- This is wild. Adley, you have a baby sister coming!
Hurry, let's get her a water.
- (Jenny) I'm gonna get in the car.
- Okay, you walk home to the car, I'll get the water.
- Bye, I love you.
- Mom, do you think you're really having a baby?
- I- If this is not labor, oh my gosh
I don't want to know what is.
- All right, are you good?
And Ally, you got the kiddos. Good luck, okay. Bye guys.
Mom's having a baby! (laughs)
- [Jenny] Grab the dogs, grab the dogs.
- Okay. Here's the water.
- Oh my gosh, I can't. Oh my gosh.
- [Shaun] All right bye guys! Love you love you love you!
(Jenny panting) - Oh my gosh. (groans) Bring me a bucket!

(ice rustling)
All right. Bucket. All right, we're good with everything?
I just need to find my phone, I just realized it's
not in my pocket and that would be bad.
- What the crap? Why do I feel better all of a sudden?
(groans) No, not today!
- Let's go. (Jenny groans)
Let it out, yell. Holy- I never want to have a baby.
All right, here we go.
- Hurry hurry hurry hurry.
- Okay. Uh, what hospital did we decide on?
- We can't make it to the U.
- Okay, Augdin it is.
Same place that Adley and Niko were born,
carry on the tradition.
And Jenny's really having a baby. I think this is
what is looks like when you're about to have a baby.
All right, I'm gonna focus on driving fast and safe
and get this momma to the doctor and then
I'll give you guys updates as we go.
All right babe, hey, anything else you want to say?
- To who?
- To the baby!
- Oh, um, you're worth it.
- Yeah!
- I love you.
- Babies are way worth it. She loves you, I do too.
- I hope I don't have a baby in the car.
- Here we come, we're not having a baby in the car.
Okay, bye.
(bag unzips)
Hi. That was a crazy 30 minutes. Jenny is now
in a bed, ready to roll. You went from
whatever was happening in the car to an 8, which means
we're having a baby right now. And Jenny's being a champ.
- Yeah.
- Good job, babe. This is just like your dream come true.
- I know.
- The other day we were talking about how we've always been
induced and had planned babies and how fun it would be to
rush to the hospital and not know what's coming and
your wildest dreams came true.
- I regret saying that.
- (laughs) Welcome to another best day ever.
This is a good day. This is a memorable one.
(phone rings)
I'm gonna guess that's your mom. Andrea.
- Andrea. Call her. Answer it.
Andrea, you're supposed to be here!
- (laughs) She hasn't even called her mom yet, Andrea.
You were the first call.
- Let me charge then I'll be over.
- Okay, thank you so much for coming. You're awesome. Bye.
Andrea's been here for all of our babies,
she's Jenny's friend from- Jenny works at this hospital,
you know. Doing ultrasound stuff. It's working out, though.
We're at our normal hospital with our normal doctor
and everything's going good
and this is just another normal baby, number 3 on the way.
(light music)
One hour ago I was at the space station, in the middle of a
Shonduras seat meeting and I get a call that just said I had
to come home right now so I came home and here we are
one hour later. Whoosh!
(light music)
It's been like ten minutes and we're at a ten or
9 3/4 according to the doctors.
Yeah, give it another ten minutes and best day ever stuff.
(light music)
You're doing awesome, babe.
She has to get a covid test, ouch.
It's mellowing out.
- You have no idea what you're talking about, huh.
- I have no idea. I'm just saying what the doctor said.
- [Doctor] Some oxygen? See if that helps you a little?
- Yeah.
(Jenny groans)
- Good job. All right. We're out of ten, babe. We're close.
This is it. Good job.
- [Doctor] 3, 4, 5, 6
- Good job, babe. That was awesome.
- [Doctor] 5, 6, 7, 8. 9, 10.
- Good job, babe. You're doing so good.
(Jenny groans) We see a baby!
(baby crying)
- [Doctor] Your girl's here!
- Good job, babe! She has so much hair!
- [Doctor] Look at that!
- [Jenny] Oh my gosh!
- [Shaun] Look at all that hair!
- You gonna cut that cord?
- [Doctor] Yep. - [Shaun] Yep.
(scissor snips)
- [Shaun] Whoa, okay. That was scary just doing that.
- [Doctor] It's all good.
A mixture. Hi, little girl. Heart rate's 150.
- She's so beautiful.
- [Doctor] Hi, sweet potato.
- [Shaun] You ready to see your sister Adley
and your brother Niko?
She's so precious, babe.
- [Doctor] Hey, little girl.
(baby cries)
- [Shaun] Aw, don't cry. It's the best day ever,
it's your birthday! You're here!
(scale beeps)
- [Doctor] Seven nine point five.
- [Shaun] Good job.
- [Doctor] 20 inches, 51 centimeters.
- It's our biggest baby we've ever had.
- It's all that blood she got pumped with.
- [Shaun] Yeah.
(machine beeps)
It's like 7:50 maybe?
- [Doctor] 7:47.
- [Shaun] 7:47! You had a freaking jet coming out.
So the baby's doing really good, everything looks healthy.
They're giving her a little oxygen
just to increase her breathing,
but everything looks perfect. I haven't seen anything
that doesn't look perfect yet. I mean, I really don't know
what I'm talking about, but everyone seems happy so I think
everything's going perfect.
- [Doctor] We'll let her hold you for a few minutes.
- [Shaun] Hi, little girl!
Aw, there's your momma! Aw, she's so precious.
- Oh my god, hi sweetheart. We did it.
- [Shaun] Lots of transfusions, lots of faith,
and one really long push.
- So tough.
- [Shaun] Two toughest girls I know.
- Hi sweetie.
- [Doctor] Worth all the pokes, huh?
- Yes. - [Shaun] Worth every single poke.
- She got a little chin.
- [Shaun] Look at all this hair back here. Ooh!
Hat with the hair coming out the back, that's-
that's Dad's style right there.
- You got daddy's hair.
- [Shaun] You got daddy's hair!
- You have daddy's hair!
(baby coos)
I love those noises. Sweetheart. Hi.
You have a big sister and a big brother excited to see you.
(baby coos)
- [Shaun] Aw, she's so cute! I can't handle it.
- You got the chubbiest cheeks. I think this is the longest
I've ever got to hold a baby.
- [Shaun] Say hi, Adley. Hi Niko. It's your family.
My first time holding her. It's perfect. She's so little.
I'm so excited to get to know you.
Look at her little toesies! All right, here you go.
- Get her all settled in
and then you can come back and see her and you,
as soon as you're settled,
did you guys say what her name is?
- [Shaun] Oh, we have no idea. This was a surprise.
- [Doctor] No- no idea yet?
- [Shaun] We were scheduled to be in due Saturday
so we weren't ready yet. - [Doctor] Oh, cool.
Need some time.
- [Shaun] See you, little girl. I love you. Bye!
Had the best day ever! It's a really important day
to have a best day ever, it's your birthday.
Oh wow, the NICU. I have not walked down this hallway
into the NICU in a long time. This is where both Adley
and Niko were. This vending machine- that was many a dinner.
(door opens)
Exact same NICU. Sign in, wash hands, babies over there.
I know this place like the back of my hand.
That's where Niko was for months and months. You get to
be neighbors! Oh, there she is! You got blue lights
just like Niko did. Doing good. That's so crazy,
I remember all this stuff, that headband. This is where
Adley was. She's sucking her little binky, look at her go!
Good job! She already knows how to use a binky, smart baby.
Babe, I went and saw her and she's adorable.
(Jenny groans)
And she's in the NICU and she's in the exact same spot
Adley was in.
- Nice.
- [Shaun] And her crit's good,
her crit's 46 so she's healthy,
she doesn't need a blood transfusion. Yeah, we're gonna
watch it. Same spot Adley was in.
- Why are you in the OR?
- [Shaun] I'm not in the OR, you're back in the room.
- Oh.
- [Shaun] Adley and Niko are gonna go to bed, I was
gonna call them right now and let them know their baby
sister is here.
- I'm tired.
- [Shaun] You just chill here and I'll call them, okay?
- Is there something on my toe?
- [Shaun] Your toe?
- [Doctor] Yes, it's on your toe.
- Okay. (laughs)
- Jenny's out of it. Let's call the kiddos and let them know
that they've got a baby sister.
(phone rings)
Hi. Guess what?
- What?
- You have a new baby sister!
- I wanna see, I wanna see!
- She's here, she's so cute! You're gonna love her!
She's in the NICU right now
cause they're giving her medicine and making sure she's
okay, and she's in the exact same baby bed that you were
in when you were in the hospital! Isn't that cute?
- Yes, I'm so excited to see the baby!
- I know, I'm gonna have to show you soon, we're not
with her right now but in the morning when you wake up
we'll show you.
- What does her hair look like?
- Her hair is brown like dad's and curly
and she has so much of it.
- What if we named the baby Lila? I was thinking of that.
- Lila? Mom, we're thinking about Lila.
(Jenny groans)
That was mom, she sounded kinda crazy huh. She's tired.
She's like half asleep, half awake. If I talk to her
she just says funny things. Niko! You have a baby sister!
The baby's here! You want to see?
The baby's not here right now, I- do you want me to send
you a picture of her?
- Yeah.
- All right, well you guys need to get to bed now.
Oh, Adley, guess what. Adley, guess what. She weighed more
than you did when you were little. She's a big baby.
Yeah, big baby, Niko.
- Okay, bye. See you. See you later.
- Okay, love you guys. Oh wait, come and say bye to momma.
- Love you mom.
- I love you! We had a baby!
- I still want to see her!
- Yeah! Me too. Hi Niko bear.
- Goodnight.
- Goodnight, love you! - [Shaun] Love you guys.
They're so excited! I'm so excited!
It just feels like everything went great today, you know?
Super grateful, super blessed, and just
super best day ever for sure.
How many kids do we have now?
- We have three kids.
- [Shaun] How are we gonna do that?
- What are we gonna do?
- [Shaun] I don't know.
- Oh my gosh. The thing that was on my toe came off, haha.
I can't believe we had a baby.
I can't believe I had an actual baby.
- [Shaun] Just happened on its own. You didn't even have-
what's those crazy shots?
- Epidural.
- [Shaun] You didn't even have an epidural!
- I love you.
- [Shaun] I love you too. Good job, babe.
- Do I look ridiculous?
- [Shaun] You look a little ridiculous.
- Okay.
- [Shaun] I'm gonna let you sleep now.
- Okay. No worm tricks.
- [Shaun] No worm tricks. Love ya.
- Love you.
(closing music)
Was that the best day ever?
- Weirdest day ever.
(Shaun laughs)
