Steelers baby

I heard about this on the Bruce Elliott show last night

A woman from Upper St. Clair owes a big thanks to two of her neighbors today.

Beth Gardner’s neighbors helped deliver her baby on the Parkway West.

State police got a call around 9:30 p.m. last night that a woman was in labor near the Green Tree exit.

Neighbors? Why yes.

Gardner’s neighbors were driving her to the hospital because her husband was watching the Steelers game last night.

Yikes.

She gave birth to a baby girl. Both are fine and resting today at Magee Women's Hospital.

The husband is currently on the lam; not planning on returning until the baby turns 5 in hopes that his wife will have forgotten by then. It appears that he was the only one he didn't know what his priorities were.

But while I looked up this story I found an even more disturbing one Pregnant Steelers Fan Makes Plans To Be Induced.

A pregnant Steelers fan is not letting the birth of her baby get in the way of the Super Bowl celebrations.

She convinced her doctor to induce her early, so she'll be home in time to watch the Super Bowl with all of her friends.

Baby Alexandria is just a blurry image of a baby right now, but she'll enter the world with a wardrobe of Steelers clothes, her birth scheduled around the Super Bowl.

“The Super Bowl is like Christmas,” said Carrie Welling, of New Kensington. “The fact that the Steelers are going - that's what you live for.”

Welling is due the day before the Super Bowl, but when she screams through the game, she doesn't want it to be from labor pains.

Here there are 3 people who don't have their priorities straight - including the mother and doctor.

Then again this was the Super Bowl. Last week's story was about a pre-season game.
