Bobby IV was born weighing six pounds and five ounces, and Danielle cried at the first sight of her baby considering she had gestational diabetes and feared the worst going into her delivery.
"He is the most perfect baby I have ever seen," Danielle gushed. "He is healthy, I am healthy, and I honestly feel like our family is complete. We are a family of four and it's a really special feeling."
Bobby said all of the risks of Danielle's pregnancy -- including high blood pressure and the possibility of developing HELLP Syndrome, a variant of preeclampsia -- was worth it once he got to see his son.
Bobby called meeting his second baby a "surreal" experience since he had married a stranger and had two kids within three years.
"I wouldn't have my life any other way, and I honestly can't even see my life any other way," Bobby gushed.
Prior to receiving Pitocin and going into labor, Danielle had multiple doctor appointments to make sure she wouldn't have to deliver her baby "too early."
Danielle was even rushed to the hospital in the middle of the night and was told she must monitor her blood pressure consistently.
Danielle ultimately made it to 37 weeks but was "really freaking out" before her delivery day due to the complications she had when giving birth to the couple's first child, Olivia. In fact, Danielle and Olivia nearly lost their lives.

Deep down inside, the couple admitted they were hoping for a little girl -- and they even had a female name picked out -- but they were still very excited.
Greg joked he'd like to name their son Greg Jr., and Deonna said, "Maybe!"
The couple later had a gender reveal with their family in which Greg hit a golf ball that exploded with blue powder into the air.
Deonna looked through her baby's clothes and acknowledged that he was going to be "so loved." She and Greg even recorded a video for their son that he could eventually watch, and Deonna gushed about how she was "super excited" to be his mother.
"I can't wait to welcome you into this world and show you all of the amazing things this world can offer and you can be," Greg added.
As for Shawniece and Jephte from Married at First Sight's sixth season, they had a pregnancy scare.
Jephte said he wants four or five children, but for the first time, he and Shawniece wanted to plan this life-changing event together.

"This is the first pregnancy test we're taking together!" Shawniece gushed.
Jephte acknowledged he definitely wants more kids but a pregnancy at this stage in the game would "throw a little wrench" into their plans.
"What's the point in taking birth control if you're pregnant?" Jephte asked Shawniece.
"I don't know!" Shawniece replied, waiting for the results of the test.
However, it turned out Shawniece was not pregnant, and upon seeing the results, she yelled out with excitement and relief, "Yes!"
"I am so happy that I am not pregnant. Don't get me wrong, I do want Baby No. 2. I just want it to be on our terms," Shawniece shared in a confessional.
Shawniece and Jephte therefore got back to their original plan of waiting to have another child for a while so they can enjoy being married and watching their daughter Laura grow up.
On the topic of watching babies grow up, Season 1 MAFS star Jamie took a brief trip away from home and Doug was tasked with watching their two young children, daughter Henley and son Hendrix, himself.

Although it was a big job and Doug was relieved when Jamie returned home, the experience made him realize he wasn't spending enough time with his kids and he seemed to be working "more and more hours" to try to make up for all the commission he had lost due to coronavirus.
"I was thinking about the possibility of being a stay-at-home dad," Doug told Jamie. "I never envisioned being a stay-at-home dad, ever. It's just something I never thought I would do."
Jamie acknowledged it was frustrating Doug was working so hard and she could see that it wasn't really getting him anywhere.

Jamie told Doug that she was proud of him for even suggesting that he could be a stay-at-home dad because there's such a stigma attached to that job.
"I totally 100 percent support the idea of you being a stay-at-home dad," Jamie revealed.
The couple therefore determined Doug was going to stop working and focus on their kids!
In addition, Season 10 Married at First Sight couple Jessica and Austin were shown packing up their apartment, renting a moving truck and moving into their new house together!
Before the couple had time to set up their furniture, they enjoyed their first meal in their new home on the hardwood floor. Jessica laughed about making the couple peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, and they couldn't believe how far they've already come as spouses.
The Married at First Sight: Couples Cam episode also featured Karen Landry and Miles Williams braving a hurricane in New Orleans and AJ Vollmoeller and Stephanie Sersen writing poetry to each other.
