After welcoming their third child together on Saturday, the 33-year-old social media influencer teased she couldn’t ‘wait to share all the magic’ of her successful delivery.
‘Right now we are soaking in all these beautiful, new moments,’ she noted, before expressing her gratitude. ‘Thank you for all the love and support and for holding space for our little family in your hearts. I’m one grateful mama.’

In the intimate images, Tolbert can be seen cradling his baby boy outside of a white inflatable pool, in which his wife sat in with a beaming smile across her face.
The couple enlisted the help of birthing expert and midwife Lindsey Meehleis to welcome their little one into the world.
Meanwhile, the father-of-three, who posted the same image, kept his caption more light-hearted, joking that they were officially ‘outnumbered’ by their kids.
Roper wore a nude sports bra and her trademark brown tresses in a high ponytail, as she prepared to welcome her latest bundle of joy, whose name is yet to be revealed.

While water birthing can offer a ‘natural pain relief without anesthesia,’ according to Women’s Health, the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists and the American Academy of Pediatrics has issued warnings about its use during the second stage of labor.
Complications can include ‘umbilical cord rupture as the newborn is being lifted out of the water or infections caused by using water from a contaminated source,’ according to the outlet.
The reality stars, who met on the second season of Bachelor in Paradise in 2015, announced their infant’s arrival early on Saturday morning over Instagram.
‘5:33 AM,’ Tolbert, 33, told his 656,000 followers of the exact time his little one was delivered. ‘Mama and Baby boy doing great.’

The evening before, Tolbert posted footage of his wife in labor in their bedroom and sitting in an inflatable pool for ‘bath time.’
Unlike with the birth of their nine-month-old son Brooks Easton, the Naturally Jade founder quipped she ‘made it out of the closet’ this time.
Her longtime love, who she also shares her three-year-old daughter Emmy, also joked: ‘Not in the closet this time. Water just broke. Baby will be here sometime.’

Roper and Tolbert were referencing how their second-born was unexpectedly born in her master closet last August.
Earlier this week, she opened up on her Instagram Story about how ‘having a third baby is so weird.’
‘I’ve been told they are wild cards, and it’s really hard to not compare him to how both Brooks and Emmy’s labors/ births went!’ the doting mom explained.
