conceiving a child naturally."

The couple's bundle of joy will have plenty of playmates. Lady Antebellum's Dave Haywood welcomed son Cash 11 months ago and Hillary Scott has a 2-year-old daughter, Eisele.
