Rocky mountain baby boom

Last winter was a severe one in Denver, Colorado. The first storm hit on December 21 and there was snow on the ground for 61 consecutive days. Many residents were stuck in their homes for days. And even Scrabble gets tiresome after a couple months. So what did people there do in January and February? Well, let's just say they did it.

Now, doctors say they are preparing for the aftermath. Sky Ridge Medical Center is expecting an increase of 20% in births this October. "I think I'm going to store some sleep the rest of this month because it's going to be busy at the end of September and early October," said Dr. Steve Grover.

Meanwhile, a local children's store is seeing some additional impact. Sales at Studio Bini are up six percent and store owner Linde Schlumbohm is having a tough time keeping enough stock on hand. "We've also been selling a lot of diaper bags and blankets," she said. "I'm completely wiped out of blankets. I can't keep up with the blankets."

Hmmm... seems to me a few less blankets might have prevented all this in the first place. Anyone in the mile high city out there? Any blizzard babies on the way?
