Heartwarmer of the day


Pregnant lady notices that she is leaking fluid, and promptly heads home to deliver her baby boy.

Except that she was in Texas at the time, and "home" is Anchorage, Alaska.

When asked why she chose to give birth at home, the father, who is best known for the Iron Dog race but who works as a commercial fisherman, said:
“Can’t have a fish picker from Texas.”

Glad I wasn't on that flight.

But there is more:

The lady is the governor of Alaska...

And the baby has Down's syndrome.

Family's statement: ""Trig is beautiful and already adored by us. We knew through early testing he would face special challenges, and we feel privileged that God would entrust us with this gift and allow us unspeakable joy as he entered our lives.

"We have faith that every baby is created for good purpose and has potential to make this world a better place. We are truly blessed."

Oh yes: she promptly went back to work. And plans to feed the kid while working, as she did with baby number four...
