The Gaines family may no longer be regular fixtures in our Tuesday night TV lineup, but that doesn't mean interest in the famous family has weaned a bit! In fact, fans have been following the Fixer Upper alums closely since Joanna announced she was pregnant with their fifth child earlier this year.
Fans followed closely, anticipating the arrival of the newest member of the Gaines clan. He must've felt the anticipation because baby Crew made his debut two and a half weeks early, happy and healthy.
Joanna and Chip weren't the only ones over the moon about their new addition. Drake, Ella, Duke, and Emmie Kay were all ecstatic to welcome the new addition to their family. “Every single time they see my belly they have to rub it,” Joanna told People during her pregnancy. “I think it’s sweet because they’re older now, and I can see them wanting to be a part of this. We’re all rallying around this baby, which I feel is a sweet gift to our family.”
The former Fixer Upper stars shared their big news with the world in January.
Crew joins siblings Drake, Ella, Duke, and Emmie Kay, who range in age from 13 to 8. His arrival was a big surprise to Chip and Joanna, who had already decided to enter the next chapter in their lives by saying goodbye to Fixer Upper after five seasons.
In preparation for the newest Gaines baby, family and friends celebrated with a bookish baby shower.
Chip was excited to share the news of Crew's arrival with their fans!
The anticipation reached a high for the family as it all started going down.
The day after Crew's arrival, Joanna shared some shots of the family anticipating and welcoming the baby boy.
Chip and Joanna may be old pros at this parenting thing, but the two look just as touched and mystified about becoming parents as first-timers.
Since the rest of the Gaines kids are older, you might expect them to play it cool, but they were all in on the excitement of the moment!
The first shot of mother and child always pulls at the heartstrings, and this shot of Joanna and Crew is no exception.
This intimate shot gives us a peek at the newborn and his proud mama.
Our next glimpse at the little guy shows us some teeny tiny feet, but he wasn't quite ready to debut his face.
This peaceful moment with Chip shows us some of his face, but the focus has largely been on the sweet tradition Joanna shared. "Chip started a tradition with Drake where he wore the hospital bracelet until it fell off… looks like the tradition lives on. #5"
While we don't get the clearest look at Crew, we get a look into a peaceful life on the Gaines farm — #familygoals for sure!
While Joanna has shared a number of sweet photos of baby Crew, Chip's photo is the first that really shows his full face. What a handsome little guy!
So who does Crew look like?
He's still a little young to tell, but fans are already pointing out similarities between Crew and his parents and siblings.
There's no question that the Gaines family remains dear to the hearts of many. As we follow their off-screen adventures, we'll be keeping an eye out for baby Crew!
