Eight-year-old girl delivers baby brother

As Krystle Garcia was getting ready for work, she realized there was a problem.

Krystle was pregnant and not due for two weeks, but no one told little Joseph James Snyder.

When Joe decided to make his appearance, the chaos began.

"My mom is pregnant and her water just broke,” eight-year-old Jazmine McEnaney told a 911 operator.

That call came in at 7:02 a.m. At 7:13 a.m. Joe was born.

An emergency operator stayed on the phone and helped talk Jazmine through the bathroom floor procedure.

"It was like, kind of hard," Jazmine told WFTS-TV in Tampa Bay, Florida.

Garcia admitted she was “hysterical," but proudly said her daughter "definitely stayed calm when she needed to."

Joseph checked in a five pounds, 10 ounces. Mom, baby, and sister are all doing well.
