In case you missed the news last week, Morning Show Host Jill Riley had an exciting surprise to share. Here is a snippet from her announcement:

Remember a few years ago, back in 2013, when David Bowie dropped the news that he was releasing a new record (The Next Day)? It was a totally awesome surprise and everyone was pretty stoked.

Well, I wouldn't say this is on the level of a surprise David Bowie album, but I have my own little surprise news to share with you guys. My husband and I have been working on our own little secret collaboration project. It's been months in the making and we're finally ready to announce our own very special release. A baby boy!

We want to send a special congratulations out to Jill via song today. Send us your suggestions for songs that have the word "baby" in the title, or that prominently feature "baby" in the lyrics.
