Good things come to those who wait — except in Tia Mowry‘s case!

When son Cree Taylor arrived on June 28, five days earlier than his expected due date, the actress was thrilled to finally see an end to her pregnancy.

“I was told to be prepared for him to come before or after my due date,” Mowry, 33, tells BET.com. “I was excited to get this baby out of me.”

And although she was prepared for the possibility of welcoming baby early, Mowry admits she didn’t anticipate the sudden wave of feelings after meeting her son.

Meet Cake Boss‘s Carlo Salvatore Valastro!

On Monday morning, Buddy Valastro was ready to accompany his then-pregnant wife Lisa to one of her last doctor’s appointments, but at the last minute, she told him not to come.

“She says, ‘If you go it’s going to be nothing! If anything happens, I’ll call you,’” he recalls. “I get to the Lincoln Tunnel and she calls me and she’s like, ‘It’s time.’ We did a U-turn, went right home and went to the hospital. We got here at 10 o’clock [in the morning] and at 5:11 p.m. she gave birth. It was pretty perfect.”

So was the ‘lovely’ timing. “What a perfect Valentine’s Day gift,” he says. “What kind of a Valentine’s Day gift do you and [your] wife want [more] than a new baby?”
