TL;DR Summary
A Delta flight from Atlanta to Portland delivered a healthy baby girl (Brielle Renee Blair, about 5½ pounds) just before landing in Portland, with two on-board paramedics assisting the birth after labor began mid-flight. The mother, Ashley Blair, was en route to be with her own mother; after landing, mother and baby were transported to a local hospital for observation.
