In case you haven’t heard the news …
Our miracle baby is here!
We are so thrilled to announce the arrival of our baby boy, Skyler King! He was born at 6:53am on Thursday, March 15th and has completely stolen our hearts.
Our little one surprised us all by coming into the world two weeks early and measured in at 6 pounds 11 ounces and 19 inches long.
We spent a total of three nights in the hospital and have been home adjusting to our new lives as parents since Saturday afternoon. (Happy St. Patrick’s Day to us!)
I will be playing catch up over the next few weeks, but will be sharing the full birth story as well as backing up and covering the last few weeks of pregnancy soon! For now, know that we are doing great and the fur kids have already accepted Sky as one of their own in the wolf pack.
We can’t get enough snuggles around here!
As you probably already know, this bundle of joy has been a long time coming. After years of waiting for news of him/her in my belly, we had also been waiting to find out the baby’s gender! We had the name Skyler picked out for a boy and Skylar picked out for a girl, and the middle name King has been passed down for generations and dates all the way back to Scott’s great-great-grandmother’s maiden name!
Thank you all for your sweet messages, emails, and well wishes on LIL social pages. I cannot wait to share the experience of becoming a mother with you, and your support throughout our entire journey into becoming parents has been incredible.
We love you so much!

Skyler did great walking into KINDERGARTEN with a big smile on his face this morning. I, however, was a bit of a mess on our walk home. 🥹
It’s wild how fast these 5 years with him have gone … 7 since we moved to NYC and into our apartment, dreaming of the day our kids would someday go to the *awesome* school right down our block. 🏫
That day is today, and I still don’t believe it — feeling allll of the emotions and thanking God for placing us here and for being able to trust His timing through the journey. 🫶🏼 #hbshinnyc
SO proud of you, SK - you are going to rock your first year at your “big boy school” - WE LOVE YOU !! 🩵👑](https://lifeinleggings.com/wp-content/plugins/instagram-feed/img/placeholder.png)
Congrats! I have a boy and a girl. In your next post please share what was going through your head when you found out he was a boy. Did you suspect anything all along? Anything additional to add about your thoughts on him?!
Hi Nikki! Thank you for leaving your questions! I’m just starting to go back and read these – it’s been a busy few weeks with him! Ha. I will be sure to answer everything soon. In the mean time, EVERYONE thought we were having a boy so I started to believe it! 😉
So much love and congratulations to you, Scott, the entire fam! Welcome to the world Skyler King! 🙂 Can’t wait to hear more, Heather! I hope you are resting and recovering as best as you can! 🙂
