boy or girl?

I was on the subway this morning, and offered my seat to a pregnant lady. She politely declined, and upon seeing how much she was protruding from her stomach, a lady across the aisle started making conversation with her asking how far she was along. The lady replied, "I'm due today... I'm on my the way to the hospital, actually." Aparently she lives in Maple, and she had contractions in the morning so she took the GoTrain and Subway to the hospital downtown.

She was by herself and I couldn't believe how calm she was! She took herself to the hospital by public transit!
All she said..."It's not too bad.. this is my 3rd one, so I know what I'm doing. My husband's home with the other two until he can find someone to cover."

She was contracting all the way to the hospital.
Man.. i was afraid she was going to give birth right there in front of my very eyes. I couldn't believe how calm she was by herself.

Women are amazing.
