We see a lot of exciting projects come to fruition around here, but
two Googlers recently added delivering a baby to their on-the-job
experience, giving a whole new meaning to working well under
pressure.

One day last month, Matthew, a software engineer in our href="http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&geocode=&q=720 4th Avenue, Kirkland, WA&sll=47.67842,-122.195236&sspn=0.001994,0.004951&ie=UTF8&om=1&ll=47.678522,-122.195649&spn=0.00942,0.021651&z=16&iwloc=addr" >
Seattle/Kirkland office, arrived at work as usual. As he got to
his desk, he learned that his expectant colleague Min was home
sick. He thought this was strange, since she seemed fine the day
before and her baby wasn't due for another 17 days. He sent her
an email to make sure everything was okay. Min responded that she
thought she might be experiencing contractions, but that everything
was fine. Fifteen minutes later, he got a second message: Please
come help me get to the hospital right away. Matthew rushed over
and had barely backed out of the driveway when Min managed to say,
"The baby's out." He picked up the little bundle in
his right hand and declared, "It's a boy," and gave
him to her to hold. An ambulance arrived on the scene seconds
later. And just like that, Min and her husband became the proud
parents of Andy.
