Baby born on I-43 during the morning rush

The baby's name was supposed to be Cecilia Violet Marie Schulte.
But "supposed to be" doesn't work for a child born in the front passenger seat of a 1998 Toyota Corolla driving through rush hour on I-43.
Her mother, Annmarie Schulte, delivered the baby herself at 7:28 a.m. Monday, moments after she reached down and felt the little head in her hands.
One contraction later, the baby slid out into her mother's arms: pink, still sleeping and - her mother knew instinctively - healthy.

"We freakin' did it!" Matthew yelled when they got to Aurora Sinai.
"I think we really should make her middle name 'Freeway,' " he said.
Well, Annmarie thought, this child has a free spirit. And the name certainly fit the occasion.
So it was agreed. Cecilia Violet Marie Schulte would be Cecilia Freeway Schulte.
