In April of 2024, Alyse Sparkman of Michigan began experiencing contractions, so she and her husband Sean went to the hospital.
They were sent home after doctors decided that Alyse wasn’t in active labor.
On the way back, Alyse and Sean stopped to eat at a restaurant called at Lily’s Seafood Grill and Brewery.
While Alyse was chewing her first bite of food, her water broke.
Just a few minutes later, she gave birth to a baby girl.
The couple had planned to name their daughter Penelope Danielle, but her unusual birthplace inspired them to change the middle name to Lily.
Penelope’s two older brothers are named Logan and Quill.
