WOODSTOCK - Veterinarians Jeff Cribb and Gregg Cohen have delivered plenty of babies puppies, kittens and large livestock. <br> <br> On Friday, they were faced with their first human birth, helping to welcome Michael Julian into the world after an Acworth couple discovered they couldn&#39;t make it to the humans&#39; hospital. <br> <br> Jose Julian pulled into the Animal Hospital of West Woodstock as his wife, Natividad, was giving birth. He needed a place to park - quickly. <br> <br> Cribb was examining Foofur the poodle inside when the receptionist said a couple had parked out front and were having a baby in their car. He took a look in the car and saw the baby&#39;s head. <br> <br> ``The closest I&#39;ve ever come is &#39;ER&#39; the TV show,&#39;&#39; Cribb said of a human delivery. ``I started to try not to panic and make sure the baby&#39;s color was good and the breathing OK - similar things we look for in our veterinary patients.&#39;&#39; <br> <br> Both vets helped out and technician Renee Reynolds climbed in the back seat to comfort the mother. <br> <br> ``His whole little body popped out, in one fell swoop. It was so cool,&#39;&#39; Cribb said. <br> <br> The Julians were transferred to a Cherokee County hospital where the mother and 6.5-pound baby are in good condition.
