Birth
Flynn was born on December 10, 2018, in California. He was born 3 weeks before his due date. Colleen posted Flynn’s birth video on her 'YouTube' channel on December 13. The video garnered over 10 million "views" within just a week. When her water broke, instead of rushing to the hospital, she took her time to straighten her hair and dress up to welcome the baby.
On December 16, Colleen posted another video, 'BABY NAME REVEAL!' As the title suggests, the video chronicled the story behind the naming of Flynn. Colleen and Erik did not want a common name for their first bundle of joy. Thus, instead of searching for a name in conventional baby-name books, they decided to choose a name that would reflect their family’s history. However, they took a lot of time to pick the name. All the while, they called the newborn “Baby” and “Bunny,” the latter being more frequent.
Flynn’s first name was derived from Erik and his father’s middle name. It was also Erik’s Irish great-great-great-great-grandfather’s surname. His middle name, “Timothy,” honors Colleen’s father. When she was about to deliver her child, Erik took out a pin they had bought in Ireland. The pin had Erik’s family name, “FLYNN,” printed on it. They believed that was a sign that the child’s name should be “Flynn.”
In the video titled ‘2018 was hard,’ Colleen seemed happy to have been engaged, been married, and experienced motherhood, all in the same year.
