Barrett also recalled the moment she first learned she was pregnant back in May: "It's funny, because I did not think that I was. Around lunchtime, I remember taking the test and my eyes nearly crossed! I was like, 'Wait, is that two lines?' I came running out to Cade and was just like, 'Oh my gosh, I think I am.' That's all that I said, and he knew what that meant. I started crying, and it was very sweet."

From the time he and Barrett got married, they've "talked and prayed" about having kids, Foehner added.

"Of course," he explained, "with the pandemic happening, there was this huge amount of time of getting to think and rethink what life was going to be about. So we started trying pretty much at the start of the whole pandemic. It happened pretty quickly. We were expecting it to take a little while, and it seemed like the first try that it happened, so we were just so excited. We were blown away that it worked so quickly."

Barrett has taken fans along on her pregnancy journey, sharing photos of her baby bump on Instagram and showing it off at the CMA Awards in November and the CMA Country Christmas special in December.

On Jan. 12, Barrett shared a photo on Instagram of a baby onesie, writing in the caption, "Any day now..🥰"
