On thursday, the dallas cowboys quarterback welcomed his first child, a baby girl. She was born on leap day, so she will celebrate her actual birthday every four years.
During a children’s cancer fund event in dallas on monday, prescott, 30, told reporters, “i feel different,” adding that fans can call his daughter mj. “when you wake up in the morning and see that baby, you understand responsibilities.”
And all that i’ve always wanted for myself, but you want it for someone else even more. It’s special, really.” The baby and her mother, prescott’s mother, sarah jane ramos, are both “doing great,” according to him, and all three are back at home.
Prescott said he’s changed a “handful” of diapers, including the first one, and is now trying to “pass it along.” In november, the couple announced that they were expecting their first child.
The quarterback said he was looking forward to having a daughter in honor of his mother, who died of cancer in 2013.
“i do need a girl,” a woman says. At the time, he said, “i’m blessed, thankful.” “even if everyone knows what my mom means to me, i’m excited about being able to raise a little girl.” “i’m excited for all of the challenges ahead.”
Last season, the cowboys claimed the nfc east title and were the no. 1 team in the nfl. In the playoffs, there is no one but two seeds. In the wild card round, they were defeated by the green bay packers.
Prescott was named to his third pro bowl after throwing for 4,516 yards and leading the league with 36 touchdown passes.
His dallas contract expires at the end of the season, and if he does not sign a free agent with the cowboys, he will be a free agent.
