My first thought was, I love Bucc-ee’s! My second thought was did she save any money by giving birth in the parking lot, or are they going to make up the difference in some vague made up medical fee. I am so disillusioned with the medical field. But never disillusioned with Bucc-ee’s!

3am in the morning, is a bit of a nightmare, for anyone, and I am glad that I never had to go through something like that.

I can't imagine, since both my deliveries were day long torture at the hospital!

The daughter of one of my friends had her baby in the car on the way to the hospital. Her husband was driving her, she screamed for him to help so he called 911 and said he was pulling over to help his wife have her baby. The police got there very quickly--with about one minute to spare!
It' good that the baby was born safely, George. I am glad they didn't name their baby girl after it's birthplace, She never would have lived down being called Buc-ee's!

Wow. That will be a story to tell.
"Mom, where was I born?"
"Well honey, that's quite a story..."

That is true since there are stories of babies being born in fast food restaurants.

It was good the baby was delivered without too much drama. I would have needed instructions too.
