Following up on last week’s thread on tech fabrics, I’m here to say a good fleece can be invaluable in ways you’d never figure.
Long story short, at 00:55 11/12 my wife gave birth to our second child in the front seat of the car, on the way to the hospital. The quickest thing I could think of to wrap our new daugher in was the fleece jacket I was wearing. Baby girl stayed nice and warm into the L&D room, and one washing later the fleece is as good as new.
So, wear your tech fabrics, you never know when you’ll need them!
(I’m not as dedicated to the forum as Demerly, I wasn’t able to get a shot of our daughter in the fleece on the way. Busy driving and all that!)
Congrats, now whenever you wear that jacket you can think of that night. Must have been a short labor, perhaps a future triathlete practicing her transition time.
Wow, amazing. In the front seat of all places. Did you deliver your daughter. Either way, thats awesome. I’m a doctor and I still get chills with the idea of delivering my kid in the car. Luckily, my wife and I got to the hospital last month in time for our new son. Congrats.
Nice job Tim; congrats to you and your wife. I hope all is well with the new one and make sure the older one gets lots of love during all the fuss.
Almost had a front seat delivery for our first but I decided to take driving risks instead to make it to the hospital. Our daughter was out in the world ten minutes after shutting off the engine. Close one.
Great pic of a beautiful mommy and baby. You just look goofy;-)
Tim- Congratulations on your beautiful daughter’s safe arrrival. I agree, you were the one who saved the day. What a great story to tell the little one when she’s older. Everyone looks so happy, and healthy, in the picture. Thanks for sharing.
I second the motion to save it as a gift for her later in life. I’m saving the doctors scrub top given to me during birth of my daughter. It’s label with “The Newborn Inn”. It’ll be a gift for her upon the birth of her first child…
