WATERFORD TOWNSHIP, Mich. (AP) - An Oakland County plumber makes a living working in the bathroom.
On Tuesday, he brought a life into the world in one.
With an assist from Waterford Township emergency dispatchers, 38-year-old Brian Hines helped his wife, Andrea, deliver a baby boy on the floor of a bathroom at their home.
Daniel Michael Lee Hines was born at 9:17 a.m. and was 7 pounds, 13½ ounces and 20 inches long. He joins brother Alexander, who is 18 months old.
Brian Hines tells the Detroit Free Press he and his wife are "going to be having fun with that one for a long time."
Dispatcher Joy Nick was able to talk Brian Hines through the birth. It was her first over the phone in 22 years on the job.
She tells The Oakland Press of Pontiac she was "glad there were no complications."
