In Essay, Joanna Gaines Says Surprise Pregnancy At 40 Was 'A Gift' | TODAY
This couple really deserve success and happiness. God bless
I love her so much! Joanna is such a role model ❤
When watching other HDTV shows, I noticed that they follow what Chip and Jo have already done! So, you, Chip and Jo are the front-runners!!!!
I had my miracle at 44. I was told I would never have children. But God knew I was ready and I love every minute. I’m a little more tired than the younger mom’s, but I am also more stable and completely focused on my son. It does change your outlook on what is important, and my son and family are the most important things in my life. I wouldn’t change being an older mom for anything.....
I will miss them greatly! I so admire Joanna and Chip and their Christian values! May God be always fitst priority, then family then work! Best wishes from one of your greatest fans!!!
Such a beautiful family

Chip and Joanna Gaines are awesome parents. They just get it and do it right. God bless each and every one of them as the move forward with their newest addition to their family, that sweet baby Crew.
fixer upper is an awesome show and I wish they had one here in Australia..Chip and JoJo are such a beautiful couple..I love them...and their kids are so good ..they help mum out a lot.
Congratulations to her and her family.
Congratulations..you were really my favourite couple on HGTV..there is not another one like Chip..Jo he would keep your heart merry.
So glad you had another beautiful baby boy he is gorgeous. Nice to see you have settled down.. would love to hear from you one day I am 72 and watch your shows in Australia.🧸.
I just love these people and I love all that they do!!!!
Such a beautiful family! Love them all ❤️ God Bless 🙏🏼
40 is NOT out of the ordinary by any means today.
ns2110theonly yes your right but for her it is
Kiersten Kelly but it isn’t for anyone.. bodies are bodies ... maybe you meant emotionally? Because physically it’s a non-issue these days (for anyone who is already historically fertile, that is)
ns2110theonly yes that's what I meant
Kiersten Kelly ahhh ... makes sense now ...
It never has been out of the ordinary. My grandmother who is 98 had a child at 40. I had one at 42. People generations ago did so as well. Advanced Maternal Age is what doctors call women over age 35.
I'm brazilian. My mom loved Fixer upper and Gaines family. God bless! Congratulations!
I had my second child, a healthy, beautiful daughter 👼🏻❤️ @ 39 yrs old and her brother, my son is 32 yrs old , now, they are 16 yrs apart!!!! Unfortunately we lost 3 between them 😔, But I am So Blessed 🙏 I always ask her “what took you so long to get here?” ❤️😂 She just turned 16 years old & @ 55, I’m happy to say, I’m keeping up with her 😂😂😂🙏❤️
My aunt had her second child at 39 yrs old as well during that time she was already a grandmother of one herself now that lil baby is 21 yrs old just graduated college and is at john hopkins for grad school and my aunt is 60 yrs old with a 44 yr old son and 21 yr old daughter and 28 yr old grandson and 20 yr old grand daughter 😁
God bless them thank you for all they have done
I just love them!
Awww how beautiful!!! I love this show.
It's just great to see how the two old houses are remodeling. Fantastic greetings from Germany to you both
As little kids, we also been thru this with my mom & dad ! 5 kids & then mom had surprise pregnancy with our youngest brother. I remember they sat with us & told us about it. My siblings were thrilled but I was angry& in tears 😁 All I was thinking about is 6 kids is too much! But since day one, he was my best gift ❤
Ein tolles Paar ich mag sie beide sehr gerne schaue jede Sendung von dennen
They are such a beautiful couple loved watching their Fixer upper show, Baby number 5 was a gift from God for 2 beautiful loving parents God Bless them both and children
Beautiful family.
Siete una famiglia stupenda e bellissima spero che non vi lasciate mai tu e cip siete una coppia stupenda

Such a cute family!!! And I love her attitude about an unplanned pregnancy!
Congratulations lovely joanna 😍😍👌👌👌🎂🎂🎂
Lovely couple !🥰
Que familia tan hermosa, y eso lo reflejamos en nuestro trabajo.FELICIDADES
Congratulations Joanna on your new 👶 baby be blessed you and your 👪 family
Congratulations to the Gaines' newest family member!!! What a blessing for sure. My son's were 9 1/2 years apart and I was concerned they wouldn't really know each other or have much in common. Wow was I in for a surprise LOLOL When my oldest was 28 years old he actually mentored and guided his 18 year old brother with college and work. The youngest son would go to his older brother before going to his dad what a hoot LOLOL. They are still close today at ewwww 50 years young and 40 years young. Where did the time fly???
I was 41 when I had my younger daughter. She is now 29 years old. I did not think of myself as an "older" mom.
I know right, I’m 41 too and I look and feel young and if I was married to a great man, I would so have another baby...And I have an 18 year old daughter and a 15 year old son.
I love her show on tv. I wish the tv show come back on
love this couple
Congratulazioni , siete fantastici 👍🤝😘
I loved fixer upper!!☺
I just want to say congratulations again on the both of you on having your baby boy
Amo suas decorações
Every great story has one great ending. The end of one chapter leading into another great chapter. What a legacy for the children!
that baby is HUGE!
Joanne is awesome
Gahh I love them so much😊 this makes me so happy! I teared up
I tried to explain this to a woman who bragged about her youth. I think being a woman is a blessing. The possibilities for her are endless. Being humble brings the best blessings. And there are no rules about being a mother or not being one. You know when that moment happens what you will do and how you will expect others to respect your decision.
Me encanta la familia de ellos.
Congratulations
Me encantan, los veo desde Chile. Felucidades por su nuevo hijo.
I had my last child at 42. I'm now 51. Advanced Maternal Age for women over age 35 is what St. Jo's hospital in MD calls their over 35 patients. I do think she needs to come back in a year and tell the truth about how tough it is to raise a child as opposed to having then younger...unless she had a ton of help.
My mom had a surprise pregnancy at 40 with me and at 42 with my brother after having my bigger siblings 18 and 16 years before
Joanna, join the club! I had TWIN boys at 40 years old!
Blessings! We love the Gaines!
I love chip and Joanna Gaines
Why is everyone making such a big deal of this and acting like she’s so old to have a baby? This is very common.
Deus abençoe está família linda🙏🙏
I had 12. The last at 41. I never heard the term geriatric pregnancy. Congratulations to the Gaines!
Hermosa familia me encantan
God bless Family
Yo los sigo siempre los programas es una pareja hermosa por favor pueden traducir en castellano muchas gracias
Sou fã desse casal vejo todos os programas até repetidos
Omg aí love
I love chip and joanna
Veo tus decoraciones aprendo mucho aunque mi apartamento es pequeño.felicidades tienes una hermosa familia. Bendiciones.
Me gusta mucho este programa ningún programa me gusta tanto como esta pareja es que son tan bellos y tienen una bonita relación esa alegría que es natural en ellos.
I am going to miss a lot their tv show. Maybe in the future they will reconsider to do it again 😔😥
The stare od Gaines is a marriage as they show exemplary!nice look!admire Joanna!he makes fantastic hause decorations!!envies talent and recipients!congatulates the new offspring!!
My mom had me when she was almost 40. It isn't that late really.
Oh nice CONGRADULATIONS kids.
Me gustaria que pudieran traducir al español.Gracias. Siempre los miro a la familia que contruye.
Félicitations
Nice surprise 😊
40 is old to have a baby but im sure this one will be especially blessed.
Lol my wife was also surprised at 42 with a "geriatric" pregnancy. People errantly think that automatically means high risk. Nope! In fact she had NO issues whatsoever, and had a natural and unmedicated delivery. Hooray for Midwives and Douglas :)
lucky you
Every. Single. Woman. Is. Different! Good for you wife but some women miscarry, and the risk of Down Syndrome rises the older the mother is. Please take several seats. I hope you didn't risk your wife and baby's life by not having an actual MEDICAL DOCTOR present!
Felicitates por el Nuevo nino
I am so sad I miss the show
My grandma had my mom at 45.
that's silly. I was 37 and I still feel young and fertile at forty two. my mother had me in her 40s. I'd hardly call us geriatric lol. if anything we are delayed youth sprouting.
Joanna would say, “god said, ‘Joanna, it’s time to have another baby. Love u, Jo, god.’ “
I had my girls when I was 19, 23, and 29. I started having baby fever again around 34 and now I’m 41. It’s difficult to accept that unless God provides a miracle, I can never have another baby (tubes are tied). Because I honestly still feel so young. Sometimes I wish I hadn’t tied my tubes.
Stephanie Bogart On the positive side.. your older daughters are getting to an age where they will be having kids before too long. Just wait, you'll have grandkids before you know it, that should fulfill your want for a new baby.
A Edwards yes! So true! My oldest is engaged. I think about grandbabies all the time 😂😅
@@adeho789 That's what I tell my daughter. My son is 8 yrs older than her. She wants a younger sibling, so I told her to give her brother another 6-10 yrs & she'll have a neice or nephew. I'll be 42 soon....I'm sooo done (17 & 9)
I dind't even know the show was ending... :(((((
The older the mother the more risk for complications with both the fetus and the pregnancy. I think miracle is an over used word but the fact that it went smoothly and Crew is healthy is pretty spectacular at 40.
❤️
His name is Crew, not Crews.......
Laura Chinn ya
Thank you. I noticed that too.
shes a fake fan! smh
I believe the reporter was simply reading a quote about how the big kids were anticipating baby "Crew's" arrival, as in HIS arrival.
Laura Chinn thank you! That keeps getting under my skin!!
My mom.had my brother when she was 42
Oh so FIXER UPPER finished we will have re runs in Australia
You have so many other ventures to keep yoj busy id love to be in Waco you all ooz love n care❤🌹🌟
And baby Crew's is 5mths congrats precious
You are a Fabulously wonderful family Joanna n Chip love n happiness always....😊🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟😘🌿
