Florida Georgia Line's Tyler Hubbard almost didn't make it to son Luca's birthday on Monday (8/19).

Hubbard and his wife Hayley welcomed their second child, son Luca Reed Hubbard, on August 19 at 3:40 a.m. in Nashville weighing in at 8 lbs., 11 oz. and measuring 20.5 inches long.

Hayley told People that the family had been awaiting Luca’s arrival, but hoped that he would come either before or after Florida Georgia Line's "Can't Say I Ain't Country" tour dates.

She said, “Our doula Lori said Tyler and I are too connected for Luca to not wait. The moment Tyler flew in from his last show of the weekend, the contractions started! Tyler was so helpful in the birthing process from start to finish, and I’m so glad he made it home in time.”

Tyler took to Instagram earlier today showing pictures of the birthing experience saying, 'Thanks @lbreggy for teaching me everything I know. Now offering my “DUDEla” services for those in need of a good shoulder to lay on during contractions, back rubs, and a good flashlight for when the head starts showing. Please contact my agent for booking :) thanks @katiekauss for capturing these amazing moments."
