Iman Shumpert has had quite the eventful few days.

The Cleveland Cavaliers guard finally returned to the court last Friday after missing the team’s first 21 games with a wrist injury. On Wednesday morning, Shumpert’s fiancée, Teyana Taylor, gave birth to the couple’s baby girl, terrifically named Iman Shumpert Jr.

But apparently the big moment wasn’t without some drama.

Taylor, who documented the event in an Instagram post, said she didn’t realize she was in labor until she could feel her baby’s head. She then delivered the baby in her own bathroom, with Shumpert assisting by tying a pair of red headphones around the newborn’s umbilical cord until an ambulance arrived.

On Dec 16th at 6:42am in our bathroom Junie decided she wanted to take her first breath into this world. She came out as a wonderful surprise to everyone! Not knowing I was in labor until I felt her head...it took two ten count pushes with my fiancé playing Dr and she entered this world into his bare hands! Eyes full of tears and barely able to speak to the emergency operator @imanshumpert tied a pair of red headphones around the umbilical cord and the ambulance made there grand entrance 5 min later. She opened her eyes right away, gazed into mine and never cried! He handed her to me wrapped in our bath towel and wiped her face for me to see what LOVE really is. She has blown Christmas away! Our family is complete. Her blueprint will be unmatched. Welcome Iman Tayla Shumpert Jr. Mommy carried you. Daddy delivered you. #MeetTheParents we love you baby girl💂🏾🐞👶🏾

This is a pretty incredible moment, but that part about the headphones is going to be an awesome story to tell their daughter one day.
