An American man has narrated how their new baby was born in the bathroom of a restaurant who promised to give her free food for life.
The excited father, Robert Griffin, took to Facebook to reveal how his daughter was born in popular Chick-Fil-A after taking an unplanned break at one of the restaurant’s outlets in Texas.
The woman’s contractions began on Tuesday and on their way to San Antonio, Texas’ University Hospital, they had to make a quick stop as Falon needed to use the bathroom.
“I can see just the top of Gracelyn’s head, just barely crowning, but I knew we couldn’t go anywhere. So I told her, ‘Sweetie, we’re gonna do something great, and we’re gonna do it right here and we’re gonna do it right now,’ ” Robert told KENS-TV.
In honour of the unexpected delivery, the popular franchise will give her free food for life and has also guaranteed her a job as soon as she turns 16.
See Robert’s story on Facebook:
“last night I delivered our baby girl IN THE BATHROOM AT A CHICK-FIL-A! Here’s what happened:
“Maggie and I loaded up the car last night to go to the hospital for delivery, and we were dropping off our daughters with a friend who was meeting us at Chick-Fil-A to pick them up. By the time we got to the restaurant, Maggie was in active labor and said she REALLY had to go to the bathroom. But it was after 10pm and Chick-Fil-A was closed.
“After banging on the glass, the staff answered the door and let Maggie in. I loaded the kids into our friends car, kissed them goodnight, and went in to find Maggie.
“The manager said “she’s in the restroom and she’s screaming”. So there we were…..my wife and I in a tiny stall in the bathroom, and I could see the top of our little girls head crowning as Maggie was straddling the toilet. I told Maggie, “sweetie, we are gonna have to do this right here, right now”. After shouting to the manager to call 911 and to bring any clean towels, Maggie and I started delivering our baby.
“When she got to the shoulders, I realized the chord was wrapped around her neck TWICE. didn’t want to alert my wife, so just told her try to relax for a minute and I was somehow able to unwrap the chord from the baby’s neck.
“With two more strong pushes, and using my shirt for a towel, out came Gracelyn Mae Violet Griffin. Paramedics arrived 15 minutes later so we kept her warm by having the chick fil a staff warm up white towels in the kitchen and keep bringing them to us.
“We were also on speaker phone relating vitals to the first responders who were on their way. For all the chaos, we all did amazing. Cut the chord while still in the bathroom, kept Gracie stable and mom calm, and it all worked out….not as planned, but everyone’s healthy.
“Her birth certificate reads “Born in Chick-Fil-A” and The hospital had me sign the birth certificate as the attending physician. 👊
“I thinks it’s pretty ironic that a proud conservative, Christian family would have a baby in a Chick-Fil-A, and wrapped in a Trump 2020 T-shirt! BOOM #maga#mywifesthebest #chickfila #texas🇺🇸 #chickfilababy
