The mom, who delivered her baby with the help of a Frontier Airlines flight attendant, gave her daughter a fitting middle name.
The baby came earlier than expected during the recent flight from Denver to Orlando, according to a Facebook announcement from the carrier.
Flight attendant Diana Giraldo, who the airline praised as"exemplary" and"calm," ushered the laboring mom into a rear lavatory to assist with the delivery, while the plane made an emergency landing at Pensacola International Airport."Diana again went above and beyond after the completion of the flight to coordinate our return to Orlando. The whole crew really did a great job.
Nye added,"I transferred controls and flying duties to my First Officer as I coordinated the diversion. Dispatch did a great job as well by suggesting Pensacola Airport and getting a gate and paramedics ready for us. This was a job well done, and I was happy to see everyone working together to successfully deliver a newborn on an aircraft!"More brave moms have delivered their own babies in surprise locations.
