All in the Family

It's a pretty incredible and touching story a grandfather and paramedic delivered his own grandchild Saturday morning after his daughter unexpectedly went into labor. Grandmother Kathleen Forsyth said her daughter called to tell the family she was going into labor and wasn't going to make it to the hospital. She and her husband David Forsyth, still in pajamas, rushed over to their daughter's house where paramedics were already getting the mother into an ambulance.

The baby could only wait long enough for her soon-to-be grandfather to arrive. As they took off for the hospital, delivery couldn't be avoided. That's when the he started helping deliver the baby. "I saw a little tuft of hair and I thought, "Uh-oh, we're gonna have a baby,'" he said. He said he was able to stay calm because not only is he a paramedic with the City of Orem but he's helped with a few deliveries.

"I got to be the first one to hold my granddaughter. it was pretty good," Forsyth said. Little Jane was delivered just before 6 a.m. Saturday morning. She is healthy and a pretty happy baby. The mother says that while of course having a child is special in itself, to have her father do the delivery made it that much more remarkable.
