Originally posted November 12th: It’s baby #4 for Josh Gracin and wife Ann Marie! Daughter Isabella Sophia Gracin arrived this afternoon, Wednesday November 12th, in Nashville, Tenn. She was 8 lbs., 15 oz and 20 ½ inches long.

Isabella joins older siblings Briana Marie, 6 ½, Landon Joshua, 3, and Gabriella Ann, 23 months. The country star and American Idol alum and his wife had announced the pregnancy in June. Josh, 28, tells PEOPLE,

"She’s the biggest of all our babies, outweighs the others by a poundand a half and is an inch longer than our other three at birth. With three girls and one boy, I’m afraid our son Landonis going to suffer the same fate as me growing up with four sisters.He’s going to have to learn to hold his own. But everyone is doing welland it’s amazing to have a new member in the family."

Ann Marie and Josh tied the knot in 2001.

Wow, I thought labors were supposed to get shorter the more babies you had! Josh did an interview late Monday morning and said they were expecting the baby any minute. He said they were timing contractions before he left and they were twelve minutes apart. Glad mom and baby are healthy, and she’s got a very pretty name.

From that quote it seems as though Landon may not be getting any more siblings to even the score

Congrats to them!

And they pick such nice names for their children. Normal, but beautiful names. =)

Congratulations to the Gracin family!

Isabella Sophia is a such a lovely, classy, feminine name name. I must admit, though, that two ‘ella’ names for sisters is a bit much for my taste.

- Jennifer on November 13th, 2008

YAY!! Love him. I have 4 girls and 1 boy and my son handles it fine. He’s a great big brother and total sweetheart. I’m sure Landon will do fine.

Have these people NEVER heard of birth control? What are they trying to do – start their own 3rd world country? Get with the times….
