Sarasota Baby Born In McDonald’s Bathroom: Report

SARASOTA, FL — Parker Jordan is going to have one whopper of a story to tell his own kids when he grows up. While more than a few babies are born on roadsides, in taxis and other unusual locations each year, Parker’s arrival may one-up them all.

The little guy came bounding into the world on Dec. 17 at the 6347 S. Tamiami Trail McDonald’s, according to ABC 7. It seems his parents were at the Sarasota eatery for breakfast when Parker decided he just couldn’t wait to be born.

Cathy Jordan, Parker’s mom, went into labor in one of the bathroom stalls, the station reported. Local nurse April Jones heard the cry for help and stepped in to assist.

ABC 7 reports that Cathy, dad Shawn Jordan, and Parker are all doing fine.

Parker isn’t the only Florida baby who just couldn’t wait to make a grand entrance into the world over the past year. Last New Year’s Eve, firefighters in Citrus County found themselves assisting in the delivery of twins – a boy and a girl.

Citrus County Fire Rescue arrived at a family’s home in the early morning hours of Dec. 31, 2015, to discover a mother was ready to give birth to a baby girl.

Realizing they had a twin delivery on their hands, EMS units worked together to cut the little girl’s umbilical cord and get the mother ready for the second birth.

While half the crew worked on packaging the mother for transport to a local hospital, the other half tended to the baby girl. Once inside the ambulance, the second baby also decided to make his entrance into the world. The baby boy was born “5 minutes down the road,” fire rescue reported.
