Blackhawks Fan Goes Into Labor During Game, Waits Until It Is Over To Give Birth

(source) Windy City native Donna Lebano may just be the biggest Chicago Blackhawks fan.With all the gut-churning action during Thursday night’s Hawks playoffs game against the Minnesota Wild, Lebano got an unmistakable feeling during the second period. The eight months pregnant Hawks fan was going into labor. “No way was I leaving,” Lebano said in a statement from Adventist Hinsdale Hospital according to ABC Chicago. “We are a Hawks family. I had to see the end of the game.”

After Lebano and her family hung on to watch the Hawks eliminate the Wild in Game 5, her three sisters immediately rushed her to the hospital where she delivered a healthy 6 pound, 5 ounce baby boy just a few hours after the game ended, WGN reports. Rather than naming the newborn after one of Chicago’s players, Lebano and her husband Charles instead settled on a moniker not on the Blackhawks roster — at least not yet. “We want him to be the first Owen Michael on the Blackhawks, ever,” Lebano said in a bedside interview with WGN (embedded). “We’re sticking with the nickname Hossa,” the new mom added, referring to the Chicago right-winger Marian Hossa. Lebano said her husband was home with their elder child when she and her sisters enjoyed a “girl’s night out” at the game, and with a month to go in her pregnancy, Lebano told WGN she didn’t expect she’d go into labor that night.

“Nothing like an exciting Hawks game to induce labor,” said Lebano’s siter Barb Wilczek. “We’re doing fantastic and we think of Owen as Hossa’s hat trick. Two goals in a playoff game and a baby delivered moments after getting to the hospital is an epic hat trick,” Lebano said to ABC.

I like the dedication Donna, I really do, but this has to be the most selfish thing a person has ever done. I’m not talking about Donna being selfish by possibly jeopardizing her son’s health. I’m on the record as saying I would put my future baby in a microwave for 10,000 dollars, so I’m not exactly in a position to give parenting tips. No this is selfish because Donna very easily could’ve given birth at the Blackhawks game. Which means someone would have had to watch her do that. Which is fucking gross. Like have some respect Donna, not everyone is a middle aged man that has thrown their dick down a well. Some of us would still like to have sex, and watching you squirt out a baby during a Blackhawks game is a quick way to ensure I never get hard again.

““We want him to be the first Owen Michael on the Blackhawks, ever, but We’re sticking with the nickname Hossa,”

Someone needs to explain to the Lebano’s how nicknames work.
