Believe it or not!

My good friend just had her fourth baby...and it was a biggun'! Their beautiful baby boy was 10 lbs., 9 oz.!!!!! That's pretty crazy in and of itself, but here's the kicker...She went to the hospital on Sunday morning because her contractions were 5 minutes apart. And they stayed that way. All. Day. Long. So, the doctor sent her home. At 9 pm, they went back again, but once she was there, the contractions slowed back down to 8 minutes apart. Aaaarrrgggghhhh! Again, she was sent home. Finally, they left for the hospital on Monday morning around 5:30 am. Her contractions were becoming more intense, so she figured it was time to go. The hospital is about 20 minutes from their house, but she figured she had plenty of time. Well, on the way to the hospital, her water broke. She knew right then, that she was going to have the baby. They made it to the hospital and her husband pulled right in front of the ER to let them know they were there. However, there was no way in you-know-what that she was able to get out of the van. She had that huge baby in the front seat of her van! The ER nurse climbed in between the seat and the dash, and delivered the baby! Oh my goodness!!!! All I can say is that my friend deserves high accolades as a mom!
