The Backstreet Boys better get ready for diaper duty!

That's because BSB boy-bander AJ McLean and his wife Rochelle have welcomed their first child together, a baby girl named Ava Jaymes.

"Rochelle and I are thrilled to officially announce the birth of our baby monkee Ava Jaymes McLean," McLean writes in a letter posted on his website. "She arrived at 4:51 a.m. on Nov. 27th, weighing 7 pounds and 7 ounces. We are so in love with our bundle of joy and happy to have started our family now."

Both McLean and Rochelle have recently taken to Twitter to express their excitement for baby Ava's delivery. "Come on AVA!!!!" Rochelle posted. "It never takes mommy this long to get ready! Being punctual is a great quality to have!! Now, come out so we can see you!!"

"No baby yet, we're still waiting," McLean said in a video posted online the other day. "Ava's being a real stubborn little girl…just like her dad."

The 34-year-old singer and his makeup artist wife married last December.

Congrats, you two!
