A New Jacket is Born

Had a minute to make a quick post before heading back to the hospital with my 2 year old. Thanks for all the kind words. It is the greatest feeling in the world to see the birth of your child, and no less amazing the 2nd time around. And let me tell you, this one was more interesting than you think.

This was one of those "only in the movies stories". If you can believe it, IIIIIIIIII delivered the baby on the side of a highway in the grass halfway to the hospital. I won't go into details but it seems that my wife delivers faster than Neon-Deon used to run the 40. Halfway to the hospital, she had the realization that we would not make it...... She was right......... After gently letting me know I should stop, AT THE TOP OF HER LUNGS, I pulled over.

With the help of a 911 operator we finished up the entire process 10 minutes before the EMT and Ambulance arrived on the scene. We had gotten in the car at 12:45am, stopped the car at about 12:55am and the baby was born at 1:05am.

Surreal......Amazing........ Awesome....... No one word describes the exerience we had last night. Suffice it to say we are thanking God for helping us through it.

Baby and mom are doing wonderful and dad is hanging in there also. Thanks again for the kind words.

PS: CALVIN JOHNSON AIN'T GOT NOTHIN ON ME WHEN IT COMES TO MAKING THE CATCH IN THE CLUTCH.

GO JACKETS!!!! GT-NATION IS ALIVE AND WELL!!!
