They’re officially MOM AND DAD! Shannon and James sit down to recap the birth of their sweet baby girl, Daisy Patricia Middleton! They discuss the long weeks leading up to her due date, the unexpected parts of labor, and Shannon’s luck: a (wonderful) student nurse who made her cry. Shannon talks about her initial fear of childbirth and what helped ease her anxiety. James shares his perspective from the delivery room, and his shock from the shape of Daisy’s head (parents, you know). Epidural, low blood pressure, swelling, catheters, hemorrhoids, but also the overwhelming joy of being parents: don’t miss episode 164 for all things birth of Daisy.
