OMAHA, Neb. -- A woman whose baby was due mid-May went into labor early and gave birth at a Nebraska zoo. Drea Hubbard was born Sunday at the Henry Doorly Zoo & Aquarium, weighing 5 pounds, 5 ounces. Her mother, 24-year-old Kymica Hubbard, said the birth took about two minutes from when her water broke. Her husband, Justin Hubbard, caught the child and wrapped her in a sweater as other zoo visitors gathered around.
