My Fear Came True For This Lady

I sure hope this doesn't happen to me...

This is from our CNN news feed at work:

"Her job is to report the news.
--VO SCRIPT--
Today, this Chicago news woman is the one making the news.
A-B-C 7 anchor Judy Hsu says she went into labor overnight and was on her way to the hospital.
But, the baby couldn't wait.
Her husband, Tracy, pulled over to help deliver their son, Alexander James, on the side of an expressway.
Hsu says she's heard about these things happening to other people, but couldn't believe it actually happened to her.
--SOT--
'I think I was in denial the whole time. I did not want to pull over on the side of the expressway. But the time came, and I knew the baby couldn't wait. I said, 'OK, I think we better pull over and call 911.'
--TAG--
Mom and baby are doing just fine.
She's already given her little guy a nickname, "Ike," after the expressway where he was born.
He's her fourth child.
By the way, her husband says a story that aired on A-B-C 7 about another dad in his predicament came in handy.
It was about a man who used his shoelaces to tie off the umbilical cord. "
