A central Kentucky mother has quite a story to tell.
She has a 6-day old son she delivered herself but that's not all.
Kelly Bottom didn't even know she was pregnant until she had the baby!
Now in Harrodsburg, there's a house full of presents and a neighborhood full of curious friends.
“I can't get over you being pregnant. I can't get over your having a baby," said one neighbor.
Kelly Bottom says she thought her stomach was hurting, so she went to her bathroom.
"I realized it was more than just pains. So then I laid on the floor and I had him. Two pushes and I had him,” she said.
He is Brian Sims, now 6-days-old.
“I knew I had to cut the umbilical cord and I was trying to clean myself up and then he had to get out of school and I had to go get him."
He is James Sims, her 7-year-old, who says he nearly passed out when his mother came to pick him up with a newborn in her car.
Kelly says she knows some people won't understand how she didn't realize she was pregnant until it was time to deliver or why she did the job herself.
“I just done what I thought I should do. I didn't know," said Bottom.
She said she wouldn’t call 911 because, “I guess I just wanted to do it by myself, I didn't know."
Mother and baby went to the hospital late that afternoon. She was still bleeding, and he needed an incubator and blood work.
Five days later, both are fine and big brother James already has big plans.
Brian Keith Sims, his father, was also surprised, calling baby Brian a miracle. Kelly says she hadn't planned on another child but now he's here she is happy.
An article by a childbirth expert about the dangers of not knowing you're pregnant suggests it's more common than you think.
Robin Weiss says one in almost 2500 women fit that profile, which makes them three times more common than women who give birth to triplets.
