When Amy Earnhardt told Dale Jr. she’s pregnant with their second child, her husband was delightfully stunned (and she captured it on video for the rest of us to enjoy). So when the time came for the couple to learn if they’re having a boy or girl, he wanted to return the favor.

Dale Jr. and Amy have not mentioned a due date publicly yet. However, Amy wrote on Instagram that the video of her telling him that she’s pregnant was a few weeks old, so if we had to guess, we’d say the newest Earnhardt will be born around October.
