Despite the fact that they have had some difficulties since welcoming Baker into their home, the Lanes are beaming with joy. Even though it has been a tough transition for them, the father admits that “it’s been an adjustment” to their new lifestyle.
It’s been a adjustment. It’s clear. Lane states that Dutton isn’t getting enough rest and that it has been a difficult adjustment.

Baker went to the emergency room earlier this month after a frightening trip. The couple found out that he had pneumonia. RSV.
Lane shared that “fortunately everyone is doing well now, but it was definitely scary few days there with them both,” Lane said. Baker ended up in the hospital, not breathing well but he is a fighter. He was able to get out of the hospital and is doing well.
They are still in a newborn haze and don’t know where the future will take them.
“I think that two is enough considering how tired we are right at the moment, but I also believe Lauren is wanting a girl,” he says.
“So I wouldn’t surprise if we don’t try for another one eventually, but it is something that I pray the good God above does not permit to happen anytime soon,” he laughs.
After a busy 2022 Lane is looking forward to a few slow months with his family and working on his songwriting skills before he gets back into gear.
“I am going to take some time off in early part of the year. I have been writing as much as I can. I will then go on tour and release a record. He says that this will be my third album and that he wants to do it right.
While he is eager to hear the next music, he enjoys every minute at home with Lauren.
He says, “I’m happy to spend a bit of time at my home since I’ve been traveling so much. Just lay low for a minute.”
He can always play golf until he’s ready for another album. “I love the camaraderie here and watching the LPGA Tour players play. I have never been able go on a tour since I have always been touring.
