NBA star Stephen Curry is on a roll this 2015. Not only did his team, the Golden State Warriors, win the NBA championship, he also won the league's biggest individual award in being named as the season's Most Valuable Player. And to top it off, his second daughter Ryan Carson was born last Friday.
On her personal blog called Little Lights of Mine, Curry's wife Ayesha wrote about the joy their second daughter brought to their family. "God is amazing. The gift of life is truly an indescribable thing. We were fortunate enough to experience it all over again Friday night! Our beautiful little Ryan Carson Curry arrived perfectly healthy and happy!" she said.
Ayesha shared that she gave birth to Ryan Carson naturally without an epidural, and their daughter finally came out after a "quick" three-hour labour. She weighed 6 lbs. and 1 oz. She thanked her doctor, Dr. Poddatoori, for taking care of them so well.
"Stephen, Riley and I are enjoying this gorgeous gift from God and basking in the present! We are now officially a family of 4! Riley is completely enamored with her little sister and has taken on her role as big sister beautifully. I am already so proud of her!" she added.
For his part, Curry is extremely proud of his wife for braving natural childbirth, and wrote on his Twitter account (@StephenCurry30), "My wife is a champ!"
He earlier said fatherhood gave him more reason to play basketball, and his daughter keeps him grounded. Even if he does well or badly on the court, his daughter will still be happy to see him, and that makes everything all right. So now that he has two daughters, Curry has gained more meaning in life.
"I rarely ever have a bad day, regardless of what happens on the court. It just gives you something more than basketball to kind of play and live for, and it's pretty special. Obviously, every father would say pretty much the same thing about what their daughter or son means to them and how they impact their life," he said.
