“What was life for him??? I can’t remember, ‘the first Bachelor education wrote the contestant via Instagram at the time. “So many of you said to me, ‘Seeing your child for the first time, it’s a feeling you can’t explain.’ You were all so right!”
After coming home later that week, Gates gushed about the process of becoming a mother for the first time. “Looking into Adam’s green eyes, knowing we were in this together [made me calm]. Many things could [sic] went wrong but God heard my prayers,” she wrote in a social media post in January 2022. “My sweet baby is healthy. I am very blessed! We are officially home as a family!”
Shortly after announcing her second pregnancy, the University of Arkansas native gave fans a peek inside her baby bump.
