His wife Candace Marie, from Florida, US, had been experiencing cramps through the night but assumed it was Braxton Hicks or false labour.
However when she woke up in the morning, her waters broke.
āAs we headed out our house, I felt the babyās head sliding out of me,ā Marie wrote on Facebook on Saturday 15 October.
āYep! Tony delivered our son, Gannicus Ezra, at 8.23am on our front lawn!ā
The new mum said when they got to the front garden, sheād told her partner the babyās head was emerging.
āHe told me it wasnāt, so because I couldnāt see down there he pulled my pants down and saw as far as his eyes,ā she told Popsugar.
āHe immediately told me to lie on the grass and started coaching me to push and take deep breaths.ā
Baby Gannicus was delivered āwithin minutesā.
Marie shared a photo of her husband cradling their newborn shortly after he was born. She also shared a photo of their son when they got to hospital.
Marie continued, on her Facebook post: āHeās as beautiful and healthy as ever! The paramedics arrived shortly after and cut the umbilical cord.
āThank God that we made it safely to the hospital now, though.ā
