Brooks Koepka and Jena Sims are officially parents!
On Aug. 3, the actress, 34, announced the happy news that she and her professional golfer husband, 33, welcomed their first child, a baby boy named Crew Sims Koepka.
Sims detailed her birthing experience in a set of slides shared via Instagram Story on Thursday afternoon.
"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 wrote.
"My incredible team had him out in a matter of 3 hours after going into active labor," she continued. "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 🫶🫶."
She added that her baby boy "came out crying and breathing," adding "everything went well."
As for how she's feeling after giving birth? She added, "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."
Continuing to gush over her husband, she said: "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.

While she admitted undergoing a C-section was not her first choice, "it was the only way to get him here safely." She further noted, "It's such a barbaric procedure but I'm taking each day step by step!"
Sims also noted that her son is slowly progressing in the right direction, though it's still too soon for the couple to take him home.
"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!"
"Leaving the hospital without your baby is something I wish on no one. It's the hardest thing we've ever done. There's so much space in my heart for NICU parents, and those who don't get to bring their babies home. 💔💔🙏🏻 We have been visiting him as much as possible, and know he's in the absolute best care."
Wishing mom and baby nothing but the best as they continue to recover.
