"I'm a little nervous. You got a lot of stuff to do. I got a lot on my plate that I don't even realize is on there yet. I'm uncovering things every day; I'm buying all kind of clothes I didn't know existed," the artist explained, joking that he hopes to find his favorite style of Columbia shirts in newborn size.

Luke and Nicole have started putting together a nursery for the arrival, with Luke admitting he had never heard of a bassinet.

He's also reached out to friends for advice with the question, "What do I need to be doing right now?"

"I realized the baby doesn't need me at all. I'm just there to clean stuff, I think, is kind of the idea. When it comes out, it's like, 'Why are you mouth breathing all over me? I don't need you to be around,'" he joked. "We're excited."
