Erin Foster is a mom!

The actress, 41, welcomed her first baby with husband Simon Tikhman, sharing the news on her Instagram on Sunday, May 19.

Alongside a series of photos from her home birth, she described the baby's delivery as "truly the most insane experience of my life, with the best ending," before revealing the newborn's unique name.

"Noa Mimi Tikhman being nothing like her mother who is always late, arrived two weeks early. Being totally unbiased I would say she’s perfect and super advanced already, and might be the first person I’ve met who prefers me to Simon," she wrote in the caption of the post.

"Gave birth to her au naturale in our bed like a beast, but also would have taken heroine in the moment if someone offered. Simon would like everyone to know he’s a warrior too ❤️," she added, jokingly referring to photos within the carousel showing her husband pouring a glass of wine during the labor proceedings.
