Cobie Smulders has met her daughter! The How I Met Your Mother actress and her fiancé, actor Taran Killam, are the proud parents of a baby girl, PEOPLE has learned. Shaelyn Cado Killam arrived on Saturday, May 16th.

While attending an event in January with her co-stars — including fellow pregnant pal Alyson Hannigan — Cobie joked that the pair’s topics of conversation were generally focused on baby! “You really can’t help it, because you have babies on the brain, and you can’t help but talk about it a lot,” she laughed. “From creams, doctors, birth methods, dilation … You talk about everything.”

Fortunately, she had Alyson — who welcomed daughter Satyana in March — to confide in, with the two often swapping stories on set. “It’s nice because we can just talk about babies all day long, and not be like, ‘Okay, this person has to be sick of this,’ because you know that she’s just as excited as I am,” noted Alyson.

Shaelyn is the first child for Cobie and Taran, both 27, who were engaged in January. The pregnancy was announced last November.

Everything Is Fine is an understatement for Josh Turner! The country crooner and his wife Jennifer became parents for the second time when they welcomed a baby boy — Colby Lynch Turner — on Friday, June 26th, a rep for the singer confirms to PEOPLE.

“I’m just a proud daddy right now,” says Josh. As for the couple’s first child, Hampton Otis, 2 ½, the toddler is happily stepping into his new role.

“Hampton loves being a big brother and we’re just one big happy family.”

With Josh, 31, spending the last few weeks recording his fourth album, all involved were hoping baby Colby would delay his big debut until the loose ends were tied. “My producer, Frank Rogers, jokingly told Jennifer that she needed to wait until we finished my record before she had the baby,” laughs Josh.

Their wishes were granted; The newest addition to the family arrived only hours after Josh left the studio. “We finished the album last Thursday at 6:00 p.m. After I got home, Jennifer went into labor and we were at the hospital by 10:30 that night. Now that’s what I call perfect timing.”

The couple, who have been married since 2003, announced the pregnancy in February.
