Katie Krause Mork is officially a girl mom of two!
The former Extra correspondent, 38, and her husband Jason welcomed their second baby together, daughter Emma Erin Mork, on Thursday, Aug. 8, Krause Mork shared in an Instagram post on Sunday, Aug. 11.
Baby Emma arrived at 2:53 p.m. and weighed 6 lbs, 3 oz. at birth. The couple noted that the newborn made her “big debut early” as Krause Mork was “scheduled for delivery on August 13 at a tad over 37 weeks.”
“I will share more later but our doctors literally saved her life. 🥹,” the Between Us Moms podcast host shared. “I went in for a second NST and they noticed her heart wasn’t quite doing what it should be. I had been having some blood pressure spikes the past few weeks but blood work was normal and I did not have pre-eclampsia. I got hooked up to an ultrasound after the failed NST and was immediately sent to the hospital.”
“J rushed home from work and I drove myself to the hospital — contractions were two minutes apart. Our little M&M babe was born via a second c-section less than two hours later. What a day. Turns out the cord was wrapped around her neck 🥺. She is thriving though and needed zero nicu time for being a 36 weeker! She’s eating like a champ, sounds like a baby dragon and is as cute as can be.”
