Airport Tries to Make Husband FaceTiming Wife Board Plane—Then He Yells “She Popped Out!”

“(Millie was delivered by a different Dr. who was not aware of the situation) My Doctor told her to pull the phone out and show him what was going on. Brooks was telling me it was okay, and I was doing so good and I heard him wincing and saying ‘wow!’ through my pushes. I could hear people in the airport talking and cheering!

Brooks then went on to say that they were making him board and needed to get off as soon as she finally started to crown and all I remember was my Doctor screaming ‘Don’t let him board the flight! She’s here! She’s here!’ So, the airport personnel let him sit there and watch till it was over!”

“Push, push, push, push, push! You got it,” Lindsey said. “Here she comes then boop! She popped out.”

Another passenger, Tracy Dover, captured the proud father’s emotional reaction to Millie being born.

“I’m thinking, Oh my gosh,” said Dover. “He’s watching his baby be born on the phone and it was the most gut-wrenching, heartbreaking thing I’d ever seen.”

“When we heard the baby cry, then just that whole section that was heading to Mississippi just started cheering,” she added.

“This Army soldier was on my delayed flight home yesterday to MS,” Dover later shared on Facebook. “He had to watch the birth of his daughter on FaceTime. He was crying and our hearts were breaking. We all gave him space. When we heard the baby cry, we all rejoiced for him. I wanted to share this because I never want us to forget about our soldiers who serve us everyday and the sacrifices they make.”
