CHESAPEAKE, Va. – A couple welcomed a child together overnight Wednesday into Thursday.

A Blizzard Warning was in effect for the area while the mother was busy giving birth.

Baby Evan Donald Wood was born at 1:30 a.m. and is now snowed in for the next few days, his parents said.

They explained even though snow and wind was roaring outside, everyone at Chesapeake General was “great with the birthing process.”

On Friday, the Norfolk couple said baby Evan is safely at his new home with his parents. They made sure to thank the night nurses who took care of the new family of three.

Now they have a great story to tell in addition to welcoming a wonderful child!
