This is an emotional story that you do not hear very often. Chad's girlfriend, Lauren, had just given birth to a girl. After a diff for cult pregnancy and an even harder delivery, the new parents were in the hospital room trying to get some rest. New mother Lauren was exhausted after giving birth.
But she then felt something strange under the blanket that would make her exhaustion a lot worse.....

We go a bit back in time. Chad, the father to be, wanted to make the birth of their child even more unique, so he worked on a plan to do just that. His plan was a big surprise for his girlfriend, Lauren, just after the baby was born. Chad got the entire family involved.

Even the nurses at the hospital where his daughter was going to be born knew about Chad's plan. They also promised to help him, and of course, they did whatever it took to keep the project a secret. Lauren was not allowed to know anything.
Then the moment arrived — the baby was ready to be born!

It was a girl! Lauren had a difficult delivery, but the result was a beautiful baby named Everly. Mom and baby were doing great, but they needed to rest, so they were brought to a hospital room to sleep.
Chad's surprise had to wait one more day.

The next day, Lauren, feeling stronger, was sitting up straight in the hospital bed. Chad held little Everly in his arms and hugged her with happiness. The whole family stood around the two, looking at the miracle that had just entered their lives. And of course, they were all alert.
Because now it was time for Chad's plan to be executed!

Sometimes, a plan might not go the way you had imagined. Whether this would be the case for Chad and Lauren's entire family and the nurses of the hospital, nobody knew. There was one complexity that could destroy the whole plan: Lauren had to allow the nurse to change the baby's diaper.

But Lauren was still tired from the birth, so she allowed the nurse to change the diaper. What Lauren, of course, did not know was that the nurse would also do something special, at Chad's request. She changed not only Everly's diaper but also her clothes.

The nurse changed the clothes and the diaper, rewrapped the baby in a blanket, and then handed her to Chad to do the final check. Chad then gave their baby back to Lauren. Everything had gone according to plan. Lauren happily held her daughter, but then she felt something strange under the blanket.
↚
Lauren felt something like plastic under the baby's clothes. She took a good look immediately. The family was filming everything. Carefully, she unwrapped Everly. But then she paused. She saw a different onesie than the one that had been on her daughter before.
↚
It was a onesie with a special message from her boyfriend, Chad! It was the thick print she had felt under the blanket. The onesie said: "Mommy, will you marry daddy?"
Lauren stared, shocked, at the onesie.

Lauren could hardly believe it. She did not wait for another second, and while the family was filming everything, she immediately screamed to the room: "YES! I will!" Of course, Chad was relieved and overwhelmed. The couple kissed, and there were tears of happiness on the cheeks of the new mother and new fiancée.
