Despite the wedding still being months away, Scotty McCreery is already a part of the Dugal family. The country singer popped the question to longtime girlfriend Gabi Dugal last fall and recently released a song sharing their engagement story titled “This Is It.”
One of Scotty’s favorite parts about joining forces with the Dugals is that his family is growing. In fact, Gabi’s sister is pregnant and due in only a matter of days. In the picture below, Scotty and Gabi pretended to make their stomachs pop to mimic Gabi’s sister. Don’t worry, they were asked to look pregnant, “we were all just poking fun at the fact that Paige had a big ol’ belly,” Scotty said. “She wanted us all to poke our bellies out. That’s all that was. Her sister. Not us!”
“This is the first baby in the family, “Scotty continues. “[Gabi] will be an aunt after this, and I’ll be Uncle Scoot in a couple months.” Uncle Scoot? That’s right! “I want to be Uncle Scooter. That’s what I’m gonna go by.”
How cute is that? He already knows what he wants to be called by his future nieces and nephews. Also, Uncle Scoot is not scared of being a good influence on the kids, “I think it’s going to be good training. I think I’m going to be a cool uncle, if I had to guess. I think my nephew would love hanging out with me. I’d throw the ball with play a little golf, teach him all the man things. Eric will cover all that mainly, I’m sure. I think it’d be fun.”
The baby is due on March 16th, the same day Scotty McCreery will be dropping his forthcoming album, Seasons Change. Over the weekend, McCreery dropped another single from the album, “This Is It.” The track takes listeners and fans step by step through the process leading up to Scotty and Gabi’s engagement!

“This Is It” Lyrics
Way up in the mountains, four thousand feet high
There’s a trail through the trees to a cliff where Carolina meets the sky
Oh, and there’s a view I just can’t describe
No, I’m not there yet, just a few more steps, baby wait
Okay, you can open your eyes
This is it, this is now, this is what I’ve been talking about
Looking out, can’t you see forever
Take my hand, just take it in
This is a moment we won’t forget
On top of the world, here, together
If there ever was a time for a perfect kiss, this is it
Girl I know that you’ve been waiting and talking to your friends
Wondering if and wondering where and wondering when
Well I’ve been waiting too, holding on to this ring
For the right words to say, for the right time and place, for me to get on one knee
This is it, this is now, this is what I’ve been talking about
Looking out, can’t you see forever
Take my hand, just take it in
This is a moment we won’t forget
On top of the world here together
If there ever was a time for a perfect kiss, well this is it
This is it
Now you’re walking down the aisle
And I can’t help but smile
This is it, this is now, it’s what I’ve been talking about
Looking out, I can see forever
So take my hand, just take it in
This is a moment we won’t forget
On top of the world, here, together
Surrounded by our family and our friends
If there ever was a time for a perfect kiss
This is it
