A woman gave birth to her second child while sitting in the front seat of her husband’s car on the way to the hospital — and didn’t make a peep.

Brooke Canady, 30, was 37 weeks pregnant with her second son when she awoke on May 8, 2024, and felt strong contractions.

The Lexington, Kentucky, occupational therapist called her office to say she would be taking the day off before her contractions began to become more painful and consistent.

She waited a few minutes to wake her husband, Jeffrey Canady, who had been up through the night taking care of Truett, their two-year-old son, Brooke Canady told Fox News Digital.

By 7:00 a.m., the mom was having contractions less than five minutes apart, which is when she called her doula — who advised her to go to the hospital.

After struggling to get in the car, Canady recalled having to sit in the front passenger seat, as there were two car seats already installed in the back.

“Once we were in the car on our way, my contractions were so intense the only thing I could say was, ‘Flashers,’ telling my husband to turn on his flashers and get to the hospital as quickly as he could,” she told Fox News Digital.

“He looked like he had just been scared by a ghost and yelled, ‘AHHH!’”

With a 45-minute drive to the hospital ahead of them, Canady said she knew she wasn’t going to make it on time.

“Fifteen minutes into our drive, my body started involuntarily pushing,” she recalled.

Just 10 minutes from the hospital, Canady said she felt her water break and no longer felt any pain as she quietly said to her husband, “I’m going to have this baby.”

“He told me that he never heard another word from me until after we parked,” Canady said — which would be the moment her husband realized he was now a father of two.

At the stop light near the hospital, Canady said she could see her son’s head — and within seconds she was able to grab him and pull him onto her chest.

Several members of the emergency hospital staff rushed to the vehicle.

“This was the moment that my husband put the car in park and looked over at us,” she recalled.

She added, “He was so focused on his driving and getting us safely to the hospital that he never took his eyes off the road and was shocked. He looked like he had just been scared by a ghost and yelled, ‘AHHH!’”

Soon after, several members of the emergency hospital staff rushed to the vehicle where Canady said her OBGYN happened to be as well.

With help from the staff and her husband’s knowledge, the Canadys agreed that they welcomed Truett Canady at 8:38 a.m. He weighed 7 lbs. 9 oz.

After a chaotic birth, Canady’s new son is healthy and has a “very calm” personality, she said.

“It’s a surreal feeling to be a mom again, be proud of how my body is providing for our newborn and to have such a redemptive birth story this time,” she said.

Canady’s older son, Tripp Canady, had complications after birth, which resulted in a week-long stay in the NICU — something Canady said was a traumatic experience for her.

This time around, the mom of two said she prayed hard her body would be ready to welcome another baby.

“The birth experience I had was everything I could’ve ever wanted and a true testimony of God’s faithfulness and the amazing capability of a mother bringing her baby into the world,” she said.

Ryan Nicholson continues to come up big for Kentucky

Ryan Nicholson continues to come up big for Kentucky

Ryan Nicholson once again came up big for Kentucky on Saturday, belting a game-tying home run in the bottom of the ninth inning to send the game to extra-innings.

Kentucky pulled out the 5-4 win in 10 innings, earning its first College World Series win in program history to advance to the winner’s bracket.

“What a response,” Nick Mingione said postgame. “What a response. I mean, when I tell you guys in the ninth, this team has true belief. They really thought we were going to win the game.”

Since the beginning of the NCAA Tournament, Nicholson has been on another level. He’s 10-23 (.435 BA) at the plate with four home runs and eight RBI.

“I’ve made this comment multiple times,” Mingione started. “But when our offense really got going is when, back in March, we got Waldy in there full time, and when Ryan started hitting the ball over the fence. I think he hit maybe one home run preseason. When you look at the amount of home runs he hit in our league, I think he has the third most amount of home runs out of everybody in the SEC in SEC games.”

Nicholson’s 22 are tied for ninth most among SEC batters, but it’s even more impressive when you take into account he hit just one home run in the first 16 games.

“Not a lot of people are talking about him but there’s a lot of really good offensive players, a lot of good home runs hitters. And he’s certainly one of them.”

Along with Nicholson’s success at the plate, he has truly reached another level as a fielder. Near the beginning of the season, it seemed like a move to DH was possible for the Cincinnati transfer. After making four errors in the span of nine games from April 11-April 27, Nicholson has made just one error in the last 19 games.

“But think about our defensive plays today,” Mingione said. “Ryan Nicholson made two plays where we need every bit — this game, you know this, the margin of victory is so small. What about the high chopper down first base that Nicholson jumps up and keeps fair? What about the pick that Nicholson jumps up and catches? We need every bit of his 6’4”. What about that first-and-second and nobody out and the double play we turned. That’s us at our best.

The Cats will now have to wait to see who wins the Saturday nightcap between Texas A&M and Florida, as they’ll play the winner Monday night at 6:00 p.m. CT/7:00 p.m. ET.

What channel is Kentucky baseball vs NC State on today in 2024 CWS? Time, TV, streaming

OMAHA, Neb. — Kentucky baseball’s first College World Series game is on tap Saturday afternoon, opening against North Carolina State.

UK’s players took time to celebrate the super regional sweep of Oregon State, with Game 2 lasting into the wee hours Monday. But now that the Wildcats have boots on the ground in Nebraska, the time for talking — and celebrating past victories — is over.

“We’re all just ready to get playing,” third baseman Mitchell Daly said Thursday. “This first practice knocked the jitters off for a lot of people. I think everybody was just excited to get on the field, feel the dirt, see the scenery.

“Everybody is just ready to go.”

A Kentucky (45-14) victory Saturday keeps it in the winners bracket; its next game would take place at 7 p.m. Monday. It would face the victor of Saturday’s second game: an all-SEC affair between Florida and Texas A&M. Should UK lose to N.C. State (38-21), the Wildcats will play an elimination game at 2 p.m. Monday against the loser of the Florida/Texas A&M tilt. The season is over for the loser of Monday afternoon’s game.

UK hopes Saturday’s game has the same result of its previous NCAA matchup against N.C. State: The Wildcats beat the Wolfpack in a winner-take-all game in a 2017 NCAA regional to advance to super regionals for the first time.
