Christmas came early this year!
Big Brotherseason 19 starChristmas Abbottwelcomed her first child, a son named Loyal Atticus Abbott, on Monday, Oct. 8, according toEntertainment Tonight.
“My family has a history of strong and unique names so I wanted to follow suit,” Abbott toldET. “I chose his first name Loyal because I believe it will guide him to have strong integrity through his life. It’s a reminder that family comes first, which is why it is his first name.”
“I chose his second name Atticus from the Greek educator and philosopher to embrace balance and fairness through understanding,” she added. “Neither is a family name, but I hope he will embrace his name as his own and follow the greatness he can bring to this world through love, understanding and fair action.”
“I had a short list of names and actually had a different second name picked that I felt VERY confident in it up until the moment he was born. To a point of certainty,” Abbott explained toETabout her last-minute decision.
“However, when I sat with him after the chaos and reflected on our journey together to this point and who he could become in his life, it was switched.”
“The name, which was not my first choice until this moment, stayed stuck on my tongue as I watched him in this new world,” she added. “My heart sang and I knew he was special and needed a strong, unique name to remind him of what he can contribute to this world.”
“Well, I’ve always expected the unexpected in my life and this year is no different! In January I discovered I am actually EXPECTING and a whole new life would be laid out before me,” wrote Abbott, 36. “After a challenging 2017 year it is turning out that2018 is the best yearof my life to date.”

Over the past seven months, the new mom shared a candid look into her pregnancy on Instagram —including one photographat 39 weeks pregnant, where she’s sitting on a toilet and tossing an annoyed look at the camera.
“Take note — when a pregnant woman says 1 – she has to pee, she means RIGHT NOW. Holding it isn’t an option,” Abbott wrote elsewhere in the lengthy, candid caption. “2 –she says she’s hungry, she also meansRIGHT NOW and not an hour later.”
