It's a Boy!

Post by Ashley Gibson »

Since I'd talked about my pregnancy and the issues I was having with it in reducing my stable and leasing out a bunch of mares last year, I figured it was only fair that I share the good news that the baby has (finally) arrived.

We chose not to find out the gender of the baby prior to birth with this baby. If you have the patience I highly recommend it, it's so amazing to find out in an already special moment AND it drives people NUTS not knowing what you're having.

On March 4, 2021 we welcomed Knox Allen to our family. He was a very healthy 8lb 1oz at 37 weeks even. He'd have been a BIG boy at term. He was 20" long. He's pretty laid back (and actually lets us get a decent amount of sleep for people who have a newborn). He has an EXTREMELY proud big sister, who tries to be SUPER helpful, by trying to rock him in his swing and give him a pacifier. If you saw the side by side pictures of him and London at birth, you'd think they were the same baby, except he has hair.
