Recalling the birth of Rio, Kailyn admits that Elijah did not cry when he saw his son for the first time. She remembered being upset that he didn’t cry. His not crying, however, wasn’t a total surprise as he was a “mellow, calm, cool, and collected person.”
The MTV personality said she asked Elijah recently why he didn’t cry when their son was born. Elijah explained he was overwhelmed by emotions. Everything happened so fast with the medical staff rushing their son to the NICU (neonatal intensive care unit) shortly after his birth.
Kailyn Lowry added that the birth was “traumatizing.” Sadly, she only got to hold him for a few seconds before he was ripped from her arms and rushed to the NICU.
