    [1] Now to the golden rule of parenting expect the unexpected⁽¹⁾. - Isn't that the truth a lesson quickly learned by one Florida woman who gave birth as hurricane Milton barreled through the state.

  • 2

    [2] NBC News correspondent Steven Romo joins us now with her story, and Steven just getting to the hospital was not easy.

  • 3

    [3] Yeah as you can imagine already a stressful situation, and they had to drive more than half an hour through wind and rain to get to the hospital, and at the time they weren't even sure if they were going to be turned around and sent back home, thankfully this has a happy ending.

  • 4

    [4] As hurricane Milton was bearing down on Florida's Gulf Coast, Kenzie Lewellen was bearing down in labor.

  • 5

    [5] We were very nervous that I was going to be in labor during the hurricane at home.

  • 6

    [6] And Dad Dewey Bennett III was nervous too. - At 4:00 a.m. she woke me up saying "I'm having contractions."

  • 7

    [7] Not just because keny's contractions had kicked in as the hurricane was approaching, but because during Hurricane Irma they liveed through a painful experience trying to get medical care for a loved one.

  • 8

    [8] Back in 2017, my dad had a massive heart attack, because the ambulance could not come out to us during the storm, so he later that day passed away.

  • 9

    [9] With that concern looming over them, and Milton not far behind, the Port Charlotte⁽²⁾ couple decided to travel to a hospital in Venice. Knowing they may be sent home if labor wasn't far enough along.

  • 10

    [10] She was so far in having contractions that they went ahead and then admitted us, that took a lot of stress off my shoulders.

  • 11

    [11] And as Kenzie labored, they watched the storm from the hospital's windows. - And I'm like "Oh that tree looks like it's going to fly out of the ground." We were just watching the storm and the wind and the rain go crazy.

  • 12

    [12] After more than 10 hours in labor and an unplanned C-section, their first child Dewey Bennett IV was born.

  • 13

    [13] He's the cutest baby. - I always told myself that "oh I would never name my kid you know Dewey until my dad passed away."

  • 14

    [14] While one hurricane contributed to the death of Dewey II, hurricane Milton will be remembered for the birth of a brand new Dewey. - I kind of feel like it was fate.

  • 15

    [15] Oh fate beautiful baby I mean I wonder did the family even consider evacuating.

  • 16

    [16] Yeah they actually had some plans to go to the Eastern side of the state, they'd have to find a new hospital, new doctor of course, so they ended up saying, and they're glad they did because the place they were going to go ended up getting hit with tornadoes in that same area.

  • 17

    [17] So they're glad that things worked out the way. - So many variables, yeah that's a tough situation, I'm so glad that it all, I mean what a beautiful little baby.

    现在来说说育儿的黄金法则:要想到会有意外发生。 - 这难道不是佛罗里达一名妇女很快学到的教训吗?她在飓风米尔顿横扫该州时生下了孩子。

  • 2

    NBC新闻记者史蒂文·罗莫现在和我们一起讲述她的故事,史蒂文到达医院并不容易。

  • 3

    是的,你可以想象当时的紧张情况,他们不得不在风雨中开了半个多小时的车去医院,当时他们甚至不确定自己会不会被拒之门外,好在结局是美好的。

  • 4

    当飓风米尔顿正在逼近佛罗里达的墨西哥湾沿岸时,肯齐·勒韦伦正在临产。

  • 5

    我们都很紧张,因为飓风期间我要在家里生产。

  • 6

    爸爸杜威·班尼特三世也很紧张。 - 凌晨四点她把我叫醒说我宫缩了。

  • 7

    不仅是因为飓风逼近时肯齐的宫缩开始了,还因为在飓风“厄玛”期间,他们曾为一位亲人就医而经历了一段痛苦的经历。

  • 8

    早在2017年,我父亲就严重心脏病发作,因为在暴风雨期间救护车无法出来救我们,所以那天晚些时候他就去世了。

  • 9

    这种担忧笼罩着他们,飓风米尔顿也紧随其后,夏洛特港的这对夫妇决定前往威尼斯的一家医院。他们知道如果分娩进程还没到一定程度,他们可能会被送回家。

  • 10

    她的宫缩已经持续了很长时间,所以他们继续治疗,然后让我们住院,这减轻了我很多压力。

  • 11

    在肯齐·勒韦伦分娩的时候,他们从医院的窗户看到了暴风雨。 - 我当时惊叹道,“哇,那棵树看起来要被拔出地面了。”我们只是看着暴风雨,暴风骤雨。

  • 12

    经过10多个小时的阵痛和计划外的剖腹产,他们的第一个孩子杜威·班尼特四世出生了。

  • 13

    他是最可爱的宝宝。 - 我一直告诉自己,我永远不想给我的孩子起名叫杜威,直到父亲去世。

  • 14

    虽然一场(2017年)飓风导致了杜威二世的死亡,但飓风米尔顿将因一个全新的杜威四世的诞生而被人们记住。 - 我觉得这是命运的安排。

  • 15

    哦,命运,漂亮的宝贝,我的意思是,我想知道这家人是否考虑过撤离。

  • 16

    对,他们原本确实打算去州的东部,但得另找一家医院,当然还得另找一位医生,所以他们最终改变了主意,而且他们很高兴自己这么做了,因为他们原本要去的那个地方后来在那片区域遭遇了龙卷风袭击。

  • 17

    所以他们很高兴事情能顺利解决。 - 变数太多了,这是一个艰难的局面,我很高兴看到这一切,我的意思是,多漂亮的小宝贝啊。
