“Gates was a name we picked out randomly one night while on a date and it stuck so well,” Adam revealed. “It is also tribute to Ravens maiden name. Zev is a name of Hebrew origin which means Wolf - also my great grandfathers name. We’re getting ready for 2045 NFL draft already.”
Adam’s collection of photos of his newborn son included an array of snapshots of Gates – including an adorable picture of him taking a little snooze on the couch with their dog gently resting his head next to him, a picture of the family of three on their way to leave the hospital, and a cute video of the tiny tot with a pacifier in his mouth.
The couple shared their little one’s name to mark getting to take him home from the hospital.
“We’re finally heading home today from being at the hospital since Monday!!” Raven said in her post. “What was life before him??? I can’t recall. So many of you told me “seeing your child for the first time, it’s a feeling you can’t explain”. You all were so right! I may tell the story of his birth later. But for now, I’ll hold off and just soak in these precious moments with him now that we are home.”
The reality star thanked her doctors and her and Adam’s families for their support.
