Baby born in McDonald's restroom
Christel Short, whose baby was due Aug. 20, said she entered McDonald's with her husband, Scott, and their 3-year-old son to use the restroom after feeling pain that she thought was indigestion, the Sky-Hi Daily News reported.
However, Short said that once inside the bathroom, she felt an overwhelming urge to push even though her water had not broken.
"I yelled, 'Oh my God, I'm delivering my baby! I'm delivering my baby!'" she said.
Short said she was assisted in the delivery by her husband, a volunteer firefighter who happened to be in the restaurant and two police officers who arrived soon after the baby began her exodus from the womb.
The mother said they named the child Taylor Winterpark Short. Her middle name is a tribute to the town of her birth.

Baby Short
What a wonderful story. I thought it was so sweet that she would name her baby after the city.
Now naming her after MacDonald's wouldn't be that special, as there are thousands of those restaurants all over the world.
