On the hospital's Facebook page, Watters is quoted as saying: "It’s not something you can control, but we wanted it. I gave it everything I had. And it worked, too, because he sure came right out."
"We’re still in shock," said Burke. "It’s a special thing and kind of spiritual."
The baby was delivered by Dr. Craig McKnight. The birth was natural, said O'Farrell, and not by Caesarean section.
Congratulations!
