A West Tampa couple welcomed their third daughter into the world Wednesday, but not exactly as planned. The father called 911 about 11 a.m. to say his 24-year-old wife was in labor and was pretty sure she wasn't going to make it to a hospital. Paramedics arrived at their house, turned their living room into a makeshift delivery room and delivered a healthy baby girl at 11:45 a.m., Tampa Fire Rescue said.
