I'm thinking the husband was possibly in a state of panic because he took the back roads to get to the main road. A cobblestone road is smooth compared to those back roads! We blew through red lights and passed people in the tunnels (which you're not allowed to do). Thank goodness it was the middle of the night.
To make a somewhat longer story short, we arrived at the hospital at 3:30am and GG was born at 3:44am.
When we were cleaning out the truck for the new owner we found a parking sticker from the night she was born. That's a pretty good indication of how long it's been since we could drive the truck. It's been sitting in our driveway for a few years now. It needed work done to it and besides that, a truck is not a family vehicle.
We did have intentions to sell the truck, but knowing what needed done to it, we weren't really pushing the sale. A few weeks ago, someone made us an offer and we took it. We were happy to get rid of it, but it was a little bittersweet watching it leave.

Until next time....

I just recently wrote a post about an old tv. It's amazing how many sentimental attachments we have to "things".
At least you have pictures! It is a pretty truck.
Amazing labor story!
Thank you so much for visiting on my TMC Featured Blogger day! I have that same feeling about leaving anything that I associate with the days my kids were born (still have the magazine I read while in labor with my youngest!).
Awww. That was lovely! I had one of my kids in the backyard of our house- *very* fast labour- and we joke that either we can't move, or we'll have to rip up that patch of backyard and take it with us!!
HAppy PINT :)
what an amazing story.. oh it looks like the truck went to a great home.. Have a wonderful day..
Aw, bye, truck!
My labor was like that with my first and I remember screaming at dh on the way to the hospital b/c he started to take the back way and I yelled, "NO! There's speed bumps that way! The baby will come out if you go that way!"
I can't believe your labor was so quick!!
I hate when I get rid of things with great memories attached.
Wow...imagine if GG was born in the truck. WHEW.
aw what great memories.....those can never be taken away...
What a quick labor!
we just got rid of our truck to it was an antique 77 ford soooo beautiful but it wasnt good to ride bailey around in.. Ill miss it!
15 minutes from arrival? Whoa!!!!
I so thought you were going somewhere else with the almost born in the truck lol.
Oh my gosh, 14 minutes is cutting a little too close on the delivery! Bye bye, pretty red truck!
Happy PINT! I have never had a car that I felt sad about getting rid of. However, I am sure that the one I have now I will be upset about getting rid of one day. When it is very old and no longer running. Yes, that is how much I love this new car!
What an awesome story of GG's birth. Glad you missed having her in the truck!
aaww... bye truck!! its sometimes hard to let go things that had beautiful memories with... can't imagine taking the back road with all the contractions...
