Early in April, the world learned that Lauryn “Pumpkin” Shannon was pregnant with twins.
This was exciting, albeit overwhelming, news for her and her husband, Josh Efird.
Lauryn has been playing things close to the vest — unusually so, for an entire family of reality stars.
Now, it’s reported that Lauryn has given birth via C-section.
The Sun reports that Lauryn and Josh welcomed a baby girl and a baby boy on May 19.
Mama June Shannon’s latest grandchildren were born via C-section at a Georgia hospital.
The facility specializes in high-risk pregnancies.
Both of Lauryn’s babies are healthy, and were able to go home just a few days following their births.
She, too, recovered and went home — though we all know that C-section recoveries are lengthy and often painful.
Pumpkin’s baby daughter reportedly weighted 6 pounds, with her baby boy weighing 5 pounds and 4 ounces — just barely under the average healthy size.
Considering that they are twins, that sounds very healthy for both of them.
Given that they were born nearly two weeks ago, chances are that they are both now substantially heavier than they were at birth.
Gaining several ounces or even a pound a week is not out of the question for healthy, well-fed newborns, but different babies grow at their own pace.
Lauryn and Josh have never formally confirmed that they were expecting.
The news that broke in April came via report.
Neither of them have addressed the pregnancy in public, and neither have most of their families.
However, Mama June did touch on the topic — without confirming it.
June simply stated that her daughter needs another child “like she needs a hole in her head,” a reference to Lauryn and Josh having enough on their plate.
Lauryn is only 22 years old, but already has a 4-year-old, Ella, and a 10-month-old, Bentley.
June did acknowledge that Lauryn is a good parent, describing her kids as “spoiled like hell.”
We should of course keep in mind that June grew up in and spent most of her life in extreme poverty and abusive environments.
Lauryn’s children will never have to rely upon roadkill or ketchup-based spaghetti. In most ways, fame has been a true blessing to this family.
Of course, even if Lauryn and Josh were rich — and they are not — making the jump from two kids to four is a huge deal.
Significantly, they are now dealing with two newborns, a baby, and a preschool-aged child.
That is a lot of children, and one hopes that friends and family are helping out with childcare, housework, and anything else. It’s a lot.
Many families lean on grandparents for childcare when newborns need time and attention.
It’s unclear if Lauryn would trust June enough with something as precious and fragile as her children at the moment.
While the family has spent a lot of time and energy mending fences, June erased a lot of trust during her downward spiral … and also lost custody of Alana.
In the summer of last year, Lauryn “Pumpkin” Shannon welcomed Baby #2.
Being 22 years old and a mother of two is no easy feat, even with a reality TV income and the help of husband Joshua Efird.
Now, the Mama June: Road to Redemption is cooking up not one, but two new grandchildren for June.
That’s right, Lauryn is pregnant with twins.
Lauryn’s twins will be two new grandchildren for Mama June Shannon.
But the twins are also due in the month of June.
According to TMZ, Lauryn’s approximate due date is June 18.
Lauryn is about seven months along in her pregnancy.
She is expecting a girl and a boy — fraternal twins.
Lauryn and Joshua are already parents to 4-year-old Ella and to 9-month-old Bentley.
Lauryn has also significantly stepped up in recent years to provide love and support to none other than Alana “Honey Boo Boo” Thompson.
While Alana is her younger sister and not her child, Lauryn was her best option when June was no longer able to look after herself, let alone Alana.
In a house of rampant drug use, Alana was no longer safe, so she moved in with Lauryn.
Lauryn became her guardian.
Additionally, legal steps were taken to prevent June from accessing any of Alana’s money.
June burned through seven figures of money and lost her house, all to buy drugs during her downward spiral, but Alana’s money was made safe.
Having Alana and a small child in the house could not have been easy for anyone involved.
Finite space and a lot of stressors — including June’s downward spiral — had to make this difficult, no matter how much love everyone shared.
But considering alternatives, like the unthinkable idea of Alana living with Sugar Bear … it was the best call for everyone.
About one year ago, Lauryn sounded on the fence about a second child.
She already had Ella and a lot going on in her life.
But later that month, she announced that she was pregnant. In July, she gave birth to Bentley.
As many concerned fans have observed, Lauryn is young to be a parent at all.
She is about to be a mother of four, and first began her parenthood journey as a teenager.
Now she is adding twins to a household of two small children. It’s a recipe for chaos, not for sleep or having a life.
But we should all keep in mind that, within the Shannon family, Lauryn is hitting these milestones later in life, not earlier.
June had Anna when she was 14 years old, the age of an 8th grader — a true babies-having-babies situation.
This was just one part of the horrors and injustices that June faced during her life, and many of her children experienced the same.
June was able to escape that life only by, let’s face it, putting Alana through what no child should experience — child pageantry.
While most of us try to avoid watching children’s lives being ruined before our very eyes, Toddlers & Tiaras had a real viewership.
It was through that show that the Shannon-Thompson family was discovered, and Here Comes Honey Boo Boo was born.
Hopefully, Lauryn’s children can have an even better chance at life than Lauryn has had.
Mama June: Road to Redemption can help with that, so long as the show keeps running.
We will all be interested to follow Lauryn as her journey continues. Her household is about to go crazy.
Alana “Honey Boo Boo” Thompson is growing up really quickly! If the Teen Vogue photoshoot and in-depth profile wasn’t enough to make you see that — or her older sisters’ quick defense of Alana’s modeling work in that very same photoshoot — then this news should make your jaw drop!
