Todd Miller sped south on Interstate 5, telling his wife, Jenny, not to push through her contractions.
The Brier couple were only a few miles from Northwest Hospital & Medical Center in Seattle on Friday when Jenny Miller felt the baby crowning and couldn't wait any longer. Todd, a registered nurse who works in an orthopedic clinic, pulled onto the shoulder and crouched below his wife.
It took only two pushes for Jenny Miller, 29, to deliver the couple's fourth child.
Shortly after 8 a.m., Ian McKay Miller, weighing 6 pounds, 7 ounces, was born feet from morning rush-hour traffic. Paramedics who responded to Todd Miller's 911 cellphone call let the 31-year-old father cut the umbilical cord.
"The baby is great, and I'm great," Jenny Miller said, speaking from her room at Northwest on Friday evening.
Jenny Miller, a stay-at-home mom, laughs at how quickly Ian was born. The baby's due date was Jan. 25.
"It was a big surprise. It has kind of taken a while to sink in," she said. "The other three I had epidurals with."
The Millers planned to bring Ian home Friday night so he could join his siblings, ages 3, 4 and 7.
