BROCKTON, Mass. — One local family received an unexpected Christmas gift – a newborn!
On Christmas morning, a 29-year-old Brockton mother woke up to spend the day with her four children. To her surprise, she went into labor at 38 weeks.
Her husband was going to take her to the hospital, but called an ambulance instead due to the snowy conditions.
