“All I heard the other day was, ‘When’s the baby coming? Is she here yet?’” Shaw said.
Shaw said she arrived at Miami Valley Hospital around 8:30 a.m. on New Year’s Eve. They were expecting her to arrive around Christmas, but Felicity “took her time,” Shaw said.
When asked how she was feeling Wednesday morning, the mother of two said she was tired and achy, but very happy.
“We’re very excited,” said Shaw. “It will be so exciting to see her little personality, what she’s like.”
Kimberly agreed.
“This is my baby,” she said, pointing at Felicity.
