• Emily Johnson of Vacaville, California, didn't think it was time to go to the hospital when her contractions were 10 minutes apart on Nov. 4 -- but then they quickly started coming faster, and as Emily and her husband headed to the car, she knew it was too late.
"I'm going to be here. This is my spot," she said to her husband, Michael, according to KCRA-TV.
Emily's mom, Kristy Sparks, was with the couple and helped Emily deliver baby Thomas on the lawn just as rescue crews pulled up to the scene.
"By the time they walked up to me, I had a baby in my arms crying," Sparks said. "It was unreal."
Bonus: Emily will always be able to relive the scene because the entire event was caught on her doorbell camera.
(Fortunately, Emily noted, she was facing away from the camera.) [KCRA, 11/11/2021]
