‘Real Housewives of Orange County’ star Meghan King Edmonds, husband Jim welcome baby Aspen

Orange -

Mrs. Carter: Meghan King Edmonds now has even more to be thankful for this weekend!

In a new post on Instagram (see below), the “Real Housewives of Orange County” star and her husband, former baseball player Jim Edmonds, confirmed that they are now parents to a baby girl named Aspen who was born on Thanksgiving Day. The child seems to be happy and healthy, and now the two of them are going to have a rather lovely connection to this holiday that they are hopefully going to have a chance to carry with them for roughly the majority of the rest of their lives.

This great news is effectively the culmination of what was a very eventful 2016 for Meghan, given that for much of the season of the Bravo series, she was doing what she could to get pregnant, including going to IVF treatments (sometimes alone due to Jim’s schedule) and relying on her friends and family for support. Eventually it all worked out for her, and she was able to celebrate the pregnancy near the end of the season and discuss it more during the reunion show.

While we don’t know what the future holds just yet for the franchise, we imagine that down the road, we’re going to have a chance to hear a little bit more of her journey as a mother, and how she is getting used to such a big change in her life. For now, massive congratulations are almost certainly in order!

Our perfect Aspen King Edmonds made her grand entrance on Thanksgiving Day, November 24, 2016, 6lbs 11oz. From the hours leading up to the birth I had the most incredible husband, he didn’t leave my side. I could not have labored naturally without him and my doula. Jimmy was a constant source of support through every contraction, each blood-curdling scream and each time I told him I thought I was dying and couldn’t do it anymore. He ran baths, helped me walk, helped me breathe, held my hands, essentially endured the burden of my pain for all 22 hours. I am so proud and impressed of the team we made to welcome Aspen, our bond is more unshakable than I ever imagined. We have a healthy, strong happy baby who loves breastfeeding and already holding her head up! I feel like I worked out for a week straight and my throat hurts from yelling but I survived unscathed without so much as a tiny tear and now I feel like the strongest warrior on the planet (and Jimmy thinks so too) her birthdate 11/24/16 added up equals her daddy’s baseball number 15 :) 1+1+2+4+1+6=15 #secondsold #needlefree #naturalbirth #22hoursoflabor #aspenkingedmonds #thanksgivingbaby #inlove #cantstopstaring #birthplanwentasplanned #fullheadofblackhair #warriorbaby ——————– We are deliriously in love with our perfect Aspen ??
