Chipper Jones wasn't the only Atlanta sports figure anxiously awaiting the birth of a child.
Falcons offensive guard Andy Levitre and his wife, Katie, were expecting the birth of a child, too.
On Saturday, as the Falcons roared to victory over the Seattle Seahawks, Katie went into labor while watching the game at the Georgia Dome.
A moment she was hoping wouldn’t happen:
Katie Levitre, a former swimsuit model and NFL cheerleader, even tweeted during the game, retweeting an NFL video of Andy Levitre spiking the football following a touchdown.
After the game, she waited for her husband to go through his usual post-game routine before heading out in Atlanta traffic.
The two were at an Atlanta hospital within hours awaiting the birth of their daughter, Lily, at 12:07 a.m. Sunday - about four hours after the game ended.
Levitre was aquired by the Falcons before the 2016 season in a trade from the Tennessee Titans for a 6th round draft pick.
