"My incredible team had him out in a matter of 3 hours after going in to active labor. He was still breech so they had to do a C-section. Crew was earth-side in 3 hours and arrived at 8:31 pm," she added.
Sims also thanked doctors for helping her, saying:
“Thank you Dr. Fishman, Dr. Winterrowd, Dr. Johnson & @thedoulaplatinumcollective for clearing your Thursday night for us. He came out crying and breathing everything went well. I seriously have never seen or felt so much love and felt more like a team than I have with Brooks throughout all of this."

"Our shower was supposed to be Saturday. Crew already showing us who's boss."
