Brooks Koepkais a dad!
“Crew Sims Koepka was ready for the world because he decided to break my water just 2 minutes after Brooks walked inside the house from the gym on Thursday, July 27th at 5:50 pm. 6 weeks ahead of my due date. Already showing who’s boss 😉,” Sims shared on her Story.
“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. 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,” she continued. “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.”
“He is already such an amazing father and partner and I was so thankful he was home for this. Couldn’t have done it without him.”
“He made me laugh when I needed to, cried with me, held me, did everything possible he could do to help my healing in the hospital, and I’m just so grateful 🥺,” she said.
“Crew is going to be in the NICU for a little while longer (and please refrain from asking, we don’t know yet),” she added. “He’s off oxygen (🙏🏻), breathing on his own, he is starting to take a bottle (in very small amounts) otherwise feeding through his nose. He is meeting tiny milestones every day!”
“Finally turned a corner with the pain, and my 🍼 is cooperating (praise)! Not being around him constantly is an added hurdle, along with so much else emotionally,” the new mom said.
