Chip & Joanna Gaines welcome baby boy Crew Gaines a few weeks early
I’ve honestly never picked up on the fact that Chip and Joanna Gaines have used “E” names for their daughters and “D” names for their sons. I like that it wasn’t so obvious, and I like that they broke the pattern for their fifth child. Last year, Chip and Joanna announced that they were ending their wildly popular HGTV show Fixer Upper after the then-current season was finished filming. Many of us had a lot of theories as to why they were ending it, but it looks like it really was about their family, as Joanna announced her pregnancy a short time later.
Well, Joanna and Chip welcomed their fifth child on Saturday – a little boy named CREW. Crew Gaines. Crew joins big siblings Drake (13), Ella (11), Duke (9) and Emmie Kay (8). Joanna just turned 40 years old in April, and apparently baby Crew came two and a half weeks earlier than his due date. It sounds like Crew’s delivery was pretty easy, because they were up and posting photos pretty quickly. Joanna looks spent! Poor woman. As for the name “Crew” – I don’t like it that much, but hey, it’s not my baby. It sounds more like a nickname than someone’s official legal name, and it sounds like they really want this baby to be a jock. Of course, it’s a small mercy that they didn’t spell it the other way, with the umlaut: Crüe Gaines. That would have been funny.
And then there were 5.. The Gaines crew is now 1 stronger! 10 beautiful toes and 10 beautiful fingers all accounted for, and big momma is doing great! #blessedBeyondBelief
