*Tyler and Korey welcome their baby girl into the world! Enjoy! Love โ€ข Bree ๐Ÿ‘ถ๐Ÿป๐ŸŒธ๐Ÿ’–๐Ÿ’ž๐Ÿ’—๐Ÿ’‹

It has been a long but exciting night at the Oakley-Kuhl household!

Tyler went into labor at around 9:30pm and called his midwives right away! Tyler didn't want to be in labor without them being here, you never know how fast or slow labor can be!

Luckily, the boys are on spring break and this spring break they are spending it with Troye! Last year, they spent it with Tyler and Korey.

Troye took Archer and Sparrow a few days ago and they have had a fun spring break thus far! Korey texted Troye, to let him know that Tyler was in labor ans Troye told the boys right away!

Both Archer and Sparrow are extremely excited that their baby sister is on the way!

For the next few hours, Tyler labored at home with Korey and his two midwives, Bethanie and Tia by his side.

- 8:38am -
Tyler begins the pushing process in the pool, just like he wanted to do.

Tyler tries several pushing positions, trying to figure out which one is the most comfortable for him and most efficient.

Tyler has pushed a lot, but no baby Hazel yet. Tyler tries to not get discouraged because he knows this process can take a few hours, but he anxiously excited to meet his and Korey's baby girl.

Tyler is also learning how to push, since he didn't do this with the boys.

- Forty Five Minutes Later -
Tyler is in another pushing position and has been pushing for almost ten minutes. Tia and Bethanie know Hazel is almost coming and they are happily encouraging Tyler to push when he has urges too.

Tyler pushes again and Bethanie and Tia both smile as they see the slightest tip of Hazel's head. Tyler holds onto Korey as he pushes, which Korey doesn't mind at all.

Tyler grunts loudly as he takes a few deep breaths. Korey rubs a cool washcloth on Tyler's face as Tyler groans a little.

"Great job, baby. I am so freaking proud of you." Korey says, kissing Tyler's forehead.

Tyler moans as he repositions himself as he take some deep breaths.

"Mmmm, mmmm, mmmm." Tyler hums loudly as he tries to get comfortable.

Korey kisses Tyler again as he rubs Tyler's arm, comforting him the best he can.

"You are doing incredible, Tyler!" Bethanie says encouraging Tyler with a big smile.

"My pushes aren't working at all!" Tyler says, getting tired and frustrated of pushing with no results.

"Yes, they are! They really are, Tyler! She is starting to show now!" Tia says with excitement.

"Really?" Tyler says, realizing that all of this hard work he has been doing is finally working.

"Yes! The slightest tip of her head is showing now! And you have been pushing amazingly!" Bethanie says happily rubbing Tyler's lower back some before she places her hand where Hazel's head is.

Tia also rubs Tyler's back to help with the pain while Bethanie lights a flashlight with her free hand, so everyone can see Tyler's progress.

"Do you see her, Korey? That's the tip of her head!" Tia says happily to Korey and Korey smiles.

Korey looks and smiles ear to ear at Tia and Bethanie as he sees his daughter's head showing.

Tyler groans loudly as he continues to breathe through the pain he is feeling.

"I sure do! Wow! That's crazy and is so cool!" Korey says with a humungous smile on his face.

"Tyler, don't let her go back in! Don't let all of your progress and hard work go away!" Bethanie says as Tyler pushes again.

Tyler pushes hard, his cheeks turning red as he squeezes Korey's arm tightly and grunts loudly, not wanting to go backwards with his progress because after all it's taken almost an hour to get her down the birth canal and for her head to finally show.

"Beautiful Tyler! Keep going! Keep going! That's it! That's it!" Bethanie says loudly with a big smile.

"Push push push! Push push push!" Tia encourages Tyler as he pushes.

Korey happily watches Hazel's head slowly come out as Tyler pushes, getting excited but nervous about her arrival!

"Uhhhhhh!" Tyler yells as he takes a few deep breaths.

Korey rubs another cool washcloth on Tyler's forehead while Tyler breathes.

"Take some deep breaths and push just like that! That's was a great push, Tyler!" Tia says proudly as she helps Tyler keep one of his legs back.

"Hey Korey, do you mind helping me with Tyler's other leg?" Tia asks Korey with a grin.

"Yup, I definitely can!" Korey says happily to Tia.

"Great! This helps Tyler a lot when he pushes. He can focus on pushing and not having to hold his legs back." Tia says as Korey smiles and helps hold Tyler's other leg back.

"You are doing amazing, Tyler! Just push her head into my hand just like that!" Bethanie says to Tyler as she keeps her hand near Hazel's head.

Tyler feels Hazel's head slightly go back in, so he pushes hard again.

Tyler grunts loudly as he pushes again and Hazel's head begins to slowly appear some more. Korey happily looks on and smiles ear to ear.

"Push push push! Push push! That's it! That's it! Beautiful, Tyler!" Tia says as Tyler pushes.

"Push hard! Push push! There you go! That's the way! That's it!" Bethanie says happily.

"There you go, baby. You got it! You got it!" Korey whispers as Tyler groans loudly.

"Uhhhhhh!" Tyler yells as he takes a few deep breaths.

Korey kisses Tyler's cheek and rubs Tyler face with a cool washcloth as Tyler breathes.

"Beautiful! We see more of her head now! Excellent job! You are pushing amazingly! Each push her head slowly comes out more!" Bethanie says happily.

"She has lots of dark hair too, it's beautiful!" Tia says as she continues to rub Tyler's lower back.

"She has dark hair like me, baby!" Korey says to Tyler, so excited to see Hazel.

Tyler groans a little as he takes a few more deep breaths.

"You are doing great, Tyler! Excellent job! Her head is right here." Bethanie says as she continues to rub Tyler's lower back when she can.

"It really burns! It burns so fucking much!" Tyler yells as he continues to breathe.

"We know it does. We know. But you are doing it! You have to push through the burning and then she will be here and in your arms!" Tia says to Tyler as Tyler moans a little.

"That's the ring of fire, that's normal! She is almost here, Tyler! You are doing it!" Bethanie says happily.

Tyler pushes a little and grunts loudly, pushing Hazel's head out a little more.

"Push push! Push push!" Tia says happily.

"That's the way! That's it, Tyler! Push her head out! You got it! You got it! Beautiful! Push her head out more you got it!" Bethanie says as Tyler grunts.

"Uhhhh! Is her head coming out at all? I feel like my pushes aren't working!" Tyler says as he breathes.

"Yes! Everytime you push her head comes out more! It goes back in just a little and that's what happens when you push but it isn't going in all the way in which is great! You are pushing beautifully, Tyler!" Bethanie explains as she places her hand near Hazel's head.

Korey rubs Tyler's shoulders and kisses Tyler's cheek. Korey knows Tyler is tired after laboring all night and pushing for almost an hour, but he knows Hazel is almost here!

"She is right there. I see her, Ty. You can do it. You can do it, baby." Korey whispers to Tyler moans.

"You are doing amazing! Beautiful pushing!" Tia says with a smile at Tyler.

Korey softly kisses Tyler's cheek as Tyler breathes.ย 

"Next time you push, push nice and easy, okay? Nice and slow so you won't tear." Bethanie says as she places her hand near Hazel's head again.

"Okay." Tyler says, taking more deep breaths and gets in a comfortable position to deliver.

"You are doing such an amazing job! Such an amazing job!" Bethanie says to Tyler.

"Keep your legs open wide too. It helps your pelvis be more open for her to come out." Tia says happily to Tyler.

Tyler opens his legs up more and breathes. Korey rubs Tyler's arm softly and smiles at him.

"That's a great position, Tyler. Great job! Just push when you have an urge to. You are doing so well." Bethanie says as Tyler breathes.

Tyler pushes as gently as he can, grunting loudly. Korey watches in amazement, watching the birth of his first child.

"That's it, Tyler! That's it! Go go go!" Bethanie says in excitement as Hazel's head slowly comes out some more.

"Push, push push! There you go! There you go! Push push!" Tia says happily as Bethanie holds Hazel's head.

"Ahhhhh!" Tyler yells as he finishes pushing to take some deep breaths.

"Beautiful job! You are doing incredible! Her head is almost out! One more big push and her head will be out!" Bethanie says with a big smile.

"Her head feels fucking huge!" Tyler yells as he tries to take some deep breaths.

"I know it feels like that! You are doing absolutely amazing! Beautiful pushing!" Tia says with a smile.

"One more big push and her head is going to be out, Tyler!" Bethanie says as Tyler takes some deep breaths.

Korey smiles ear to ear as he continues to rub Tyler's shoulders. Tyler moans a little due to the pain.

"Do you want to feel her head, Tyler? You definitely can!" Tia says as Tyler nods and Tia helps Tyler put his hand down there and feels Hazel's head.

"That's your baby girl! All of this hard work is almost over!" Bethanie says as she smiles at Tyler.

"Is this her hair?" Tyler asks Bethanie and Bethanie happily nods.

"Yes! She has a head full of hair! Look I'll show you with a mirror." Bethanie says putting a small mirror in the water so Tyler can see her head.

"Korey, do you want to feel too?" Tia asks Korey and Korey quickly shakes his head no.ย 

"No, I'm good!" Korey says as Tyler holds onto him and breathes.

"Are you ready, Tyler?" Bethanie asks Tyler as she places her hand on Hazel's head again.

"Mhm!" Tyler says as he takes deep breaths.

"Okay, nice big push! Push as hard as you can!" Bethanie says with a big smile at Tyler.

Tyler takes a deep breath and pushes down hard, grunting loudly.

"Push push push! Push push push! A little more! A little more!" Tia says happily to Tyler.

Tyler screams loudly as Hazel's head finally comes out.

"AHHHHH! AHHHH! AHHHH!" Tyler yells loudly.

"Breathe, breathe, breathe. Take deep breaths. Deep breaths." Tia says as Tyler groans loudly.

Bethanie makes sure the umbilical cord isn't around Hazel's neck and it isn't.

Tyler takes some deep breaths as he holds onto Korey tightly. Korey kisses Tyler's cheek as he watches in lots of excitement.

"Beautiful job, Tyler! Your baby girl is right here!" Bethanie says to Tyler.

"WOW THAT FUCKING HURT!" Tyler yells as he breathes through the pain he is feeling.

"I know it hurts. But you are almost done! You can do it! You are doing it!" Tia says happily to Tyler.

"Tyler, do you want Korey to help catch the baby with you?" Tia asks Tyler and Tyler nods.

"Uh huh!" Tyler says as he continues breathes.

"Give us the biggest push you can and she will be here!" Bethanie says to Tyler with a cheeky grin.

Tyler pushes hard one last time and screams loudly as he, Korey and Bethanie all catch Hazel!

At 9:38 am, Hazel Rose is born!

Korey and Bethanie help place Hazel on Tyler's chest and Hazel begins to cry, causing Tyler to cry as well.

"There she is!" Tia says with a humungous smile.

After ten hours of natural labor and one hour of pushing, Tyler finally has his and Korey's baby girl.

"You did it, baby! You did it!" Korey says proudly as he gives Tyler lots of kisses.

"I can't believe I did that! Holy fucking shit!" Tyler says as he takes some deep breaths, calming down from the adrenaline from giving birth.

"You did fantastic, Tyler! That was so beautiful!" Bethanie says with a big smile.

Bethanie and Tia than help Tyler sit in the birth pool so he can get some rest before getting out.

"There you go. You can sit a relax for a little bit! Your placenta is going to come out in a few." Bethanie says to Tyler.

"That's not going to hurt is it?" Tyler asks Bethanie.

"A little bit, but nothing like a baby does!" Bethanie says as Tyler relaxes.

"Thank God!" Tyler says, causing Bethanie and Tia both giggle.

Hazel cries loudly as Tia rubs her back with a towel, getting some of the phlegm out of her mouth before covering her up.

"Hi, Hazel! Happy birthday, sweet girl! Happy birthday!" Tia says places a few more towels on Hazel to keep her warm.

"Hi, baby girl! Hi! You are so adorable, aren't you? You look so much like your Daddy! Yeah!" Tyler says in a babyfied voice as he looks down at Hazel and Hazel lays on his chest.

"She is a little cutie pie!" Tia says happily.

"Lots of hair too! My goodness!" Bethanie says with a cheeky grin.

"I had heart burn everyday with her!" Tyler says as he gives Hazel some kisses.

"Her hair is thick and gorgeous! She won't be a bald baby that's for sure!" Tia says with a smile.

"You have Daddy's hair, yes you do! You aren't a blondie like Mommy, huh? Or a red head like your big brother, Archer. Sparrow is going to be excited that you and him have dark brown hair together!" Tyler says with a big grin.

Korey softly rubs Hazel's head and back and tears up at finally being a father.

"She is your twin, baby." Tyler says softly to Korey as he looks up at him.

"You think so? I see some of you!" Korey says with a cheeky smile.

"No, she is all you!" Tyler says as he holds Hazel close.

Tyler and Hazel stay in the birth pool for another fifteen minutes before they go on the bed to rest.

Korey, Tyler and Hazel all spend much needed time with each other before Archer and Sparrow arrive home!

Korey and Tyler cannot believe that their baby girl is finally here! ๐Ÿ’–
