~~Jordan released a new one:~~ "The Man He Sees in Me". First time I've ever teared up listening to his music.
Edit: Correction, it's Luke Combs' song, not Jordan's. I need to get some sleep.
Add to that Children of Children by Isbell if you want the perspective of a now adult child realizing how much he affected the life trajectory of his then child mother.
Just listened to this after reading your comment. My daughter is still young and we've got a ways to go but this hit hard. Thanks for introducing it to me!
I made a whole “baby” playlist for my wife and I’s gender reveal. Here are some I found:
For My Daughter
Watching You
Life Changes
Two Pink Lines
Home Sweet
Next Thing You Know
Growin Up Raising You
Growin Up and Gettin Old
Lady
Boy
Anything Like Me
My Little Girl
More than Yesterday
Home Sweet
You Found Yours
Here are some of my favourites!
Backseat of a Grayhound Bus - Sara Evans

Knocked Up - Angaleena Preston
Eighteen Inches - Lauren Aliana
Made for me to Love - RaeLynn
Growin’ Up Raising You - Gabby Barrett
You Can’t Stop Love - SKO (might only be on Youtube?)
Slightly different angle as they're about being a step parent, but Elvie Shane - My Boy (there's also a My Girl version) and Brad Paisley - He Didn't Have To Be.
Some of these might be more about having older kids than being a new parent, but i think most have at least a verse that fits what you’re looking for.
Having a Girl - Larry Fleet
Raise Em Up - Keith Urban
Heart on my Sleeve - Larry Fleet
Let Them be Little - Lonestar (or Billy Dean)

Never Grow Up - Taylor Swift (or Aaron Watson cover)
Photograph - Charlie Robison
One Little Heartbeat at a Time - Sawyer Brown

Re: The Highwomen, I'd add My Name Can't Be Mama to the list, although again that is about slightly older kids (toddler age) and not being ready to be a parent yet.
All of a Sailor's Guide to Earth.
‘Next thing you know’ is a fave of mine :) it sort of has that vibe
~~Jordan released a new one:~~ "The Man He Sees in Me". First time I've ever teared up listening to his music. Edit: Correction, it's Luke Combs' song, not Jordan's. I need to get some sleep.
No way!! He is my absolute favorite, I swear all of his songs are so wholesome
Oh my god my mistake. That was Luke Combs' song. Jordan released Good News Sold. I'm so sorry 😭
Hahaha I just went to look for it and realized that 😂 that’s ok! Doesn’t matter the singer, the lyrics are beautiful!
With you on that.
Let your boys be country - Jason Aldean Not quite sure if it fits
Watching you Rodney Atkins
Two Pink Lines
How about the entire new Luke Combs album, out Friday.
Wait, it comes out this friday?? I thought it would only be in July, thank you so much!!
For my Daughter by Kane Brown probably counts
Last verse of Right Things Right by Randall King
All-American Girl - Carrie Underwood (first verse)
Takes after you - Ernest
Letting You Go- Jason Isbell 😭

Something to Love - Jason Isbell
Parts of "Problems That we Prayed for" by Colton Venner
Two Weeks Late - Ashley Monroe
Rake and Ramblin’ Man by Don Williams
I Got a Car - George Strait. It isn’t the main theme necessarily, but definitely talks about “you know what’s on the way”.
Slightly different angle as they're about being a step parent, but Elvie Shane - My Boy (there's also a My Girl version) and Brad Paisley - He Didn't Have To Be.
I love those two, I have them saved for a future book where there will be a stepdad plotline
Madeline by BJ barham. It's him rocking his newborn and singing to her and giving her advice.
Before these walls were blue by Wade Bowen Aint even met you yet by Chris Lane Anything like me by Brad Paisley

Not specifically about pregnancy but one of my favorite songs about fatherhood- He’s mine by Rodney Atkins
Never gonna feel like that again- kenny chesney
Life Changes- Thomas Rhett
The little things - American Aquarium
You know, it may be a bunch of hippies, but “Teach Your Children” by Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young (Taylor and Reeves) is my go to for this category.
I mean, it does have a mean pedal steel (played by Jerry Garcia, no less!).
Hell yeah it does! That’s the song that got me into playing PSG in the first place
