Shape: DiamondA week after their engagement, Giuliana became very sick. She thought she was coming down with the flu with all the vomiting she had been doing. It was when she discussed her symptoms with her friend Elsa, who had jokingly suggested that she probably was pregnant, that Giuliana raised her brow. To come to think of it, she didn't remember getting a visit from Aunt Flo the past month. She had been so busy with work that she completely lost track, and she'd be the first to admit she wasn't the best when it came to taking her BC pill on time. Panicked, Giuliana ran - almost literally - to the closest drug store and bought three packs of home pregnancy tests. One by one, each had a positive result. Giuliana was in shock. She called Aaron, who had been away for a game that weekend, and told him. They decided to wait until he returned that they could go to the doctor together to confirm the pregnancy. And, sure enough, it was official - they were going to have a baby. It was then that the news sank in and Giuliana and Aaron both shed tears of joy. A month and a half later, Giuliana and Aaron told their families. Everyone was excited to be welcoming the newest addition. -- Including the public! First an engagement, now a baby! News of the pregnancy was posted over several, well-known tabloid magazines, of which Giuliana despised. Giuliana and Aaron decided they were going to wait until after the birth of their baby to get married. They were in no rush.On a VERY rare snowy, mid-December night in London, Giuliana began having contractions. They came quick and not-so-far apart. Then her water broke. Her baby was planning to arrive two weeks earlier than expected -- and Aaron was away in Spain for a match. She called her doctor to inform her about her contractions and she said to come into the hospital for delivery. Terrified, Giuliana called Aaron's sister Jane, who only lived a few minutes away, to tell her the news. Jane arrived and took Giuliana to the hospital. On the car ride over, Giuliana called Aaron to inform him of the baby's early arrival. Aaron told Giuliana that he'd leave immediately and to try to "keep her in there" until he got there. Giuliana hung up on him. It was a short 10 minute drive to the hospital where Giuliana was admitted. After a quick examination, Giuliana was told she'd have the baby within the next two hours and they would began pushing shortly. Forty-five minutes later, san epidural and her husband, Giuliana gave birth to a beautiful baby girl. Aaron may have not been there physically, but he was on the phone that Jane held up to Giuliana has she gave birth. Thankfully, he did hear his daughter's first cry. A few hours later, Aaron arrived, a wreck that he missed his daughter's birth. He burst into the room, crying. He cried even more when he held his daughter for the first time. But he was, of course, a very proud father and husband.And so it was: Giuliana and Aaron welcomed their daughter, Celia Anne Hayden, on December 14 at 1:10 a.m., weighing 7lbs, 7 oz and 20 inches long, with brown hair and blue eyes.
On one of the rare nights Aaron and Giuliana were able to catch a bit of sleep, Aaron woke up in the middle of the night in pain, clutching his right foot. He said he felt like his big toe was on fire. It looked it too - it was swollen and red. Concerned, Giuliana drove Aaron, baby in tow, to the hospital. After a physical exam and fluid sample, the doctor told Aaron he had gout, a form of arthritis. With a cortisone shot and a prescription, the doctor sent them on their way. But Aaron was a little more concerned about this than the doctor seemed to be. His career relies on the ability for him to use his feet. Giuliana tried to comfort Aaron on his diagnosis, reminding him that this was just the first time and it may not return. This calmed Aaron's nerves a bit but in the back of his mind, he knew it could. The next day, Aaron told the team trainers and doctors of the incident and they decided it would be best for him sit out the next two to three matches. They also recommended that Aaron make a slight change to his diet. He was always a healthy eater but they suggested he should cut back on meat, poultry and seafood consumption to three times a week, and only 6 oz, and stop drinking beer to help reduce uric acid levels.
