A baby was born in a McDonald's restroom in Vancouver, Wash, and the mother didn't even know she was pregnant.
It was the evening shift last Friday at the fast-food restaurant when employee Danille Miller suddenly felt ill and ran for the bathroom. Her 16-year-old co-worker, Jaynae Herrera, followed "I was like are you pregnant?" Herrera asked. "Because she was in the bathroom, and I'm like, are you pregnant? She says, I don't think so. A couple minutes later, she says the baby is coming out, and that's when I started freaking out."
Herrera, with the assistance of a 911 dispatcher, helped her deliver baby Austin Laddusaw, and both mother and baby are fine. Miller said, "I was so shocked I couldn't talk. I was shaking the whole time. I didn't stop shaking until three the next morning. My sister stayed the night with me."

(Also, Vancouver is in British Columbia, Canada-- not Washington. :-))
Check this out: There are (at least) 2 Vancouvers! One is in Canada and one is in the US! How crazy is that! I'm told there are also 2 Georgias (at least), 2 Londons, 2 Moscows, 2 Syracuses, 2 Uticas, &c. I've been unable to verify all those of course, but wouldn't it be crazy if there were all these parallel worlds?
like, like, like, like....
My worry would be how healthy is the baby since she didn't know she was pregnant.
Like blo, I noticed she wasn't that big - so maybe she was just in denial? It's not just a river in Egypt, ya know...

Geez, hope she's enjoying that McDonald's career track.
All those factors added in... Man.. all the other countries are going to make fun of us (USA) for this. Talk about cliche meets symbolism.
Yikes.... *sigh*
i'm sure the girl's boss was thinking "future employee" when that kid popped out. poor thing...
And yes, there's a Vancouver, WA. I used to live in Puyallup, I aught to know!
It's good the baby appears healthy. I'm sad that this baby probably has a very poor future, with a single, teenage mother who refused to face the fact of her situation, and will probably now refuse to face the facts of what is really required to raise a healthy, happy child.
I live right down the street (less than 1/2 mile) from that location and my sister is actually good friends with the woman who delivered the baby. She told me all about it a few nights ago.
