Born Lighter Than Siblings, Shawn Johnson East’s Baby Boy’s First Doctor Visit Results Out

Well-known retired Olympic gymnast Shawn Johnson East and her husband, Andrew East, welcomed a third bundle of joy when Barrett Madison “Bear” East was born on December 12. This marked the beginning of their intertwined journey, which commenced in 2012 when Shawn retired from the gymnastics world. This journey led to a fortuitous encounter and subsequent marriage in 2016. Adding to the beautiful tale of their shared ventures and personal successes, baby Barrett ensures yet another brighter page as they expand their burgeoning family.

Today marked an important milestone as the newborn had his inaugural doctor’s visit, revealing fresh insights into his health and growth. This visit provided new details about the baby’s well-being, adding to the excitement surrounding their newest family member, Barrett “Bear” Madison East.

Shawn Johnson East’s journey with Baby Bear

When Shawn Johnson East posted on her Instagram in July last year that she was pregnant with her third child, waves of excitement spread. “He is the best Christmas present we could have asked for, and we’re loving our family of five,” the couple told E! News after delivering the baby via c-section. “Life is so good, and we are feeling really blessed to have a third healthy baby join our family,“ East wrote at the time. Fast forward to today, her first son when born, Drew weighed eight pounds and was two inches long at forty-one weeks and three days. Her second son Jett arrived weighing nine pounds thirteen ounces but was thirty-nine weeks and three days old. Their most recent addition is named Bear, who arrived at 39 weeks weighing just under seven pounds and measuring a healthy 20.5 inches from crown to rump.

However, the recent highlight was Bear’s initial doctor’s visit, a milestone Shawn shared on Instagram. She captioned the post, “Just got back from the first doctor’s visit. The little man is crushing it. Aced it all.” The post included a picture of Shawn with her baby, although the baby’s face was not visible.

Family joys and growing bonds

The candid couple now share their joy with daughter Drew Hazel and son Jett James. Throughout her pregnancy, the gymnastically gifted Johnson openly revealed on social media that, even if she were to give birth again in the future, it would be through adoption or alternative means.
