Pete Wentz has literally been a hands-on dad since son Saint Laszlo took his first breath.
"Our doctor, she's so sweet, and she was like, 'You're going to deliver this baby,'" he explained to People while opening up about assisting girlfriend Meagan Camper with giving birth. "I was like, 'What? I just want to say I might not be qualified to do this.'"
"I'm like, 'Take a picture of me! This is the closest I'll be to being a doctor,'" he added with a laugh
"I pulled the baby out," the 35-year-old Fall Out Boy bassist continued. "It was the most magical moment and then I was like, ‘Don’t drop the baby.'
"[Babies are] very slippery … it’s like shooting out a water slide after they come out. But it was magical really, and that sounds so crazy to say, but it was."
Regarding Saint's somewhat unusual name, Pete Wentz recently tweeted:
I mean he is a Saint because he waited until tour was done to show up. He waited for dad to come home & we didn't have to cancel any shows.

As for what's new with his firstborn son, Bronx, the proud dad shared a message many of us can relate to this time of year:
First day of school too many emotions

My own husband was right by my side during the births of our two sons, holding one of my legs and taking the occasional peek at the progress, but wasn't invited to takeover for the doctor at any paint. I'm not sure he would have, even if the offer had been made because even just cutting the cord weirded him out a bit, but what an amazing experience for Pete Wentz to have had!
