The baby of the Baker couple chose to enter the world in a very unusual location. However, the place he selected gifted him an incredible lifelong surprise.
This charming and magical story is recounted by RBC-Ukraine (Styler project) with reference to FOX.
Kyle Baker was preparing for the arrival of her third child. On that day, she felt contractions but initially thought they were just random cramps.
"I didn't realize I was in labor. I thought I was having random cramps. I called my husband when I understood they were becoming more regular," Kyle shared.
When Aaron returned home, he noticed that his wife was in some discomfort, but neither of them believed that the baby was on its way. Thus, Aaron decided to quickly grab a bite to eat and took his wife to the car to head to Bronson Hospital.
"We start driving up Portage Road, and after about 5-10 minutes, Kyle begins to moan more intensely and says she’s feeling worse. She tells me to call the doctors to come to us," Aaron recounted.
It takes 25 minutes to drive from the Baker home in Vicksburg to Bronson Hospital, so Aaron and Kyle made the decision to pull over.
"This isn’t really happening. I thought the baby wouldn’t come on the way to the hospital. We would make it to the hospital. Everyone would get there in time," Aaron said.
However, the situation began to spiral out of control, and he called 911. The dispatchers advised them to find a place to stop for the ambulance to reach them. The nearest location turned out to be One Well Brewing - the brewery's parking lot.
"When he stopped, walked around to the passenger side, he opened the door just in time to catch the baby’s head," Kyle explained.

The third child of Aaron and Kyle was born in the car, in the parking lot of One Well Brewing.
"Thank God we heard the sirens because I realized that with what needed to be done next - I wouldn’t be able to handle it," Aaron admitted.
The baby was named Forrest Wells, in honor of his favorite drink from the same brewery.
"We joked that Forrest just wanted to stop for a beer on the way to the hospital, just like his father. When people heard I gave birth in the parking lot, they thought my husband and I had stopped for a beer and that my contractions started," Kyle joked.
The brewery owner, Chris O'Neil, was so moved by the event that he created a special drink - a blood-orange pale ale, which the young parents helped brew at the brewery. The beer was named Special Delivery.
Additionally, O'Neil announced that from the day Forrest turns 21, he will receive a pint of beer for free for the rest of his life.
