In the photos, Bates donned blue glasses and clung tightly to her newborn son. Paine, aged 36, gazed upon his wife and baby in one picture, and beamed widely in another. Bates' mother, Kelly Jo Bates, and her sister, Tori Bates, were also present shortly after the arrival of William.
"We are absolutely ecstatic over here, showering little William Gage Paine with love! He truly is a little miracle and an answer to our prayers!" Kelly Jo, aged 57, expressed via Instagram on Tuesday, October 31. "He entered the world yesterday, October 30th, at 5:49 am, weighing 5 lbs 10 oz. The labor and delivery went smoothly, thanks to the incredible staff!"
The matriarch expressed joy over Little William's progress and mentioned the excitement among the children at the Paine home, eagerly awaiting the arrival of their new little brother.

William is Erin and her spouse's sixth child, whom they got married to in November 2013. In addition to their daughters Brooklyn Elise (7), Everly Hope (5), Holland Grace (3), and Finley Marie (21 months), they also have a son named Charles Steven IV "Carson" (8). The births of both William and Finley were considered miracles for Erin, who had faced challenges in conceiving due to battling COVID-19 twice and undergoing three surgeries to remove most of her ovaries.
"I have approximately one-third of an ovary remaining, but it is heavily scarred," Erin exclusively disclosed to We in February 2021. "Unfortunately, the possibility of having children is no longer on the table, which is disheartening because Chad and I always dreamed of having at least 10 kids. However, one can never anticipate God's plan for the future. Sometimes things don't unfold as we envision them. Therefore, I cannot predict what lies ahead for us, but we are definitely open to exploring various options."
Notably, Erin is one of 19 children and holds the position of the third eldest in her parents' brood, consisting of Kelly Jo and Gil Bates.
