Parker McCollum’s Wife Hallie Ray Shares Update on Life With Newborn Rocker, Opens Up About ‘Dream’ Delivery

Hallie Ray, wife of Parker McCollum, is giving fans an update on how she and the couple’s second son, Rocker Tommy Light McCollum, are doing following his July 30 birth.

She hosted a Q&A on her Instagram stories where fans could write in any questions they had and she decided which ones to respond to. For starters, the mom of two assured her audience that she is doing “really great” and feeling “so blessed.”

When another follower asked, “How was your labor?” Hallie Ray confessed that while childbirth is “scary” for her, this experience was a “DREAM.” She expressed gratitude for how well everything went for her and the baby before offering a brief recap of her birth story.

“Doc wanted me to get induced around 39 weeks because of Rocker’s size and to reduce the risk of c section. Got induced at 39 weeks + 1 day starting at 3cm dilated. Started Pitocin around 7am, broke water around 12pm, got to 8cm & got epidural around 2pm, started pushing @ 4:45 & gave birth @ 4:56pm!”

After a full day of labor, she finally got to enjoy welcoming Rocker into the world. She went on to share that his name was originally an idea that the country star had mentioned awhile back and had remained on their list of potential names ever since. And his middle name, Tommy, was after Parker’s grandfather while Light is her maiden name.

The couple are already parents to their first son, Major, and on Saturday morning (Aug. 1) they announced the birth of their second child to the world. In a joint post on Instagram, the proud parents shared a carousel of family photos alongside a sweet caption. They revealed that Rocker made his debut on Thursday, July 30 weighing 8 lbs, 7 oz.

“THANK YOU JESUS for another healthy baby boy! we are so in love with our little fam! mom & dad x 2 here we gooooooo,” they wrote.

As for adjusting from one child to two, Hallie Ray says so far things it has felt “easier” to navigate the newborn stage, but she noted that she won’t really know what it’s like to have two young kids until she is handling them both on her own without the help of family members.

Luckily, it seems that so far, Major has also been adjusting well to becoming an older brother.

“Major is doing great! He’s interested but also distracted right now because we have family here helping us which has been so nice,” she added.

Parker McCollum took a few days to soak up time at home as a family of four, but he is slated to head back out on the road starting Thursday, August 6, kicking off a weekend of three back-to-back shows across Bridgeport, CT, Bethlehem, PA and Burgettstown, PA.
