It all started on the evening of March 25, when the couple was spending their leisure time just like other 20-year-old couples do. But then suddenly, Grace started experiencing a severe stomach ache when the couple was out for dinner with their friends. Bryson misunderstood that pain as kidney stones and suggested Grace to visit the doctor.

However, Grace felt that this pain was something else. At the hospital, doctors prepared to examine Grace and just as she laid down, her water broke. They were taken aback as they had suddenly become the parents of a daughter, Micaela, who was born early in the morning on March 26.

They couldn’t believe their eyes as earlier Grace never experienced pregnancy symptoms like cravings or morning sickness, she was on birth control and she had her regular menstrual cycle. Grace even had her pregnancy test which turned out to be negative. Although she did gain weight, it wasn’t noticeable and hence she didn’t pay heed to it. Also, she had her normal cycle, some months little lighter, but she thought that it was due to the pill she was on, so she never gave a thought to it.

The couple had no boundaries of their happiness but they were financially unprepared to welcome a child to their lives. Bryson is an airman in the US Air Force and Grace worked as a catering manager at Chick-fil-A. As the baby was a complete flabbergaster, they hadn’t saved up the money for their baby.

Bryson had appealed people to help him through the GoFundMe account. Though they have a couple of hundred dollars in their savings account however that would not suffice to raise the baby. The account has already surpassed its goal of $5000. Apart from the monetary donations, the couple is blessed to have received baby gear and warm wishes from family, friends, and community members. Bryson is blessed to have such a loving family.

Bryson expressed his view that this baby had completely turned his life overnight. He felt that he was a child and suddenly he had been put to parenthood in a night. Grace was jolted by her baby but was overpowered by joy. She couldn’t believe till this moment but, Grace will love her till the last breath of her life.
