Patrick Fabian and wife Mandy Steckelberg already have big love for the baby on the way, their first child together.

Well, they better, because Steckelberg is just about ready to pop!

"The baby is due Sept. 14," Fabian, Barb's brother-in-law on Big Love and a skeptical priest in The Last Exorcism, gushes to E! News. "My wife and I are so excited, we're over the moon."

And they're not making us wait for a name, either.

"We are going to name her Abbey Ray after Abbey Road in London," Fabian says. "We were over in London and I'm a Beatles freak so we went to visit Abbey Road. I looked over at my wife and she was so moved by the place she was in tears. We didn't even know she was pregnant at the time but I filed away the name ‘Abbey' in case we ever had a girl.  A few weeks later my wife's friend called saying she had a dream Mandy was pregnant with a girl, and it was true."

Fabian and Steckelberg, a comedy writer, are taking no chances when it comes to educating the child on her namesake.

"Abbey's first concert was in utero at the Hollywood Bowl with Paul McCartney!" Fabian says. "We're going to put a guitar in her hand the minute she's born."

Well, we wish them lots of luck on their magical mystery tour.
