"About 10:30 p.m. I felt my water break and knew we needed to get to the hospital quickly. My first baby was delivered very quickly and I just knew this little one was on his way and fast."

"I called my doctor who said to meet him at the hospital emergency room. I also had called the neighbor to come watch my older son. My husband rushed me to the hospital going, at times, over 100 mph because this baby wanted to be born in the backseat."

"We finally made it to the hospital and I crawled in the hospital bed at 11:05 p.m. I was 10 cm upon arrival and little Josh was born at 11:21 p.m. 51 minutes to be exact after my water broke. Luckily we made it to the hospital just in time."

"The wonderful NICU staff took excellent care of our little "early" special delivery. He is home and doing well. Who knew Labor Day really meant "labor day"!"
