Pop singer and former American Idol contestant Clay Aiken welcomed a son this morning. Here’s what he said on his blog about the birth of Parker Foster Aiken:

“Hello All…

I know it’s been a while. I’m sure you know, it’s been a full full summer. Sorry we haven’t spoken in so long. But, I’m sure you know… I hate putting the cart before the horse. Not my way to tempt fate. But I wanted to stop by, if only for a second, so you could be the first folks I tell…. HE’S HERE!

My dear friend, Jaymes, and I are so excited to announce the birth of Parker Foster Aiken (No hyphens. One first name. One middle name. One last name.)

Parker was born at a hospital in North Carolina just this morning at 8:08 AM. Wow… 8:08 ..08/08/08

Weighed in at 6 lbs 2 oz and measured 19 inches

The little man is healthy, happy, and as loud as his daddy. Mama Jaymes is doing quite well also.

The Aiken family, the Foster family, and the Parker family are all thrilled.

We’ll share more at some point in the future. Love to you all!

The baby’s mom is Clay’s good friend and producer 50 -year-old Jaymes Foster. The birth is believed to have taken place in Clay’s North Carolina home.
