Two Year Old Helps Deliver Baby Brother

Olive Branch, Ms - We've all heard the saying "kids having kids" but about "babies delivering babies." One Olive Branch two year old helped his mother deliver his baby brother on the living room couch.

Shea Favazza was getting ready for baby number four. The 28 year old mother of three was ready for her second little girl. Her delivery was scheduled a few weeks before Christmas. Her bundle of joy came much earlier than expected, on her couch. If that wasn't shocking enough, an even bigger surprise after the delivery!

Joshua Taylor is literally doing flips about the birth of his baby brother, Kamron James Taylor, after his father.

Shea Favazza was having stomach pains last Friday.

"It didn't hurt, just felt like I needed to use the bathroom, so I just kept on going to the bathroom," says Favazza.

What she thought was an overactive bladder, was actually labor pains. Home alone with her 2 and 3 year old sons, she quickly called her mom.

"I was like, I'm having my baby, my water broke." Favazza waited on the couch for help. "He went and grabbed a towel for me, and sat right there beside me."

Help was as close as it gets. Her two year old son was it.

"I pulled my legs all the way back, and said just catch him."

Joshua waited. Two pushes later, Kamron was out!

"He caught him, he caught him in the towel, I mean I was holding too."

"I'm gonna be honest, this one was the easiest, it happened so fast and so quick. I couldn't believe it, it was weird.'

More bizarre than the entire ordeal, was finally seeing her premature newborn.

"Its not a girl, its a boy, I had 2 doctors tell me it was supposed to be a girl, and its a boy."

So much for a baby girl and her December 5th scheduled C-section. He's sleeping now, but Friday, he was action packed, giving this family something to talk about for a long time to come.

"He has a heck of a story to tell."

Mom and baby are doing well. Doctors told Shea she was lucky she didn't suffer from any major internal bleeding.
