"I can't make it! I can't make it," Kristin says between screams, "We need to stop."

Troy drove on, trying to calm his wife. He even assured her that he would deliver the baby if necessary.

As the couple arrived at the hospital, Kristin realized it was too late to make it inside.

"His head is out. I'm not kidding," she screamed

Kristin was standing up when she delivered baby Truett at 2:05am. Troy was there to safely catch the baby as he came out.

Incidentally, Kristin was scheduled for induction the next day at the Texas Children's Hospital - Pavilion for Women where she works as a childbirth educator.

"I'm thrilled to have the footage," Kristin told ABC News. "I'm more hesitant to send it to people, because it's such an intimate moment for us, but as a birth educator, it's really cool to let people see that our bodies know what to do."

Troy also filmed the births of their first two children, Turner, 4 and Tillman, 2.
