birth for at least a few more weeks but baby wouldn't wait. here's live with the very latest, liz? >> yeah, this little guy was not waiting mom said she had some cramps in her stomach so she went to watch some tv and then 5 minutes later she was holding her new baby. >> and then all of a sudden -- >> holding her baby in the expected. heather beams with pride over her new bundle of joy. >> he's perfect. >> her new baby cameron extraordinary but her delivery anything but ordinary. >> it was a bit of a whirlwind. >> she gave birth in her living room in her husband's recliner. >> i just went downstairs into his recliner chair and was able to get a little comfortable. the next thing i know, um, i'm feeling a lot of pressure and, um, two pushes later i'm holding my newborn son in my hands. >> she says it only took baby cameron 5 minutes to come into the world. >> i definitely was panicking

and, um -- but as soon as he was out and i heard him cry, um, it made me feel better. >> her husband called 911 and the rhode island couple came by ambulance to st. vincent's in worcester. mom and baby are doing great and getting to know each other, a peaceful end to a hectic day. >> the important thing is that he's healthy and, um, and that he's okay. >> this is the third child for the family thankfully everybody is doing okay but heather says the recliner, well, it didn't end up so well. live in worcester, with the 7 (music playing.) man, what a mess, doppler radar showing snow up through southern new hampshire and then we have sleet and freezing rain around the metro, and then back in the worcester hills where liz is it's shut down with a bunch of clouds. is to have the prescription come

at us in two pieces. the first piece is right now. a winter storm and then the second piece tomorrow evening, warm rain and wind and perhaps even a few rumbles of thunder. you can see near 40 degrees it's trying to dislodge the arctic air and arctic air can be real stubborn to get rid of. it's ahead of and hangs near the ground up in the clouds there's no resistance and that's why we have quickly seen the snow change over to sleet and freezing rain but again near the surface of the earth it's going to take a few more hours. you notice at 2:00 am in the morning and this is work through the tuesday morning commute the rain does taper off to a bunch of different clouds at 7:00 am so i think there'll be pockets of drizzle and freezing drizzle pocket conditions is not very good that's the case overnight tonight. if you have to travel overnight tonight allow for extra time and even early tomorrow morning i think some lingering colder pockets of air away from the coastline lead into some poor travel conditions again the kids are out of school this weekend and here in massachusetts so

delay. around metro boston i think it's fair conditions because at that time the air is starting to remember with a up and for everyone there's no heavy in fact, this is step through most of the day tomorrow, we wait for round 2 and that waiting process allows the air to warm. temperatures during the day tomorrow climb through the 40s and then here comes round 25:00 tomorrow night so the evening commute might have a whole new set of issues and then it won't be wintry precipitation and might be rain and wind and programs some thunderstorms with round 2 of the storm quickly with temperatures tomorrow night into the 50s. the amount of the rain on the way with that second surge of moisture about three-quarters to almost an inch of rain. and as the downpours are moving through winds could gust occasionally 40 to 50 miles an hour. new hampshire, city of boston and we have that high wind watch

fishburg not all overly concerned with any significant wind as we work through into wednesday thankfully theories no arctic air to come sweeping in through this system. if you have a sloppy drive out there mother nature will take care of the mess and get rid of it for you wednesday temperatures are in the upper 30s, thursday that's the seasonal day for a change with temperatures on thursday near 40. >> all right, thank you so much, jeremy, i'm looking forward to the near 40 and above. >> sounds really good.

dear fellow citizen, i know how it feels to save for retirement and college - times two. i get that it can be overwhelming, because i' m living it. but i always tell people - saving' s not that complicated. you just have to work with what you have.

new england's energy comes from a pool of energy producers. eversource buys it at a set market price and delivers it to you. but that pool is shrinking, causing energy supply rates to go up and down. so we're working with partners across the region to increase our natural gas supply and bring in affordable, clean hydropower from canada. we're leading the way toward the solution... because more energy means lower energy supply rates for you.
