Baker Mayfield's wife Emily expresses surprise as daughter Kova turns 8 months old
Parenthood is no less than a rollercoaster ride. Tampa Bay Buccaneers star Baker Mayfield's wife Emily was recently surprised by the fact that her daughter Kova turned eight months old.
On Wednesday, Emily Mayfield posted a picture of her daughter. In the snapshot, Kova held a wooden plate with "eight months" written on it. Expressing her surprise, Emily captioned her Instagram story:
"When did this happen?!?"
In April, Baker Mayfield and Emily announced the birth of their first child through Instagram. The couple broke the news almost four months after announcing their pregnancy. Breaking the news of a healthy delivery, Emily penned down an emotional note and said:
"Baby girl joined us Tuesday night just before 7:30 pm. She is truly everything we prayed for and more. We’re enjoying life as a family of 4 - Fergus is so gentle & curious. Daddy is so smitten, and Mama wants to pause time forever & make these days last forever.”
Baker Mayfield’s wife Emily opened up about her emergency C-section during labor
Emily Mayfield's first delivery came with serious struggles. Following daughter Kova's delivery, Emily set up a Q&A on her Instagram story.
When a user asked her to open up about her "labor story" Emily recalled her emergency C-section and said:
"Long story short, I was induced, labored for about 24 hours, then ended in an emergency C-section after several failed interventions. Baby girl was stressed and ready to be out, and despite reallyyyy wanting to have a natural birth, it was the best option for keeping baby and mama safe! She was big girl and had her own plans...so mama listened!"
Another question that Emily came across was about how her husband Baker Mayfield "held up" while she was in labor. Opening up about the same, Emily wrote:
"He was SUCH a rockstar. Truly. Held my hand through the entire process, barely slept, gave me encouragement along with way, and absolutely never left my side. I had some complications right after the birthday, and he took on all parenting duties for 2ish hours - taking care of Koko and me.."
Baker and Emily are also active contributors to charity, as the couple runs their "Baker & Emily Mayfield Foundation" together to give back to the community. The foundation's donations worth $17,900 recently turned into lifesavers for the high school football team Space Coast Vipers.
