Joanna Gaines Talks About The Bedtime Ritual Her Son Insists On Going Through Each Night
Having already raised four children out of nappies, Joanna Gaines must’ve thought she knew every bedtime ritual going. But her fifth child with fellow HGTV regular Chip Gaines proved that kids are nothing if not unpredictable. Be prepared for your heart to melt when you find out what the baby of the family, Crew, insists on doing before going to sleep.
Mom of five
Joanna Gaines first became a mom in 2005 with the birth of son Drake. A year later, she and husband Chip welcomed a daughter, Ella Rose. They added to their family unit with Duke in 2008 and it appeared to have been completed two years on with the arrival of Emmie Kay. But nearly a decade later another bundle of joy came into the world.
So foggy
Yes, in 2018 Joanna and Chip became parents for a fifth time with the arrival of son Crew. During a chat with People magazine shortly before the birth, Joanna revealed that she’d be able to approach motherhood differently this time around. She explained, “I feel like those years when the kids were all young, it was so foggy.”
Tag-team wrestling
“At one point I had four kids four and under, and I just remember it was like tag-team wrestling,” Joanna continued. “Chip and I were trying to figure out how to do this with four kids so young. I look at this as another opportunity to really embrace this moment with a newborn.” And this newborn would eventually do something that none of the other Gaineses had done when it came to bedtime.
Fixer Upper
Of course, long before she became a mom of five, Joanna was best-known for her ability to give rundown homes a new lease of life. In 2013 she and husband were handed their own series on the HGTV Network. Fixer Upper, which saw the couple flip houses, subsequently became one of the most popular renovation shows on TV.
