Vegas, Baby Page #5

---

The

Sher Institute asked

me to be a judge for their

contest, and I declined.

Here is a medical procedure

that is necessary for people

to treat their disease.

And it's just this one sector of

the entire health care spectrum

where it seems perfectly normal

to have a raffle or a contest.

It's disturbing.

It's a hardship

for the average American

to afford IVF, and for

many it's impossible.

For those that say that

there shouldn't be a contest,

I agree.

There should be insurance.

All right, so

we're gonna go around the room,

and we're gonna--

Jay?

I have my logic

that I'm clinging to.

But this, I think,

has been a good experience

for you guys, because,

like, you felt like you

had nobody on your side.

And no one understood you.

And now look at how much

support you're getting.

She's gonna have her babies.

I know she'll have her babies.

It's almost time.

Oh, gosh.

Ick, nervous.

Hi, mom.

Hi.

So I'm gonna look at the

results to see if I won.

Oh, you

haven't looked yet.

No, you're gonna look with me.

Oh.

But some of the

people in this are

like, you know,

same story as me,

but maybe they

were at it for 10--

like eight years.

And then, like, the

husband suddenly

gets multiple sclerosis.

I'm like, well how

am I gonna beat that?

That's good.

- Hey, guys.

- Hello.

- Hi.

- Hi.

Hi.

All right, well, we won't

torture you anymore.

You guys are a great couple.

You'll be great parents, so

you guys are the winners.

Yeah!

Oh my god.

Oh my god.

Ah!

my god.

Oh!

Oh my god.

Oh my god.

Thank you so much.

So much.

Well, you guys

have plenty of time

to digest and figure out

where you're gonna go.

Congratulations again.

- Thank you.

- Thank you.

Bye bye.

Bye.

Bye.

Come here.

So we're gonna have

a hug of tears.

Which shoulder do you want?

Come here.

I can't stand up.

I'll hold you up.

Annie, come here.

We've gotta do our champagne.

Woo!

Woo!

It's getting in our glasses.

So that's it.

The wait is over.

It may well be an especially

happy holiday this year

for a couple in Green Bay.

This morning, Brian

and Ann Johnson

learned that they'll be getting

extra help in their attempt

to have a baby.

Fox 11's Ben Krumholtz

has their story.

OK, obviously we couldn't

be in here because we didn't

want to ruin the surprise.

But take me through it.

What was it like

hearing the big news?

I feel like this is a dream.

I don't think either one

of us fathomed something

like this would ever happen.

This is just like

slam dunk for us.

We're gonna bring home a baby.

Or two, or three.

We have to sit down

and figure it out.

Yeah.

I mean, I can hear them--

I hear voices, you know,
