"Chrissy and I started praying on when the time would be right to start a family, and we both felt God nudging us last Spring," Ballard told PEOPLE at the time, adding that he and his wife had decided to wait to find out their baby's sex.
"One of the hardest decisions was, 'Should we find out the sex?' But when else can you be truly surprised in this life anymore?" he said. "The mystery is still intact. February is right around the corner, and we are so eager to meet this precious little gift."
The "Sunshine and Whiskey" singer shared that the first ultasound for baby Pepper "blew my hair straight back."
"I had a thousand prayers answered in one appointment," he said. "To see toes wigglin' and a strong heartbeat sent electricity through my bones."
