As per Miesha, she had announced the news on social media about her planning to have the baby in a local hospital. However, the birth of her son was unexpected, and she had to perform the delivery in her home.
She stated that she had to make a quick decision not to call an ambulance when the baby’s head started crowning, and she had to step up and prepare for the delivery. While she had a hard time on her first delivery as her first child, Amaia’s delivery was three-day-long labor, but her son came quickly and unexpectedly.
Amalia and Daxton are both relatively young and have a bright future. It will be intriguing to see if the two will follow in their parents’ footsteps. Tate is blessed and grateful to have them in her life.
