The newest addition to the family will join his two older brothers and two older sisters on the family’s farm in Texas, where parents Chip and Jo have continued to stay busy with new projects ever since wrapping the final season of their hit HGTV show. But the most exciting project of all for the Gainses has been preparing for their new baby’s arrival. data-instgrm-captioned data-instgrm-version=”4″ style=” background:#FFF; border:0; border-radius:3px; box-shadow:0 0 1px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.5),0 1px 10px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.15); margin: 1px; max-width:658px; padding:0; width:99.375%; width:-webkit-calc(100% – 2px); width:calc(100% – 2px);”> “The best thing about all of this is the excitement that my kids have shown for their new baby brother,” mama Jo previously said of her four older children, Drake, Duke, Ella Rose and Emmie Kay. “They love my growing belly (and boy is it growing), and they cannot wait to meet him. I truly believe this baby is a gift from God for our family in this season.” While awaiting her son’s arrival, Jo kept busy by developing a line of children’s furniture for Magnolia Kids as well as collaborating on a children’s clothing line—so even though our nurseries may not be quite as stylish as baby Gaines’ surely is, we can get pretty close. But after a few busy, busy years of work, Chip and Jo have made no secret of the fact they plan to slow it down and soak in these special moments with their baby boy. “With our little ones getting bigger, we had this gut feeling that it was time to step back and focus on them and our businesses here in Waco, Texas,” Jo previously said. “And although that’s why we thought we decided to step away from the show, we now realize with this little one on the way that there was a bigger plan in place for us all along.” Congratulations to the whole Gaines family!
