Barbara and Matt Helmer got a surprise when their new boy, Christopher, decided to make his debut a month early. In the car. On the side of the highway. A 911 transcript captured Matt's bravery and overwhelming sense of calm during the birth of his child.
"I'm not doing too good with this," he told a police dispatcher. "I might pass out." Thankfully the paramedics arrived in the nick of time, delivering little Christopher while Matt probably thought about buying a faster car.
The sad thing here is the complete lack of respect little Christopher has for his dad. Doesn't the newborn know his dad gets queasy? Couldn't he have waited just a few more minutes? Kids these days ....
The roadside birth didn't seem to bother mom Barbara, however. She doesn't recall much about dad's meltdown. "I didn't even have time," she said. "All I did was scream."
