'Bachelorette' Emily Maynard Johnson Is a Mom for the Sixth Time, Opens Up About Welcoming Baby With Down Syndrome
And his name is…Jones West Johnson!
“SURPRISE! On August 31st, Tyler and I welcomed our sweet son, Jones West Johnson, into the world,” she wrote.
“During my surgery we learned that he was born with Down Syndrome, and while it was certainly a surprise, we have so much peace in God’s perfect plan and know Jones is going to be a blessing to our family. He was in the NICU for a little over a month and is thankfully now home in all the chaos and we couldn’t love him more. Thank you to everyone at @levinechildrens for all that you did for our family. Im so happy to finally share the news and can share all the pictures with you guys! He’s absolutely the cherry on top! 🍒”
The couple also have Ricki, 17, Jennings, 7, Gibson, 6, Gatlin, 5 and Nola Belle, 2.
“I am so grateful. But I’m still on my journey of processing everything. And I have to trust that it will all turn out alright,” she told People.
“He’s the easiest baby and he’s just been our biggest blessing. I’m still learning about Down syndrome, but I’m trying to also just experience Jones as Jones and not as different than any of the other kids.”
Congratulations to the happy family!
