Baby Girl Miraculously Born in Parking Garage at Michigan Hospital
When a baby is ready to come into the world, there’s no stopping that baby from saying “hello” to everyone. What’s more, that’s even if it’s in an unlikely area. Well, a baby girl excited to enter the world was born in the parking garage of Michigan hospital, thanks to a team of very skilled Emergency Department caregivers.
Thankfully, mother and daughter are doing very well. Here’s the inspiring story.
The birth happened in the parking garage of E.W. Sparrow Hospital. “Our team got word that there was a someone delivering in the parking lot and raced outside,” Katheryn Moody, M.D., said in a statement. “We worked together and helped deliver a healthy baby girl while the first snow of fall was falling. Mom and baby did great and we are honored to be a part of their story.”
The birth happened on Monday, Oct. 30, in the family’s Suburban. Dr. Moody had a great team with her to help bring the baby into the world, including registered nurse Jessica Carpenter and Sparrow EMT Amanda Wonsey. Also, Desiree Albano, D.O., an OB-GYN resident, helped after the baby girl was safely delivered. The baby weighed 5 pounds, 6 ounces. “It’s a Monday I will never forget,” Wonsey said. “I have worked in the hospital setting for a total of 26 years, and this was my first parking lot delivery. I am really glad that baby and mom are doing well.”
The beautiful baby girl was at Sparrow’s Regional Intensive Care Unit (RNICU) a few days and then discharged home. “Her mom was also treated and is also now home and doing well,” according to a release. Sparrow Hospital adds that they recently achieved a “platinum” designation from the Michigan Alliance for Innovation on Maternal Health (MI AIM), “the highest ranking possible for its care of pregnant and new moms, highlighting our efforts to ensure expecting mothers and our youngest patients receive the highest quality care in Mid-Michigan.”
Redditors Roast Worst Baby Names They've Ever Encountered
Gridget
“When I was a kid I stayed at a bed & breakfast with family photos on the walls,” one user wrote. “There was a sister named Gridget. I actually think about this a lot.” It’s kind of like a spin on the name Bridget. This Redditor seems really stuck on the name they found.

Shanniel
This unique name caught this person off guard. They even tried to figure it out by mixing it with other names. “I once saw a baby announcement where the mom was named Shannon, the dad was Daniel, and they named the baby Shanniel,” they wrote.

Dyslexia
Sometimes people just go with the flow when picking a name for their kid. Maybe it felt right at the time, and they didn’t even realize it’s also the name of a condition. While working at a gas station, this Reddit user observed a mother who let her child run around wild. They wrote “One small girl was pushing on a display stand and the mother screamed: ‘DYSLEXIA GET YO A– OVER HERE!”

Donnaria
Back in school on the playground, this person probably had a rough time. This is particularly true because their name coincidentally rhymes with a sexually transmitted disease. Nevertheless, a user pointed out that it’s a clever fusion of two names. “Donnaria. A combination of her Mom’s name (Donna) and Grandma’s name (Gloria),” they wrote.
Alcoholic Beverages
Bacardi, Hennessy, Tanqueray, Alizé – the names keep coming. It turns out a Redditor, who happened to work in children and family services, encountered kids with names inspired by alcoholic beverages almost every day. “You don’t know how bad it really gets. Lots of kids named after alcoholic beverages.”
