This photo made available Saturday, Nov. 12, 2005 by Edward Hospital in Naperville, Ill. shows baby Gabrielle, born Friday, Nov. 11, 2005 after her mother gave birth in a taxicab en route to the hospital. When Gabrielle's mother realized she was having the baby, taxi driver Nedal Haddad immediately pulled onto the shoulder of the highway. He said the woman's relatives started screaming and were too panicked to offer assistance, so he ordered them out of the car, rushed to the back seat and delivered the baby himself.

Beautiful. Amid all the crummy things going on in the news, this is very heartwarming. Had to happen in America!

Some lawyer will butt in soon and find something wrong with this.

He will probably be sued, mark my words.

Excellent! I helped deliver a baby on the side of the road in Korea so I know how he feels.

HAH. Great story. Reminds me of when my youngest was born. I was in the hospital and they had just checked my progress. Suddenly, she was ready to be born and the doc ran back down the hall & the nurse, doctor and tech were telling me not to push

Um....yeah. I don't think the doc got his gloves on until AFTER she was born and I just remember towels flying and people yelling.

You just can't hold those kids back, folks!LOL

Wow thats what triple meter rates. Pretty pricey I bet. Still cheaper than going to the hospital I guess......
