SOLANO COUNTY, Calif. (KNX) — A Vacaville family captured a life-changing moment right on their Ring security camera.
Emily Johnson was a week away from her due date, but around 6:30 p.m. Nov. 4, she began feeling contractions.
She told KCRA she and her husband, Michael, believed they had plenty of time to make it to the hospital that was only minutes. She said she even had plans to get an epidural.
"Then the contractions went from three minutes to two minutes to one minute in a matter of 20 to 30 minutes, and we are like, 'Oh, we got to get into the car we have to go,'" she recalled.
The couple made it to the driveway when Emily realized she couldn’t get into the car and instead went on the front lawn.
"I'm just like, 'I'm going to get on the grass. I'm going to be here. This is my spot,’” she said.
30 minutes later at 10:42 p.m. Emily had given birth to her second child, Thomas, on her hands and knees on the grass outside her house, according to Good Morning America.
Rescue crews arrived just as the baby did and took the new mom and her son to the hospital.
Emily’s mother, Kristy Sparks, described the ordeal to KCRA as “surreal”, having arrived to the house moments before the baby came into the world.
Then the couple realized their Ring security camera had captured the whole thing.
"I was like, 'Oh, this is going to be on the camera,'" Michael told the news outlet. ”I'm going to watch this and we share this."
