Jonathan and Lesia Pettijohn were on the way to the hospital, but their little bundle of joy couldn’t wait.

They ended up stuck in heavy traffic, though, and their baby boy was apparently on his own schedule. Just a few minutes later a 10 POUND baby drops out of her uterus. Jonathan can be heard exclaiming in the background of the three-minute video uploaded to YouTube.
“I was probably freaking out way more than I should have”, she told KTRK-TV.
Sitting in the front passenger seat, the lady, named Lesia Pettijohn, can be seen screaming in pain and breathing through her contractions. “Finally I was like, wow, my shirt is pretty long, I’ll wrap him up in that”.
They also answered a popular question many people have. Her partner calmly asks her if she wants help before she realizes the baby is coming. “I was scared. I didn’t know if he’d be breathing okay”. The couple then exchange a high-five and the man tells the woman: “We did it”.
“I thought there was a possibility the baby was going to come in the vehicle”, he said.
When the couple finally arrived at the birthing centre, the staff were amazed that Lesia self-delivered a healthy, 10-pound boy. “That’s the first time we’ve ever had something like that happen, it’s not common”, said Griggs.

“And I was like, ‘Aaaah!’ We’re gonna have this baby in the vehicle”, he said.
