Mother gives birth while husband listens by cell phone from Iraq

To be filed under heartwarming.

"On the second floor of the Carson-Tahoe Hospital at 5:47 p.m. Saturday, Chelene Ceja, 23, gave birth to a healthy baby boy named Anson, weighing 6 pounds, 8 ounces. More than 7,300 miles away, outside Baghdad, Iraq, Anson's father was clutching a phone receiver, listening to his newborn's first cries.

"There wasn't a dry eye in the house," said Ronda Gore, a nurse who assisted in the delivery. "We waited for the father to call the mother's cell phone before we induced labor. He was able to hear the mother push and the baby's first cries." [via Nevada Appeal].
