Breaking years of tradition, Crew is the couple’s first son who hasn’t been given a name that starts with the letter D.
Perhaps in an attempt to throw their fans off their decision to break with tradition, shortly after the coupleannounced they were expectinga fifth child, Chip asked a child named Gage to help him “think of a D-name” — presumably to match his older sons’ first initial.
Chip and Joanna recently opened up in aPEOPLE cover storyabout their expanding household, including how theysplit parenting duties.
Of diapering, she added, “We need to figure that one out again. I don’t even remember, but I do remember the blowouts and I’m like, ‘Oh my gosh!’ I’ve gotta get my stuff together. It’s coming!”
Joanna also shared that the couplemay not be done having kids just yet. “I joke with my friends that I’m going to be that 45-year-old who’s pregnant,” she revealed. “Chip is such a kid at heart and we both love a big family. I’m open to whatever. I’m just having fun with it.”
