Kim Zolciak welcomes a baby boy!

KIm-Zoliak_MG_1660.jpgIt's a boy for Kim Zolciak! The 32-year-old Real Housewife of Atlanta and her boyfriend, Kroy Biermann, 25, welcomed their son, Kroy Jagger Biermann, into the world on May 31 in an Atlanta hospital. The healthy baby weighs 8 pounds and is 21 inches long. "Mom and baby are doing amazingly!" Kroy, a star defensive end with the Atlanta Falcons, ecstatically tells Life & Style.

In April, when Life & Style attended Kim's extravagant baby shower, the reality star shared her excitement and anticipation: "I hear the bond of a mother and son is like no other, too, so I'm just excited in general," Kim, who has two daughters, Brielle, 14, and Ariana, 9, from a previous relationship, told Life & Style. "It'll be new for me. It's new for Kroy because it's his first baby, but it's going to be new for me too. It's been 10 years, and it's a boy."

And Kim is most looking forward to watching Kroy be a dad. "He has more patience than anybody I know," she told Life & Style. "I'm pretty high-strung and he's very easy moving; he doesn't really get upset about anything. He's patient, he's kind, he's a sweetheart. I hope this baby has his disposition, per se -- really sweet and more passive."
