« It was unbelievable, there is not a moment like it, » Matt said.
It was labor day weekend when Matt and Nicole Ziesemer received the news that would change their life.
« She gave me a shirt that said world’s greatest father, and that’s how I found out, » Matt said.
« This was my first pregnancy, and it was all new to me, » Nicole said.
The couple wanted a natural birth.
« We decided not to do an ultrasound, just as little intervention as possible, » Matt said.
At 10:06pm on Saturday, December 30,2017, Blakeley Faith Ziesemer was born.
« It was unbelievable, there is not a moment like it, » Matt said.
But when their doctor, Dr. Megan Forshee, went to check Nicole.
« I reached in to check the patient and realized there was a head, » Forshee said.
« We thought she was joking and she was like, ‘I don’t lie about these things’, » says Nicole Ziesemer.
Surprise….a second baby.
« Very surprising to me thinking there was just one baby there and very surprising to the couple too, » Forshee said.
« We just had no thoughts that there was going to be another child, our whole house is prepped for one child, » Matt said.
« It was just a shell shocker because no one was expecting it, everyone in the room thought they had seen a ghost, » Nicole said.
And at 11:05 p.m., Cade Matthew Ziesemer was born.
« I definitely will not forget this couple or these two babies, » Forshee said.
« My first thought after delivering the second baby, ‘oh crap!’ we need a second crib, a second car seat, a second everything, » Nicole recalled.
