Daniel Goddard Went Overboard on the Kodak Moments

Lots of parents are in the delivery room with cameras, both still and video. But "Young and the Restless" star Daniel Goddard went a little nuts with the cameras when it came time for new son Sebastian to be born. Daniel and wife Rachael welcomed the baby 3-1/2 weeks ago now, and Daniel recalls the moments during the birth.

"I put on a prime lens on my camera and I shot 36 rolls of film during the birth," Daniel says. "I got every picture - from her walking into the hospital, to the doctor with a scalpel in her stomach, to the baby’s head in her lap."

Sebastian William was born via c-section. The doctor asked Daniel if he "wanted to see Rachael's ovaries and insides," but Daniel wisely declined. "That image would have killed my sex drive!"

Daniel, 33, says it may very well be his last opportunity to get the magic moments of childbirth on camera. "I think we're done now, but who knows?"

Daniel and Rachael also have an older son, Ford Martin, 2-1/2. And hey, Daniel was just named "Most Beautiful Man Alive" for 2009 by TV Guide Canada.

Daniel Goddard Welcomes Son

Karl Erikson — Sun, 28 Dec 2008 19:06:00 GMT

"Young and the Restless" star Daniel Goddard, 37, welcomed his second son with wife Rachael three days early. Sebastian William Goddard came to Earth on Friday, December 19, weighing 9 lbs, 11 oz and measuring 21 inches. Now that's a big baby! According to his Myspace page, Daniel says the labor and delivery went just fine.

"Rachael’s water broke at 4 a.m., I called one of the producers from work because I was supposed to be there at 7 a.m.! I drove very carefully to the hospital, didn’t speed at all!"

Daniel and Rachael also have another son, Ford Martin, who is 2-1/2. "Mum & baby are doing well," Daniel says, "and Ford is doing a great job as a big brother!"

Congrats to Daniel and Rachael. It's not like anyone sleeps during the holidays, anyway. Now they have a good reason.

Minnie Wants More Little Drivers

Minnie Driver, 38, was on the Ellen show Friday and talked babies. Henry Story is only 10 weeks old and he popped out at 9 lbs, 12 oz. Big boy! But Minnie is already talking MORE babies. She says that as her memory of the labor pains fades, she wants more little Drivers. "The pictures do make you kind of go, 'Ouch!," Minnie says, "but then I look at him. I want another one of them."

This after two prolonged false labor episodes and 25 hours of ACTUAL labor. She was hoping to avoid a C-section, but that didn't happen. "I thought that it was his journey. He wasn't in any trouble, there was nothing wrong. He was just a big baby." So big, in fact, that he couldn't even squeeze into his cute pumpkin costume for Halloween. "We had to cut the feet off to make him fit, so he wore orange and black spider socks."

Ack! Spiders! Someone kill Henry's feet! Oh, I mean...aww, God's creatures are all beautiful. Except for the platypus. Those things give me nightmares.

Minnie is scheduled to appear in a film next year called "Motherhood," with costars Uma Thurman and Anthony Edwards.
