Babies have shown us, time and again, year after year, that they can be even more unpredictable than the weather. They will come when and where they want. This year was filled with some of the most bizarre delivery locations, but there were also some pretty amazing birth stories this year. As we bring 2012 to a close, we’d like to take a moment to revisit the most amazing, bizarre and unexpected birth stories from 2012.
