“We’re so happy you’re here Rome,” added Mitchell, who also wore a necklace with her newborn daughter’s name on it in the picture.
“I feel really, really good. It definitely takes a village. I’m really lucky my parents are in town and everybody’s been really helpful,” she shared.
Noting that Atlas “is loving being a big sister,” Mitchell said, “She is so excited. She’s been incredible. She helps me change diapers and it’s good — she loves it.”
She added of her second daughter’s moniker: “It’s a very special name and I think similar to Atlas, when I heard it, I knew it was just the perfect name.”
“I can’t help but think this was the universe’s plan all along, knowing I would need other worldly joy to cushion the blow of losing one of the most important people in my life,” she wrote. “Yet, this is proof that love, life, and loss can profoundly exist all at the same time. Gram, I miss you every day. Little one, we are so excited to meet you. I breathe a sigh of peace knowing you two are already connected in such a cosmic way.”
