Christian singer Danny Gokey and wife Leyicet had much to be thankful for during the thanksgiving season as they welcomed their second child, a healthy baby girl.

On November 28 the former "American Idol" contestant took to Instagram to announce that he and his wife were currently awaiting the arrival of their baby girl. "The day has finally come!! We are at the hospital awaiting our baby girl to make an appearance," he wrote along with a picture.

Once the baby was born Gokey took to Instagram again to show the world. He held her and sung some of the lyrics of Richie Valens "Donna." "HERE SHE IS!!!! Victoria Isabella Gokey! I'm so in loooove!!!! A whopping 9lbs 2oz," he wrote along with a video of him and the baby.

In similar fashion Gokey's wife Leyicet, posted a picture upon the baby's arrival and revealed that her labor was not an easy one. "I had pain and Braxton hicks for over a week! It's been the longest week and a half of my life but all worth it!," she wrote, "I don't take this blessings lightly, thank you to everyone that has sent their love and congratulations, I feel so blessed and over whelmed with the love and that this chubby little China doll is here."
