State 911 telecommunicator Jonathan DuBois guided Keelin Shea through the process over the phone, leading to the birth of her daughter, a healthy baby named Annalise McNally.

"It was just kind of nice to be able to walk through it and just have a happy call," DuBois said. "Unfortunately, people don't call when they’re having a good day."
Also at the meet-and-greet in Tuftonboro were first responders with the Tuftonboro Fire Rescue Department and Stewart's Ambulance who responded to the McNally-Shea home, though, of course, not in time to take Shea to the hospital.

"I was like, this is just how it was going to be," Shea said. "I mean, I couldn't hold her in."
She and her husband credited DuBois with keeping the family calm.
