joke. Just ask Crystal Wade who navigated four foot snow drifts down the side of a mountain to deliver her daughter, aptly named Winter, duringWhen the forecast for Lake Arrowhead, Calif. initially showed snow, Brady Wade, 39, tells TODAY.com that he and wife Crystal, who was 9-months-pregnant, were alarmed.
The couple, who are also parents to Braden, 4, knew they needed to navigate down the mountain, but the snow was making impossible conditions. At this point, Crystal's contractions were getting closer together, so the couple trekked to their car parked down the road. While Wade navigated the unplowed roads, Crystal was breathing through contractions, which were now five minutes apart, with one hope:"I hope we have cell phone reception if this baby comes in the car."
"I'm going past the last place that even remotely resembles a medical facility and that was the fire station," Brady says."We just kind of had to make the decision. We're either going for it or we're stopping right now and we decided to go for it. Luckily, it worked out.""They got us into a room and I was eight centimeters dilated," Crystal says.Baby Winter was born around 5 a.m. Friday, Feb. 24.
