Keith Urban 'Very Excited' About Impending Birth

Keith Urban has admitted he’s “very excited” about the impending birth of his first child with Nicole Kidman.

The country music star says the reality of becoming a father hit him after the happy couple learned the baby’s gender - but isn’t prepared to share the happy news with us just yet.

He tells People.com, “I'm not saying! I'm glad we found out though, because it brought it home, you know what I'm saying. I'm very excited about it.”

Pictures today of the couple shopping for baby books near their Nashville home confirm Urban's comments.

An eyewitness tells the Mail On Sunday, "They looked so happy and so cute together. They were both pointing at the books and sharing a laugh about what they were doing.

"You can tell they are thrilled at being pregnant and loving every minute of it."
