The heartwarming video showed Pulliam and her husband, Brad James, joking around inside their hospital room while awaiting their son’s arrival.
“This is how grown people play doctor,” James says while wearing scrubs and showing Pulliam lying inside the hospital bed.
“What are your symptoms,” he asks his wife.
“Something is trying to come out of my vagina,” she jokingly replies.
Another clip shows the happy couple posing with their newborn baby boy wrapped in a blanket alongside Pulliam’s 6-year-old daughter Ella Grace Hartwell. Pulliam shares her daughter with her ex-husband, Edgerton Hartwell.
It’s the first child for Pulliam and James, who tied the knot in September 2021 and announced their pregnancy on The Tamron Hall Show in December, People reports. The actress was noticeably pregnant and said it felt “so good” to finally let the cat out of the bag after sharing her infertility journey in a 2021 documentary.
“Not that I’ve been trying to hide it,” she said at the time. “but when you’ve had a miscarriage, when you’ve gone through this journey, you want to just enjoy this moment and want to make sure that everything is OK.”
She followed up with an Instagram announcement posing alongside her husband.
