Perhaps extended sleep sessions were why Jordin Sparks was more relaxed and able to avoid the dreaded morning sickness effect of expectancy. “I was sleeping, probably, fourteen hours, fifteen hours, out of the day,” the singer reveals. “I was so exhausted. I would wake up tired, and then I’d be like, ‘Okay, babe, I’m going to go lay down at 5:30, and I wouldn’t wake up until 9:30 the next day. It was so crazy.”
The public learned of Jordin Sparks and husband Dana Isaiah’s expectancy during the second trimester of Jordin’s pregnancy. The couple’s son decided to make his grand entrance during the first week of May.

“He decided to wait,” Jordin says of her son’s late arrival. “He wanted to be fashionably late,” she muses. “I was due the last week of April, and he came the first week of May. It was definitely crazy to get past the due date and he wasn’t moving. He wasn’t budging. I was fine with it. I wasn’t stressed out. I was like, ‘Okay. You just take your time. You need to cook a little bit more. Little bun in the oven’s got to heat up? That’s totally fine.’ And then, he dropped.”
Jordin Spark went the way of au natural during labor and delivery. “It was just a really amazing experience,” she says of the birthing experience sans medication.

“I just remember being the tub, and Dana caught him. He was the first person that [our son] saw,” Sparks shares. “[DJ] was just looking at everything.”
