Teyonah Parrisis officially a mom!

“What a friggin whirlwind. 😳 I have so much to say, but I’m too sleep deprived and delirious to really articulate it all how I want to, but what I will say is- God bless all y’all parents out there. Never in my life could I have imagined all that parenthood requires,” the new mom wrote.

Parris went on to thank her midwife, noting that having a home birth wasn’t part of her original birth plan.

“We started our pregnancy journey intending a hospital birth, but that shifted late in the game for us and I’m so glad it did! Everything truly happens for a reason, and being at home was an incredible experience and opportunity for our whole family,” she shared. “I have so much I want to talk about as it pertains to our journey in how we landed at this decision and what it was like. So, more to come!”

Thanking other members of her birthing team and family members, Parris went on to thank fans for “holding us down like no other.”

“Hoping to share more as we go along, but judging how its taken me a month to get this post up 😩😩 who knows!! 🤣🤣Love yall and thank you!!”
