This is an outstanding entry for the Pregnancy Contest. Good Grief but I enjoyed it. I think you have one little typo you might want to fix: Wind whistled as it "two" came in. Probably should be it "too" came in. This is wonderful. Nicely done. I am glad I had a six left.

    Thank you so much for your support and the six stars. I'll rush in and fix that.

At first I thought the setting might be Alaska. This would be surrealistic to most but probably not in Alaska. The fact that you were inspired by friends in a blizzard state gives it more detailed reality. Your account has excellent follow through foryour characters. We felt like we were right there.

Because we've never experienced snow where we live. Although we were in New York when a snowstorm dumped 16 inches of snow on boxing day. It would be difficult when a emergency came along. Beautifully written! I enjoyed this immensely. Great scribing blessings and good luck, Roy

This is a great story. It kept me interested all the way to the end. I am a mid atlanticer and a midwestener. I guess I am making up words. I cannot imagine my house covered with snow. You have a wonderful imagination.

Such a well orchestrated commotion! This is actually pretty accurate case scenario in a situation of a pregnancy. I'm not sure but I think IV fluids is something you give after the delivery.

    Thank you for reviewing. I based the IV part on my own experience when I was transferred between hospitals. The paramedics were required to insert an IV before loading me in. My transfer was by ambulance, but I figured there were similar rules for helicopters.

This is a well written and very believable story, it could b lengthened to make a hallmark movie! What an adventure for a new mother and her baby's entry into the world.
