This former Bachelor and Bachelorette star is a mom — again. Emily Maynard gave birth to her fourth child, a son, she announced on Instagram Monday. "...God is so good... my cup runneth over... {welcome New Baby Johnson to the world," she wrote next to a collection of super sweet photos. Maynard also revealed that she and her husband, Tyler Johnson, still haven't named their baby boy, but are looking for suggestions. "If anyone has any good boy names send them my way! We need help!}," she wrote.
As for Johnson, he is just as over the moon about their latest addition. Like Maynard, he shared a series of photos on Instagram and wrote, "So many emotions. 1) this woman is my everything. She is so extraordinary. I’m so blessed God gave her to me." Yeah, he loves her just a little bit.
His caption continued, "2) Ricki is still the queen. I️ love you my sweet angel. 3) Johnson boys- LETS GO!! 4) I️ feel very overwhelmed at God’s blessings. I️ am a sinner saved by grace and even though I’m so broken God says 'I️ love you'. Thank you Jesus! 1 John 4:19 #4" It's safe to say that Johnson adores his now family of six — a lot.
Even though they haven't selected a name yet, they will no doubt come up with something unique, as proven in the names of their other children. They are proud parents to Ricki, 12, (Maynard's daughter is from a previous relationship with her former fiancé Ricky Hendrick, who tragically died in a plane crash in October 2004), Jennings Tyler, 2, and Gibson Kyle, 1. They'll most likely end up choosing something meaningful. As Maynard told People in December 2016, "Gibson is my middle name and Kyle is Tyler’s family name." Obviously, Ricki is named after Maynard's late fiancé. As for Jennings, Maynard revealed on her blog in October 2015 that Jennings is her grandfather's name and Tyler is, obviously, after Johnson.
Based on the comments on Maynard's Instagram announcing her son's birth, there are a lot of name suggestions. Some of them include, Camden, Hudson, Bishop, Crew, Campbell, Noah, Tucker, and Oliver, among many others. Now let's see if they end up choosing any of those proposed on social media.
On Sunday, Nov. 12, Maynard also posted an Instagram featuring a bottle of rosé and what appeared to be some kind of sweet roll. Next to it, she wrote, "hospital camp out." Now that is how you prepare for labor.
In August, they announced they were expecting another baby after Johnson shared a video of Maynard pregnant. She also shared the same video and captioned it, "Way too many tacos at lunch. ---Seriously though, as scared as I am to have 3 under 3, I'm so grateful God picked me to be the mommy to my kids and we can't wait for number 4 to get here!" The former reality star also revealed at the time that they were waiting to find out their baby's gender.
Also while chatting with People in December 2016 (before she revealed her fourth pregnancy), Maynard opened up about the possibility of expanding their family. "I definitely think we’ll have at least one more. [My husband Tyler Johnson] wants two more." Who knows if they'll have any more, but they certainly have a full house.
Here's hoping they reveal their newest son's name soon. Though, it could take a bit, especially based on how much of a struggle it was for Maynard and Johnson to name Jennings. "Tyler and I couldn’t agree on baby names to save our lives," she dished in her October 2015 blog post about their first boy's name. "He wanted a nice, traditional name from the bible and I wanted something different that no one else had." She even said that when it came time to sign the birth certificate they still hadn't selected a name, but they came to an agreement in the end.
Who knows if that will happen this time around, but there's no doubt they will select a memorable and significant moniker for their little guy.
