Baby born in car after mom stuck in traffic “No, I’m having the baby,” she told him. “That’s when I called 911,” he said. Abbud pulled to the side of Route 36, blared his car horn and called 911 as the first stages of the delivery happened before him. “My wife was screaming,” he said. “I saw the top of the baby . ... I thought she was dead.” Two women at the Sands Beach Club — trauma nurse Sarah Wood and Rumson First Aid Squad EMT Lauren Kammerer — heard the screams and ran over to help. SEA BRIGHT — Trevor Abbud and his pregnant wife, Rose, were trapped in beach traffic when daughter Bel- la Rose was born inside their car along the side of Route 36. After Rose’s water broke at 6:20 p.m. Saturday, the Middletown couple was heading to the hospital when her contractions became overpowering. “I have to push,” 23-year-old Trevor Abbud recalled his wife saying. “You can’t push!” he responded. “Rose, calm down.” AMANDA OGLESBY @OGLESBYAPP See BABY, Page 4A COURTESY OF TREVOR ABBUD Rose Abbud and her daughter, Bella Rose, recover at Monmouth Medical Center in Long Branch.

Noth- ing else on the boardwalk comes close. e At ages 5 and 3, they regard this summertime staple with giddy awe. They might as well be going up to the moon. e A few weeks ago, as they boarded one of the two Ferris wheels in Ocean City, the questions popped into my head: How did this amusement come about? Who invented it, and where? e Turns out, the Ferris wheel has a fascinating back story. If you dig beyond the popularized version — that George Ferris created the modern wheel for the Chicago World’s Fair of 1893 — its real roots trace to the Jersey Shore, a local carpenter and a bitter lawsuit.
