The way babies are delivered... the story you tell your kids, at least.

It's not the next step in cyber-parenting, it's not even the announcement of a new service that might be rolled out in an indefinite future, it's just the strange happenings of two of the Googlers that were lucky enough each to lend a hand in the delivery of two babies.

Matthew, an engineer in the
Seattle/Kirkland office according to the official Google blog, arrived at work as usual but found that his expectant colleague Min was home sick. Nothing to worry about, he thought, as he knew that she was not due for another 17 days but he emailed her just to make sure it's ok. I would have personally used the phone for this job, I'm not all that email-involved-for-solving-everything but it looks like working in that particular field might do that to you. Min responded that she had thought that contractions had happened earlier but that everything was OK at the moment.

Just fifteen minutes later, he received a second email asking for his help with getting to the hospital right away. Of course he dropped everything that he was doing and rushed to her side and just as he entered her house she announced him that "The baby's out." All that was left for Matthew to do is to declare that "it's a boy" and wait for the ambulance that arrived seconds later.

The second to have such an experience was Jessica, one of the Mountain View tech writers who was on her way to the office from San Francisco. She noticed a man on the side of the street next to a car waving his hands so she naturally stopped to ask what was going on and to lend a hand. It was just then when she noticed the woman that was stretched and screaming in the backseat of the SUV she had stopped next to. Remembering her own experience, she tried her best to calm the family and answer their questions and did that for about 10 minutes until the police came and took over but by the time that happened, the baby was already born.

Some on-the-job experience, right? (Both babies are OK in case you were wondering about that...)
