So the past two days have had headlines that have spoken to my heart (from the Atlanta Journal).
Yesterday: Zoo Atlanta on 24-hour panda birth watch; Lun Lun shows signs of being in final phase of pregnancy
Zookeepers are on 24-hour birth watch for a new giant panda at Zoo Atlanta. They expect 10-year-old giant panda Lun Lun to deliver a cub in the next few weeks.
Lun Lun showed a decrease in appetite and became lethargic last week. Keepers say the changes are normal for a female giant panda entering the final phase of pregnancy.

Today: Calif. mom gives birth on front lawn by herself
FULLERTON, Calif. — Alone and in labor, Jessica Higgins found the first place she could to give birth — her front lawn. The 36-year-old was driving home from the mall Tuesday when little Mary Claire gave her the shock of a lifetime by deciding to arrive six weeks early. Higgins — with her 2-year-old son sleeping in the back seat — called 911 as she arrived at her Fullerton home, but she had already pushed her daughter out when police arrived. "She was just standing in the driveway rocking the newborn, who was still attached to the placenta," Officer Manny Ramos said Wednesday. Higgins' husband, Jeff, arrived in time to cut the baby's umbilical cord under the front-yard ficus tree.
