On Saturday, Ravens running back Justin Forsett thought he and his wife were going to have a perfect Valentine’s Day of Shake Shack and a Lauryn Hill concert. The next thing he knew, he was on the verge of getting ready to deliver his baby in his car on the side of the road. Forsett wrote about the experience on SportsBlog. Some highlights:

About halfway there, these contractions are getting really bad. Angie’s squeezing my hand and yelling. My son’s in the back yelling and crying because she’s yelling and crying. The nursery rhyme CD he likes is blasting. At this point, she’s throwing up. It’s crazy right now in the car. I was trying to be the calm one in the vehicle. Internally, I’m freaking out.
Just get us there safely and fast. The contractions are like four minutes apart. When we were getting close, she looks at me and screams, “He’s ready to come out!” Even though we are still about 30 minutes away, I keep telling her that we are almost there, to keep breathing, hold on. At one point, I’m thinking, man, we might have to stop this car and I might have to deliver this baby.
