FORT WORTH — It's been a busy month for Samantha Hannah.

She's been landscaping at her Fort Worth home, enjoying a personal watercraft, and working at the Granbury Post Office.

These days, Hannah says that means "delivering mail out in 100-degree weather."

Not once did Hannah suspect that hectic month was also her ninth month of pregnancy.

The morning of June 3, Samantha Hannah started her mail route in Granbury as usual, but was soon in pain.

"I couldn't stand up," she said.  "I went to the bathroom and I was crawling out. I was holding on to my stomach, and people at work were like, 'Your stomach dropped from really high to really low.'"

At the hospital, the doctor delivered the news that Hannah was in labor, to which the 25-year-old remembers replying: "What? There's no way!"

Hannah delivered her daughter less than 30 minutes later, in a natural childbirth. 

"It was pretty intense," she said. "I was probably screaming at everybody. I apologized to the nurses right after I had her."

Caylie Leigh Hannah is doing well, healthy in every way.

Samantha Hannah's co-workers have recovered from the shock, and are throwing her a baby shower this week.
