The Tolberts’ baby boy — their second child after daughter Emerson “Emmy” Avery, who turns 2 this month — was born on Monday night, during what Jade described as “one of the scariest moments of my life.”
“I accidentally gave birth at home last night, in our master closet,” the former Bachelor contestant, 32, wrote alongside a photograph she shared a day after the birth, which showed her cuddling the newborn as paramedics and family members surrounded her.
“I’ve been still processing the shock of this all, as this was not all at what I had planned, but I am so so thankful for each person who helped bring our son into the world safely,” she added.
Speaking with PEOPLE, Jade called the entire experience “wild” while Tanner, 32, said although the couple wasn’t “shocked that he came early,” they “were shocked that he came so fast.”
“Because it was such a fast labor and my body went through so much in such little time, my recovery has been a little bit harder than it was with Emmy, but we’re just relaxing and just bonding with our baby,” Jade continued.
Ultimately, “I’m really grateful,” she said. “I mentally kind of lost it at one point. But luckily, I had a really great team behind me. They were my strength in the moment. And it just feels so right to have our son here. It feels like he’s been a part of our family forever.”
The new parents of two were still finalizing their baby boy’s moniker as of Thursday morning, with Jade writing on her Instagram Story that they were “waiting to find something out” before they solidified their decision.
“Thanks for being so patient, I know you all are excited to find out,” she addressed her followers. “Thanks for being so invested and supportive of our lil’ family!”
