Cody Johnson is already the proud father of two girls, but he can't wait to become a boy dad as well. Johnson and his wife Brandi announced her pregnancy in May, also revealing it would be the couple's first son.

"I didn't get to live the cowboy life for a long time," Johnson explains on SiriusXM's The Highway. "I had to kind of earn my way to the point where I could afford to say, 'We're gonna go buy a ranch and we're doing this.' So the fact that he's gonna be born into a cattle ranch, that's gonna be cool. He's gonna be the little, I promise you, the little buckaroo riding around with six shooters on."
Johnson is also counting on his son's big sisters to help with the babysitting.
"They keep calling it our baby," Johnson shares. "'Well when our baby gets here, when our baby, we are...' And I'm like, 'This is not a we, y'all are still kids.' But then it hit me. I've built in babysitters. Clara's 10, Cori's eight. So like, this boy is screwed."
The Texan admits he is glad he is having a son.
"I didn't care if this one was a boy or a girl, but I was pretty happy when I saw the gender reveal," Johnson tells People.
How Cody Johnson Found Out Brandi Was Pregnant
Johnson admits he was surprised, to put it mildly, when Brandi told him she was expecting again.
"So Brandi did this weird thing where she was like, she texted me," Johnson recalls. "She ran to town, and she's like, 'Hey, can you come out to the barn and help me unload my truck?' And I was like, 'Okay.' I go out there, and it's this little bitty box. And I'm like, 'You 100 percent could have done this yourself.'
"And so I unload the box," he continues. "And she's like, 'Oh, and I do have one more thing in there if you can get that.' And I'm like, 'Okay.' It's this little bitty box. I unload it, and I'm trying to figure out what's going on. And she's like, 'Oh, by the way, here you can have this too.' And it was a pregnancy test."
Brandi is due this fall.
