But in the back of my mind, I guess I wondered, \u2018Could it be?\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Stacy further said that Mary Ann stood out as her favorite labor and delivery nurse \u2014 so much so, that she included her picture in Kelsey&#8217;s baby book. \u201cShe was with me the entire time, telling me, \u2018Honey, it\u2019s going to be okay,\u2019\u201d Stacy said. \u201cWhen Kelsey was born, she handed her to me and said, \u2018Welcome to the world, princess.\u2019 I just always remembered her kindness.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In a Good Morning America video, Kelsey and Mary Ann sat together as they discussed the incredible connection they now share.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Twenty-two years ago, almost to the day, I had this cute couple in labor,&#8221; Mary Ann recalled. &#8220;I remember she was really nervous because she was having her third baby, three under three, saying, &#8216;I&#8217;m not ready for a third, and I don&#8217;t know how the first two are going to handle this.&#8217; And I had just given birth to my third a year ago, and was just letting her know, &#8216;You got this, girl. It&#8217;s fine.&#8217; It was a great experience. They were just a cute couple, we got along really well.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Mary Ann then explained that the third baby she was talking about was her son Tyler, who became Kelsey&#8217;s husband.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;When I was talking to Stacy and explained to her that I just had my third baby, and I&#8217;m a working mom, and&#8230; that was Tyler!&#8221; she said. &#8220;The baby I had just delivered, my third baby. So that&#8217;s the baby that she grew up to marry.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Kelsey joked, &#8220;I like to think I heard that, and then just took it, and ran with it, and found him.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Mary Ann responded, &#8220;I love it!
