Rachel Standfest warrants an award for mother of the yr. 

When the barnhouse that the Michigan native and her husband Travis Standfest were becoming in caught fireplace last May, Rachel jumped from a 2nd-tale window to escape—despite staying 36 weeks pregnant.

“The previous matter I keep in mind is Travis punching out the display window, and I could see my mom in the driveway yelling, ‘Get out now,’” Rachel told People in an job interview released Might 23. “And that is the last matter I bear in mind for probably two months.”

And while the courageous shift saved her and her baby’s life style, the 26-yr-outdated admitted that her only viewed as at the time was “battle or flight.”

“In the second, I know I was fearful,” Rachel described. “I know both of us had a minute of, ‘Oh my word, is this it? Are we going to die?’ But I was not scared to soar out due to the fact I realized which is what we had to do to endure.”

Right soon after producing the practically 20-foot bounce, Rachel was rushed to the health-related center, where their daughter, Brynlee Rose, was born via an emergency C-segment.
