Pat McAfee<\/a>\u2019s got plenty to celebrate — and exhale over — after welcoming baby No. 2 with wife Samantha McAfee … following a scary emergency C-section!<\/p>\n

In a lengthy X post Monday, Pat announced the arrival of son Midas Robert McAfee — revealing doctors made the call Friday night after Samantha\u2019s high-risk pregnancy took a turn with severe preeclampsia.<\/p>\n

Pat proudly shared … “Baby boy officially entered the world on May 22nd at 10:42 PM as a 6lb 6oz screaming young legend \u2026 10 toes, 10 fingers, full head of hair.”<\/p>\n

He said he and Samantha got some time with Midas before the newborn was taken to the NICU to help develop his lungs and adjust after arriving a few weeks early.<\/p>\n

Now, the couple\u2019s looking ahead to bringing little Midas home — where big sister Mackenzie, 3, is apparently more than ready to meet her baby bro.
