Country singer Chris Lane and his wife Lauren Bushnell Lane welcomed their first baby on June 8. Overwhelmed to see their newborn son, whom they named Dutton Walker Lane, the beaming parents confirmed the news to PEOPLE.

2 days old Dutton was born at 11:12 am and to everyone’s “shock”, the baby weighed in at 9 lbs and measured 19.5 inches long.

"Everyone in the room, including Lauren and me, were shocked we had a 9-pound baby! Not sure where he was hiding in her belly?!" the new dad joked.

The 36-year-old singer then opened up about the life-changing process of seeing a baby come to life and said it was “the most incredible thing” he has seen.

"Watching Lauren go through the birthing process - from the beginning to the moment she delivered - was the most incredible thing I've ever witnessed. I experienced an emotion I've never felt before,” he continued.

Big, Big Plans singer’s wife also opened up about the magical experience of becoming a mother and the support she received in this time from her husband.

"I've never felt an immediate unconditional love like I now have for Dutton. And going through this experience with Chris has made me love and appreciate him even more … I didn't think that was possible!" Lauren added.
