After weeks of careful planning, Matthew's baby arrived in the middle of the night—at a completely different hospital than expected.

In this episode, Matthew shares their unfiltered birth story: the telltale signs Mary initially dismissed, the frantic drive across town, and their first days as a brand-new parent navigating meconium diapers and jaundice.
