 You excited? How many days? How many days? Two days. Maybe sooner. So today we have another fetal assessment in Winnipeg at St. Boniface Hospital. Yeah, birds. See how the little dude's doing? Our giant little dude. He's a big baby. Big boy. No room but he is viciously kicking today. Somehow he's finding room to do that. He is ready to come out. So tomorrow her sister gets here. And I think that's when it's gonna be really real. So it's gonna feel real. Because we know that she's here to watch the dogs and watch the house while we're at the hospital. Feel good. Yeah? Yeah. You ready? I'm ready. I'm training for this moment for a while. I'm ready. So now we go into Winnipeg. Get the last fetal assessment. This is the last appointment before the actual C-section. We've got a park on the street. It blocks away from the hospital. Like usual, there's no parking around the hospital. I think that's a general rule of hospitals. Just making sure that it's a two-hour parking. Okay. It doesn't matter what hospital you go to. Usually there's no parking. So I dropped right off at the front doors. St. Boniface Hospital and parked. About four or five blocks down. I'll walk in. She's registering inside there already. That's the hospital right up here. It's one of the biggest ones in Manitoba. St. Boniface Hospital. It's actually the hospital where I was born. Bring my blood pressure. They're just checking for preeclampsia again. Hopefully all is clear. They might give me something to keep my blood pressure stable over the next couple days until the C-section. Okay. I'm just, I have no idea what's going on. It's just the support of husband. Kind of freaked me out a little bit that it wasn't like last time where we just go home. Now they're like, you need to go downstairs to triage. And I'm like, why? All the questions and forms she had to fill out. I was like, is he coming today? No, not before I get my Olive Garden. I'm hungry. I don't know if you can hear it over there, but that's baby's heartbeat. We're freaking out a little bit. So we're gonna be staying here at the hospital a little longer than we thought. A couple days or so. Because I have preeclampsia. Looks like Theo's coming within the next half hour or so. He's coming right now. Two days early. Two days. March 22nd. Oh boy. So we aren't that prepared. We're not at all prepared. We should have been a little more prepared. We don't have our go bags or phone chargers. We had this all planned out. But life isn't perfect. Life is messy. So we're just rolling with it. So after delivery, he's gonna be here, like she said, in less than an hour. And after delivery, I'm gonna stake around here for a little bit. And then I'm gonna run home, grab our stuff, take care of the dogs, and then come back here for night. And then her sister is going to meet me at our house and she's gonna stay there overnight with the dogs. It's happening right now. This kid's a handful already. We're ready for you, little buddy. Here he comes. So in a few minutes, the doctor's gonna come in and give me scrubs. She's already in hers. Well, these are hospital gowns. And then they're gonna take her away from me and bring her into the room and get her prepared for surgery. Give me my anesthesia, or not my anesthesia, my spinal. Mm-hmm. And then once everything's set and ready, they're gonna bring me in with the scrubs and we're gonna meet our son. Wow. Five and a half years we've been preparing for this. Here it is. We're in shock a little bit because we were not expecting this. Yeah. We just wanted to go to Olive Garden. We were gonna go to Olive Garden after this. So we will talk to you guys after. We're not gonna be filming at all in the operating room. But there might be some pictures that we share after he's cleaned up. We'll see what we can do. We'll see what we can do. No promises. But we'll see you once he's out here and in the wall. It's a couple of days later, but we want to introduce you to somebody. This member of our family came out absolutely perfect. Our little milk monster. Mom will feed you before I finally go have a shower. Two days later. Past all of his tests. Yep. Perfect health. Yeah. Just had his hearing tested. Yeah. No jaundice. It was seven pounds and 12 ounces. I'm not sure where he was hiding inside of me. Well, my ribs. He was up in my ribs. Big boy. Big healthy boy. Welcome to the world, Theo. Welcome to the family. We're going home today and I think the fur brothers are probably pretty excited to meet him by now. So it was a little nerve-wracking for us, especially for Brett. We came in for a fetal assessment and it turned out we were, she was. Swooped away for surgery. Yes. Swooped away for surgery and they had to prepare her. So I waited outside the room and they prepared her for surgery and then right before they started, they let me into the room. I had to go sit beside her head there. That's the picture you probably saw already. Just after Theo was born. That was probably about maybe a minute after he was born. Just before 9 p.m. A wild ride. It's two days later now. We're just wrapping up this video. Everything. It's supposed to be C-section day. Yes. Today was supposed to be the day. You got a head start. Can you imagine if he'd been in there till April 1st? He's seven pounds 12 ounces born. Can you imagine how much he would have weighed? Yeah. I would have exploded. Lost some weight after he was born. They said that's perfectly normal. Yeah. As long as they don't lose more than 8%. Yeah. He was seven pounds six ounces last night. Last night? Yeah. And this is two days later. So he was born on Wednesday, March 22nd, 2023. And we're wrapping this up here March 24th. And getting ready to go home. Britt's gonna get all cleaned up. I'm gonna clean up the room here. Can you get my bandages taken off? They're gonna check out my incision and get our paperwork filled out and away we go. So just to wrap things up. We've been at the hospital here for two days. Britt has been healing up very well. She's been a champion through the whole surgery and C-section. Didn't even flinch. I mean, it could have been the medications. But handled it like a champion. And he came out strong as ever. Perfectly healthy in every way. Perfectly perfect. Yes, he is. Might be a little bit biased, though. How are you feeling? Soar. Extremely tired. I was up for 39 straight hours. But I got like, let's say, cumulatively maybe about four or five hours last night of sleep. So I'm a little better today. A little less hazy. I could sure use a shower. Definitely going for one of those soon. But I'm over the moon. Look at this guy. He's so beautiful. I'm gonna take you home soon, buddy. We'll meet your fur brothers. They're gonna love you. Oh, are they ever especially Chevy? Chevy's very good with babies. Yes, he is. He loves kids. We've been waiting a long time for you, man. Yeah, five and a half years. You couldn't wait two more days. Yeah. Ready to go home today, Theo? He's all fed. Dressed. Ready for the day. Oh yeah? What's that? Oh, he's dreaming about eating. I was supposed to go for a shower two hours ago. He's eating constantly. Boy likes his food. He really likes his food. Just like me. I like my food a little too much, too. A bit of a belly to show for it. Brits gotta go down the hall. And this is first time just me with Theo. One on one daddy time. He looks very comfortable. I'm gonna leave him right there. He should be content for at least an hour or two now. All right, I'll see you when I'm someone more human. All right, enjoy. I'm just gonna sit here and stare at you. Is that okay? So I went to go grab his car seat, right? I had to get it from the car and walk in with it. Bit of an emotional walk for me. Gonna take you home, buddy. I've been waiting so long for you. Big yawn. Big yawn. Yeah, walking back because I parked in the parkade, right? There's a long-term parking parkade and I didn't know how long we were going to be here. So I just bought a pass for the week and went and parked there. I didn't have to worry about the vehicle then, right? The last thing I want to worry about right now is at least we know we weren't getting a toad. It's impossible to find parking around hospitals. Going and got it out of the car a little while ago. Carried it up and all the nurses asking, you going home today? Yeah. Trying to hold it together all that coming over with him. Waiting so long for you. Isn't that amazing? I'm right here, buddy. You know the first picture we have of him, because he's an IVF baby, so the first picture we have of him was five days after conception. Just a clump of little cells. How is my baby boy? We have a picture of him at home. Now look at him and all he can do is dream about eating. This is our little hotel room, our private room. Our grand suite. It feels watching us in the future. This is the room you first lived in. You first lived in. Yeah. First two and a half days of your life. I don't know exactly where or which room, but somewhere on this floor I was also born. It's a very good floor. You're looking great. You tell she just had a baby. Looks fantastic. We're getting everything packed up. Then I'm going to bring everything down to the car. Everything except what we absolutely need, the jackets, the car seat, the feel. Then all we got to do is a stress-free, slow walk downstairs with feel. I'll bring her to the doors. We'll find her somewhere to sit. I'll go grab the vehicle, bring it up to the doors, go inside, get Theo and her, bring them out to the car, latch them in to the base of the car seat in the back for the first time. Take the big trip home. Yeah. Might be a bit of an emotional ride. A little bit. It's been a long time coming. Has it ever? Do you think this will fit over the car seat? Because we don't have our car seat covered that I anticipated us having. That'll be enough to keep up the wind, hey? Yeah, and we won't be outside much, just from the doors to the car. Yeah, it comes off once we get in there anyway. Okay. Little Theo, you're going to go on your very first car ride. I always love car rides when I was a kid. You are going to love it. Then maybe sometime this week or sometime very soon, I'll take you to meet old blue. It's going to be your first big semi truck. Yeah? Oh, is that a smile? I'll say it was a smile. We're going to say it was a smile. Yes. Very excited. Maybe when you're old enough, you'll get to drive it. Oh, you're real good. Little Theo, you're ready to go home. You're ready to go home. You're going home outfit. Doctor says it's time to go home. Just before we leave, we're going to put him in his car seat for the first time. Just call the nurse. She's going to come make sure that we got him in there correctly and he'll be officially discharged. We're just ready for the car seat approval so we can go home. Okay, I'll look. Thank you. Here we go, buddy. He's fancy going home outfit on. Doesn't he look good in whales? Handsome man. Great in whales. Let's go home and introduce you to your fur brothers. Yes. Yes. Three hours is going to feel a lot more restful than our men. Yeah. It's your first car ride, Theo. You're going to love this. You wait until you see what's outside these walls. There's a whole world out there. Lots of people, man. And Theo in the back. They're on the way home. And of course, taking them to Tim Horton's first thing. Daddy needs his coffee. We've got about a half hour drive home yet. You're feeling pretty good, eh? We are home. How are you feeling? I don't know that I'm home, but sore. Really, really sore. We're about to introduce all the big guys. We've got little guys down here already getting caught up in everything. He's stuck. There you go. And we've got the wiener around here somewhere too. He's pouting over there. He's pouting. And the star. Welcome home, Theo. And big, big thank you to Auntie Jess. Yes. Anytime. Big sister award goes to you. I love it. She took care of our whole house, took care of our dogs, made sure everything was good to go at home. Taking care of no worries. When you figure, brother, are you ready the big guys to meet them? Yeah, absolutely. I won't be able to bring them over here, maybe. Put them on the couch. Theo on the couch? Sure. In the, in the. Sure, yeah, in the car. See, just this mark. Yeah. Yeah. So we're trying to figure out the best method of introducing the big guys to Theo. We don't want to overwhelm them. And they're going to be very, very excited. Ready for the dogs? Here we go. Okay, boys. Here they come. Mom and dad are home. I know you guys haven't seen us in a while. We didn't tell you we weren't coming back right away. We didn't know. We didn't know we'd be gone for days. And then, yeah, and then Auntie showed up. What the heck? And you know what? That's awesome. Theo's here. Theo's here. Oh, wow. Chevy, yeah, we brought you your very own baby brother. You're very excited. You like him? He said, wait. Okay. Good boy, Chevy. Stay there. Everybody be very gentle. Did you just tell him he's cuter than him? Is he cuter than you, Wiener? Okay. It's time for him to go to mom. Let me know what you think, Theo. Daddy worked really hard. Oh, he's so excited. He's crying. I'm going to feed you.
