Ellen Rucker Carter and her husband of four years are finally parents now!
Carter who was extremely excited about her pregnancy for the past few months is simply the happiest mother on earth. It seems being a mother for the second time is nothing but a proudful experience for her.
Happily flaunting her large baby bump for months and uploading those shots on the social media, the new mom didn't miss to share the image of her adorable little ones this time.
Yes! Carter and her husband Sellers are parents to their twins!
Enjoying every single day feeling heart beats within her, she gave birth to adorable Stokely and Sadie on 7th January 2019. One week after the big day she shared an image of her daughters. Have a look:
Carter and her husband previously had a lot of debate regarding naming their little ones. She shared in her personal website that her husband loved names Justice and Jet for their kids. Though her family has a trend to choose a specific name.
She recalled,
"So I started looking for names that began with “S”. When I said “S” names, our son’s name was automatic for Bakari. He had it already picked out. I loved the name immediately because it is so deeply woven into his family’s legacy. But, now we needed our daughter’s name. We flirted around with several “S” names. I really wanted a name that our little family loved and that had deep meaning as well."
After months of thinking about names, they agreed on Sadie Ellen and Stokely Taggart. Pretty amazing names, aren't they?
The happy month shared images of her 14-year-old daughter, husband and especially her newborn daughters. She celebrates every passing month since the birth of her kids and that's what a super excited mother does to express her jolliness.
