Ervin, a filmmaker, began by explaining how he's had the name Isaac picked out since middle school. "My sister Kia and I would have discussions about, 'Oh, one day, when we have kids...'" Ervin said. "I brainstormed my own name for my future son, and I knew it was gonna be Isaac even from then until now."last month, recalled how she and Ervin chose Menelik after being "inspired" on a trip to Ethiopia.
"So, everything in his name is pointing to legacy. Whether it's, you know, Isaac with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. Menelik, you know, the royal African roots," Ervin said, noting that Giovanni is a nod to both his and Graham's grandfathers and the church his family worshipped in. Graham also opened up about her natural, home birth. "Now, I have to say now though that I gave birth and I did it naturally and I felt everything, I feel like there's nothing I can't do," she shared. "Like, there's nothing that could come my way where I say, 'Oh, that's too hard I can't handle that.' I went through laboring for six hours, naturally.
"At home. Right there. In a big ol' pool," she continued and then joked, "Don't worry, it wasn't on the carpet." The television personality expressed her reasons behind opting for a home birth instead of a hospital. "If I would have had the birth at a hospital, I think my anxiety would have been through the roof," Graham told her husband. "But because I was here, the lights were dim, it was a chill environment, I got to eat whatever food I wanted to, I got to be in bed, I could be in the pool."Graham then emotionally recalled the moment baby Isaac came into the world.
