HALES CORNERS — A Muskego woman and her newborn baby are doing well after a dramatic delivery at a McDonald's parking lot, during heavy snow and freezing temperatures.
"I had my hand on her leg just saying we can do it. We can make it. It's going to be okay. Then she got very serious and said we're not going to make it," Daniel Beck recalled.
Analysia Beck says they were heading to the hospital shortly before 4:00 am. on Friday, Jan. 12. They pulled over into a McDonald's parking lot after realizing they were not going to make it in time. Analysia's contractions were intensifying.
"We were just driving past, and it was the best place to pull over," Analysia said.
"I think it was just muscle memory from going there too much," Daniel added.
Analysia said that as soon as they got into the McDonald's parking lot on South 108th Street in Hales Corners, things escalated.
"As soon as he pulled into the parking spot I was like he’s coming right now. I have to lay down. You’re going to have to catch the baby," Analysia explained.
The couple says police showed up, followed by paramedics who helped deliver the baby and put him on oxygen.
Daniel was grateful for the fast response.
"Definitely thankful for all the paramedics and police that showed up quickly and make sure that everybody was okay," Daniel stated.
"It was chaotic and terrifying, but it ended up beautiful, and we have a perfect little boy," Analysia said.
The couple says while their child's name was decided ahead of time, they now have a new nickname for him.
"His name is Micah Daniel, so that could be shortened to Mickey D’s." Analysia Beck said. "We’ve kind of been calling him McFlurry, because I think he earned that name."
McFlurry is the couple's third child.
