Funny newborn stories

Anyone have anything crazy or funny happen during or after the birth of their child?

 Mine is that my grandma came to pick me and my twins up to take us home.  She brought my older son who was 2 1/2 at the time.  She also has a car that has one of those code things on the outside to unlock the car instead of using the keys.

 So I'm inside the hospital with my twins while my grandma is putting my older son in his carseat.  She left the keys in the car and comes in to get me and the twins.  We get to the car and find that she accidentally locked the keys in the car with my older son strapped in his carseat!  I tell her to unlock the door from the outside and she informs me that she never set a code because she never thought she'd need to use it.

 So I find hospital security and they tell me they can't unlock our door because they aren't sure if that's actually our car and its for legal reasons they can't.  So I call a locksmith who wanted to CHARGE me to open our door.  We finally call the fire dept.  While they are on their way (and I'm about hysterical at this point) we are talking to my older son through the windows and coaching him to wiggle out of his carseat and unlock the door.  It took him a good 10-15 minutes (and taking off his shoes) to get out but he finally made it, just as the fire dept pulls in the parking lot.

 At the time I was trying to keep myself together so my older son wouldn't get freaked out and start crying instead of being the hero that he was.  But now 6 years later I can laugh about it and my children love to hear me tell the story on the twins' birthdays each year.
