(And a pretty fun story for the proud new parents to share for years!!!)\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It was a day when most residents of the small town of Shenandoah, Iowa, were bundled up inside, but the Gardner family was headed to the hospital.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" style=\"border: none; overflow: hidden;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/plugins\/post.php?href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Fsmciowa%2Fposts%2Fpfbid034GSu2rhZyzV5NeBPKrj5RjqMqVRYrQ7EzTjBn6SwatQa8EnrLp366hf9CJKgYjQul&amp;show_text=true&amp;width=500\" width=\"500\" height=\"647\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On the other side of town, Dr. Brown was also on his way. In an interview with ABC, he explains that it was \u201cSnowing everywhere, flying in all directions, but you just keep going through to the next one [snowdrift].\u201d He said that he knew that the only way he would get there on time to deliver the baby was if he took his ATV and drove through the snowdrifts.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When asked if they were worried that Dr. Brown wouldn\u2019t get there in time, mom Krystal Gardner replied, \u201cWe knew he was going to get there, they all would get there for it.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Baby Birkley was delivered safely and is said to be doing well. <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cShe\u2019s a very good baby; we couldn\u2019t ask for more perfection,\u201d Gardner said. However, despite being born during a snowstorm, Birkley reportedly prefers to stay warm. &#8220;She hates the cold&#8230; she doesn&#8217;t like to be out of her blanket, out of her swaddle, nothing,&#8221; said her mother.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It wasn&#8217;t just Dr. Brown but the whole birthing team who showed up to deliver little Birkley into the world. Dr. Brown spoke for all of them when <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ketv.com\/article\/iowa-doctor-drives-atv-through-snow-storm-to-deliver-baby\/46416988\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">he said<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, \u201cAgain, no matter what\u2019s coming, we\u2019re there to take care of people.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The comments on the Facebook post confirm what Brown explained in the interview: this is a doctor who will be there for his patients to provide care. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201c<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He has a dedication to his patients like no other!

Another explained, &#8220;Dr. Brown is the best, my family adores him!!&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dr. Brown stated, &#8220;This has been my dream.
