Billy Martin says everything froze the moment he found out his wife was pregnant

Good Charlotte guitarist Billy Martin says everything froze the moment he found out his wife was pregnant with their first child, due in late January. "We bought a pregnancy test without even stressing or sweating," says Martin, who married hairstylist Linzi on March 1, their eight-year dating anniversary. "She went to take it, I sat down at my desk, and two minutes later she came out and said, 'I'm pregnant!' "All the sound in the world stopped for a minute. I was shocked – but excited," says Martin, 27, who announced the news on his blog last week. He and Linzi, 25, are planning an Alice's Adventures In Wonderland-themed nursery that they'll customize once they find out the baby's gender. "If it's a girl, maybe more Alice-based, and if it's a boy, more Mad Hatter and Cheshire Cat," says Martin, who is drawing inspiration from Disney's Alice, vintage Lewis Carroll book illustrations, and the upcoming Tim Burton-helmed Alice film."We're not going to do anything dark and spooky that's going to scare the baby," says Martin with a laugh. "We want a lighter, happier version." The guitarist – an accomplished painter and illustrator with his own T-shirt line, Level 27 – will also create some original artwork for his baby. source
