Thomas Rhett and Lauren Akins Embrace Surprise: Waiting to Discover Baby Number Five's Gender
Thomas Rhett and Lauren Akins recently announced that they are expecting their fifth child, adding to their family of four daughters. The couple has been open about their journey to parenthood, including the adoption of their daughter Willa Gray from Uganda. Thomas often shares about his experiences as a "girl dad" on social media, expressing his love for his daughters.
In a surprising twist, Thomas and Lauren revealed that they will be waiting until the baby's birth to find out the gender, a departure from their previous pregnancies. The due date is set for March, and the couple is excited to experience the surprise of discovering the baby's gender on the day of birth. Fans are eagerly anticipating the arrival of baby number five and are curious to see who will join the family.
During a podcast appearance, Thomas and Lauren shared that the baby is already estimated to weigh 6 pounds at 32 weeks, hinting at the possibility of a larger newborn. If the pregnancy goes to full term, the baby could weigh around 11 pounds, according to Thomas. Lauren jokingly suggested strapping an 11-pound weight to her husband to give him a taste of what she's going through.
The couple's journey to expanding their family has been filled with love and excitement, and their decision to wait for the baby's gender adds an element of surprise to the experience. With their due date approaching, Thomas and Lauren are looking forward to welcoming their newest addition and sharing the joy of parenthood once again.
