Pete Wentz got more than he bargained for when his son, Saint Lazslo, was born on August 20. Apparently, as he waited in the delivery room with in-labor girlfriend Meagan Camper, the doctor insisted he slap on some scrubs and get in there.
“It was crazy. The doctor was like, ‘You’re going to help, you’re going to deliver this baby,’” Wentz said on Ryan Seacrest’s radio show on Thursday (shout-out to Us for harvesting this gem). “And I was like, ‘Oh my god, I’m not ready.’”
And even though Wentz has experience with babies (ex-wife Ashlee Simspon gave birth to his son in 2008), the Fall Out Boy bassist wasn’t prepared for this.
“I put on the scrubs and gloves and stuff and did the delivery,” he told Seacrest. “After the head came out, I was there, you know, and all I could think was, ‘Please do not drop this baby.’”
“Newborn babies are super slippery,” he said.
Fall Out Boy recently released their new song, “Centuries,” while bandmate Patrick Stump revealed that he will become a dad too. The FOB frontman and wife Elisa Yao are expecting their first child at the end of October. Maybe Stump can get some hands-on tips from Wentz?
