Carrie Underwood’s husband is upping his game…
Morgan Evans is ready to release his first album… 

Carrie Underwood's husband, Mike Fisher, has stepped up his game with her second pregnancy. 
Sources say he's being extra attentive, making sure she's happy by taking her out to dinners a couple of times a week, rubbing her feet and reading parenting books to ensure he's ready to handle two kids in the house. 
Carrie and Mike don't know yet if they're having a boy or a girl. She said recently, “I don’t know what it is. You’ve got a 50 percent chance you’re correct. I have no idea.”

Morgan Evans will release his first full-length album, Things That We Drink To, on October 12th. 
He says, "It’s my story. It’s leaving behind everything and everyone you know to chase down a country music dream on the other side of the world. It’s losing someone and finding the strength to keep your head up and make them proud. It’s meeting a girl, falling hopelessly and marrying the love of your life. It’s the ‘Things That We Drink To’.” 
Of course, the girl he fell in love with and married is Kelsea Ballerini, who joins him for a duet called "Dance With Me" on the album.
