So beautiful! Love how Mama B is at every birth and gets just as excited for the 26th grand child as the 1st.

[@Melissaduns]

I love how Mama B said Lydias mom gets first look. She really seems like a great Mother-in-law...

[@carolbrunner8938]

The love in Lydia's eyes when she looks at Trace...

[@alicemaggio8854]

I noticed that, too.

[@karenpierson9841]

Me too

[@rosemaryroutte7379]

I also noticed that. How beautiful that look is.

[@priscillarobinson7740]

How precious is that. What a sweet little baby. Welcome Ryker Cruise Bates ❤ CONGRATULATIONS ~ LYDIA & TRACE ❤

[@zoieholliday1115]

I agree🤍

[@cherylpresleigh6403]

What a beautiful thing to see Trace pray over his son. Congratulations Trace and Lydia on the birth of Ryker. 💙

[@WhoDunnit346]

I almost cried when I saw that. He's going to be an amazing father.

[@cheriesanchez3453]

Mrs. Bates hugging on Mrs. Romeike is so sweet ❤. Congratulations 🎉 He is precious!

[@julesmisty]

We grandmothers are a force united to help our adult kids start and raise their families successfully. We love hugs and... Love ❤

[@patriciaburger8138]

There is nothing more amazing than finally meeting your baby for that first time! Congratulations! Welcome to the world, precious Ryker!

[@VickiTheCraftAttic]

The look on Lydia’s face when he was placed on her; your life has changed instantaneously forever, you feel that rush of love you can’t even imagine you could feel for another person in the world… because up until this moment you haven’t. God Bless Ryker, and Mommy and Daddy of course 🙏🏻👶🏻🍼🩵

[@bygrace3113]

Poor Lydia just post birth, it can be a real shock. I really felt for her. Lord bless this family 💙💙💙

[@naturefleur2062]

So many things to feel at the same time, emotionally and physically. It takes a bit during that transition to adjust.

[@barbaral1486]

Yes! Giving birth is hard, but full of all the feelings!

[@rose-zj5zv]

Yes she was in shock

[@beethistlewinery6682]

She was so much in shock, literally detached for a couple minutes. Overwhelmed. Understandable. Trace so supportive and he quickly realized he needed to step up to the plate and she leaned on him in look and touch. Then she recovered. What a beautiful moment when she finally realized she'd just given birth and she could actually hold her baby.

[@drishticommunitywellness]

Right after I gave birth I couldn’t even look at my baby for a few minutes! It’s a lot! You did amazing Lydia. Beautiful experience- best ever!!!!

[@kcotjo]

Wow such a touching video of your sweet baby Ryker's birth. Thank God for his newest miracle!! Answered prayers for a healthy little guy! Trace you were an amazing supportive husband for Lydia. We gave my husband's parents their first grandchild 40 years ago! Don't blink the time will fly by!! Lydia get lots of rest. You did a great job!! Thank you for sharing your beautiful story!!

[@48grandmachocolate]

Seeing Lydia's mom with him was so special I'm a first time grandma too!! Tell her congratulations and welcome to the best club ever!!

[@crystalstuller2649]

The love in their eyes looking at each other is the best!! Congratulations on your perfect little boy!!

[@TeressaJ1960]

Every second of this video is precious!!! I lost it, though, when Trace held Ryker's hand and prayed. Also, Lydia's face when she looked at Trace was so special. God bless you all.

[@elizabethtunstall]

The love Lydia shows for Trace and the love he shows her is amazing Welcome to the world Ryker.

[@addiebug]

Welcome to this crazy wonderful world, Ryker.

[@alicemaggio8854]

Thank you for sharing this precious time with us. He is so precious. Blessings to you all.

[@DianaF74]

Thank you for sharing! Such a special moment to see parents welcoming a child into the world. Congratulations!! Mrs. Bates letting Mrs. Romeike go first to the baby was such a precious, thoughtful thing to do. Both Bates grandparents standing back and letting her get her fill knowing how special that first grandchild is, was so wonderful to watch. Loved that so much.

[@jeannedennis5863]

Congratulations Trace and Lydia. Welcome to this crazy world sweet Ryker. You're in the perfect family. Lydia just looks like she fell deeper in love with Trace.

[@gracecompton4113]

You did so good Lydia through all that pain. Trace was such a good supportive partner. Congratulations

[@eileenpeterson637]

Ryker is perfect and adorable ! Prayers were answered. He has so much family to love him ! Lydia and Trace you did a great job !

[@hannahelizabethblog]

As a midwife who has helped welcome many babies into the world, I have never seen anyone look so glamorous, especially whilst pushing! You are amazing Lydia. Congratulations to you all again! He is gorgeous 💙

[@cupcake1406]

hannahelizabethblog Of course, she is going to look glamorous because she had an epidural and felt no pain. I guarantee you, if she had an unmedicated birth she would be most likely have a red face, be hot, worn out and sweaty. She would most likely not look so glamorous. This is not to body shame her but from someone who has attended medicated and unmedicated births. The medicated births whom have had epidurals seem to look more glamorous in my opinion.

[@vedafunk4854]

Congratulations on baby Ryker. Love how active and alert he is as a just born baby.

[@barbarabavier675]

Daddy’s eyes and mamma’s mouth. God’s perfect blend of you both. Welcome to the world, Ryker Cruise Bates, and congratulations, Trace and Lydia!

[@karenmurar9119]

He is precious ❤!!! What a perfect gift from the Lord! May the Lord continue to pour His blessings on all of you!

[@MsCassieCrowe]

Aww...it's so exciting having a baby, esp your first! All the fun stuff you get to do after the birth....dressing him up in cute outfits, getting all the snuggly baby cuddles, smelling that sweet baby smell. It's the absolute best isn't it?!? Congratulations y'all he's a handsome lil fella ❤

[@j.stevenbrown4063]

I watched Lydia's mama fall in love. It was so lovely to share. Praying for you all.

[@dawnbutler9649]

[@80sbaby530]

My oldest daughter was born early she weighed 5lb 04oz. She was the tiniest sweetest baby ever. We also had to wake her up every 2 hours to feed throughout the night. When she gained weight we were able to let her wake up for feeding. It was hard especially being first time mom. Sounds like you and Trace are doing an amazing job. You are blessed to have family to help. Congratulations on your beautiful baby boy .
