An unforgettable year became a little crazier for Ravens running back Justin Forsett over the weekend as his wife gave birth to their second son.
Planning to see a Lauryn Hill concert to celebrate Valentine’s Day, Forsett instead had to drive his wife to the hospital to give birth to their son, Zion. It wasn’t until Sunday, however, that we found out how close the 29-year-old Pro Bowl selection came to possibly needing to deliver the baby in the car.
On Instagram, Forsett explained the timing of his wife going into labor and how it coincided with Saturday’s snowfall.
“S/O to my wife @michellekole it took her 4hrs from start to finish to deliver our son Zion,” Forsett wrote. “I thought I was going to have to deliver the baby myself in the car on the way to the Birthing Center it happened so fast last night. Driving in that snow storm definitely added a different element to the experience as well but it all worked out. Best Valentines Day Gift ever! So Glad to have Zion J. Forsett home!”
Forsett is set to become a free agent next month, but he and his family continue to spend this offseason in Baltimore.
