"This little guy has been teasing us about his arrival for the last month so it is only fitting that he surprise us with his arrival on Easter Sunday," Rycroft, 31, said in a statement. "He’s perfect and beautiful."

"Ava can’t wait for us to bring him home to be able to show us all of the big sister duties she’s been practicing!" Rycroft added.
