“Humbled and overjoyed to announce the safe, happy arrival of Jeremiah Van Der Beek ❤️ (We’ve been calling him Remi, btw - not “dinosaur” 🥰),” James captioned a sentimental carousel of photos and videos.

He opened up about why they didn’t publicly share the pregnancy news and continued, “After experiencing late-term#pregnancylosstwice in a row (both at 17+ weeks), we kept this one quiet. Truthfully, I was terrified when I found out.”

“Each child brings their own energy, their own manifestation of consciousness, their own lessons. The ones we lost each gifted us with different pieces of the puzzle… leaving us that much more grateful for the ongoing master class we get to enjoy with this sweet, wise little one,” James added, going on to thank “everyone in our community” for their support and honoring of their privacy.

“Life is beautiful ❤️,” James concluded the post.

“My life was on the line,” Kimberly toldPEOPLEin May. “What saved my life was blood transfusions, people who donated blood. Without them, I probably would not be here.”
