Joey McIntyre and wife Barret are expecting new baby on the way, and will be join the brother, Griffin, 20 months old, in December.
The couple are feel so bless with the new baby in the block and and still can not forget how the news comes like a rain drop in the sunny day, unpredictable and blessed.
“My wife actually took the [pregnancy] test but she thought it was negative,” says McIntyre. “She came out and gave me this look like, ‘No.’ Then she showed me the test and I said ‘It’s positive! What the hell?'”
The blessed parents first very much convince they were having a girl, and when found out they are having a baby boy. Shock? O yeah it’s shocking, moreover they picked a girl name already. At the end they could not hardly disappointing anymore, having couple of boys sound like adventuring.
“It’s going to be a trip to have a couple of boys around.”
I say, keep the baby girl name, it would be number three soon. And he says, “I think we have a deal to keep going until we have a girl,” says McIntyre with a laugh. “That’s what my wife says.”
Preparing big brother or sister to welcome the their youngest is not easy, but it seems McIntyre who grew up the youngest of nine kids, taught Griffin well, along with constantly kissing his mommy’s belly, “We say to him all the time, ‘Do you want us to bring home a baby?'” Griffin’s response? “Please!”
Inspired by his toddler to start a book drive through the Let’s Get This Foundation. While on the road, McIntyre and the rest of the New Kids have collected thousands of new children’s books and distributed them to children in need in various cities.
“My wife is an avid reader and from the get-go she sat down with him and read with him. You see the importance of that,” says McIntyre, who also reads to Griffin some of his favorites like Good Night, Gorilla. “Then I found out there’s a lack of age-appropriate books for kids, I saw a huge void and I knew our fans could step up.” McIntyre hopes to reach 25,000 children by the time the guys wrap up their tour on July 18.
That’s very good idea for sharing your books so its more useful to another children.
Congratulation..
