Jonathan Collins might have just been taking his title a little too seriously when on the day his baby girl was born.
By day, Collins is a propane delivery man near his Fremont, New Hampshire home, working hard to support his family, but by night, he works the most important job he’ll ever have as dad to two little boys, and now a baby girl, named Maeve.
Last week, Maeve decided to come into the world a little quickly, telling mom Marie Collins that it was time without any notice at all. Much like this shocking story about a mom giving birth in a parking lot, the new parents couldn’t even make it to the hospital. That’s when Jonathan turned from propane delivery man into the man who would deliver his own daughter.
“I didn’t even have to push,” Marie told local station WMUR . “I literally laid down and she was in his arms.”
Jonathan called police to send an ambulance immediately. “The 911 operator was telling me what to do from there – look for the baby’s head – but I didn’t have to look for the baby’s head, because her entire body was in my arms,” he told WMUR.
The new dad then tied his daughter’s umbilical cord off, like the 911 operator told him to with a shoelace he found under his bed. Baby Maeve was born healthy at 5-pounds and 9-ounces and her father has taken some time off his day job to welcome his most precious delivery at all.
“I hope that’s all she puts daddy through,” Jonathan said. “Nothing else. No other surprises down the line!”
