Congrats to Erykah Badu: the singer gave birth to a daughter on Sunday. Erykah’s partner, Jay Electronica, posted blog updates on Twitter throughout Erykah’s home delivery.
“Morning, I’m in labor,” Badu announced to her 4,500 followers on Sunday.
The couple chose to deliver at her Brooklyn, New York home with the help of a midwife — who was apparently running late.
“Labor has begun,” Electronica wrote. “Everybody stand back. No hospitals. No doctors. No medicine. We’re waiting for the midwife to show.
“Getting closer. She says she feels like she’s ready to push,” he wrote, before updating a couple hours later with “I see the head. Full of hair.”
Shortly after delivery, Electronica posted: “Feb. 1 2009 my first child, my daughter born at 130 PM exactly. It’s the happiest day of my life.”
Badu added: “I can’t believe it’s over. Home birth, no painkillers, about five hours, she was a little past due date, but I didn’t mind waiting. Breath.”
Although Erykah has yet to confirm, she reportedly named her daughter Twitty Milk. Yeah.
Erykah also has a seven year old daughter, Puma, and a ten year old son, Seven, with ex-boyfriend Andre 3000.

@Jdb: the father was talking, not Eryka Badhu. And yes, if she said that, that would’ve definitely sucked!

This is a bad picture of her - if it is - IN FACT - Eyrkah and not a stunt double/decoy.
She is a beautiful woman in all the pictures I’ve seen. And such a sultry, soulfull voice.
LET’S KEEP OUR MINDS ON THE BALL PEOPLE - WHAT’S IMPORTANT!
