“My baby’s been a gem to me already,” gushes Brooke. “I really haven’t slowed down since finding out the news in September. But I kept it a secret until about two weeks ago. There are a few really hard secrets I’ve kept in my life — one was American Idol and the other was being pregnant. I’m a confidentiality pro!”

Brooke (and Dave) thought pregnancy would be tougher. “I thought I would be miserable and having every symptom in the book,” admits Brooke. “Dave was excited for the day we’d have kids but dreaded the day I’d get pregnant because he wasn’t sure he could handle me! But I’ve been on the road doing the shows and minus some pretty good exhaustion and heartburn, I’ve actually done really well.”

Brooke thinks she’s having a girl, but she’s not 100 percent sure… yet. “So I’ve been buying little outfits and I can barely contain my excitement,” she says, “but honestly — and I genuinely mean this — if my little girl decided to change her mind and become a boy, I’d be stoked either way! I’ll just be happy to have a healthy baby.”
