Michael Clifford is expecting his first baby with his wife Crystal Leigh.

The 27-year-old 5 Seconds of Summer guitarist confirmed the happy news to People Magazine. “I’m filled with excitement and also with nerves,” Clifford told the magazine. “I’ve been a dog dad for a long time, so I think I’m ready for a small human to take care of and communicate with conversationally after eight years of one-sided dog convos!”

“I’m over the moon!!” Leigh added. “Completely overflowing with joy, I have never been this happy in my entire life. I’d like to think it’s the baby’s good vibes and energy radiating through me, but it’s probably just the hormones. We have friends who have had incredibly difficult pregnancies, so I was prepared for the worst. But so far, it’s actually been pretty great and I feel very fortunate and high with happiness!!”

“We did have a small complication in the beginning, a subchorionic hematoma. It caused a lot of bleeding, which was absolutely terrifying. We raced to the doctor on Easter when it happened, but thankfully our baby was OK,” she told the magazine.

Leigh was put on complete rest and lack of stress after the pregnancy scare. “The one other thing that’s been consistently torturous for me throughout though has been sleeping! I’m a total insomniac now, I wake up 10-15 times throughout the night, no joke,” she said. “Michael has been such an incredible partner through it all though, I really do feel like we are pregnant together.”
