New Mother Discovers Secret Message Underneath Baby’s Blanket

Laren felt like vomiting when she looked into her newborn’s blanket. What she saw had to be an accident; this couldn’t be happening! She began to cry uncontrollably while holding the baby.

Lauren and Chad McDevitt were thrilled when they found out they were expecting. Already the parents of little Kaden, Lauren was confident that she knew how things would go this time. After all, she’d done this before.

It had always been Lauren’s dream to have children. When she and Chad married, they couldn’t wait to get pregnant and begin their family. They delighted in Kedan and enjoyed watching him grow and change every day.

Lauren’s water broke one evening, and she was confident and calm. She knew exactly what to do. She went to the car with her bag, and her husband drove to the hospital. Laurent felt ready for the delivery and couldn’t wait to see the new baby.

Lauren’s pregnancy and delivery went like clockwork. There were no complications during pregnancy and the delivery was smooth and took just six hours. Their baby girl was absolutely beautiful, and Lauren couldn’t wait to introduce her to her big brother.

Lauren felt so blessed; she had a son and a daughter, and her life was shaping up exactly as she had planned. She was exhausted from the delivery but couldn’t stop wanting to snuggle with her new baby and feel that closeness.

Lauren and Chad had big families, so lots of visitors showed up at the hospital. Everyone wanted to meet the new baby and gasped at how beautiful and perfect she was. It was a great feeling that everyone was so thrilled with the little newcomer.

Chad and Lauren named their baby Everly. Everyone was cooing over her and wanting to look at her every little move and squirm. Then Lauren’s aunt noticed that the baby needed a diaper change.

Since Lauren was so worn out after the delivery, she asked the nurse to change Everly. The nurse was only too happy to give the mom a rest and take over the task.  Everly went off to the nursery in the arms of the nurse.

The nurse brought Everly back to Lauren’s room about fifteen minutes later. She gently placed the baby in her mother’s arms. As she left the room, Lauren, still feeling that something was wrong, looked at the nurse and saw what she thought was a smirk on the nurse’s face.

Lauren was cuddling the baby when she noticed that Everly was wrapped up very tightly in her blanket. She could only see her hair and eyes peeking out. The baby seemed calm, so Lauren didn’t think much more about it.

Before she had a chance to open the blanket, more visitors poured into the room. They all wanted to stare at Everly, and some were disappointed that they couldn’t see her whole tiny body, just her eyes, and hair.

It was time for the family to see all of Baby Everly. Lauren was excited to show off the baby’s ten fingers and ten toes and to hear the oohs and aahs of the grandparents at the sight of this little miracle.

It took Lauren quite a while to unwrap Everly. The nurse had made such a complicated wrap that Lauren had to figure out how to undo it. It seemed that the nurse had purposely made the blanket hard to open.  Why would she have done that?

Finally, the blanket was opened, and everyone was eager to see the rest of little Everly. Lauren felt everyone looking at her to see her reaction to the sight of her newborn. They loved watching her little arms and legs wriggle.

Lauren just sat there staring at her baby. The worst ideas ran through her head. Was this some kind of joke? Had her baby been switched with another? She tried to yell for help, but all she could do was stare at the baby.

The family huddled around Lauren, trying to calm her down. They were confused too. Why was Lauren screaming – was it excitement? Fear? Panic? And how could they help her? The emotions in that room went on a roller coaster ride.

Lauren was bawling, but no one knew why. It must be that something was wrong with Everly, and everyone was in a panic. Chad, however, was cool as a cucumber. Now it seemed that whatever happened, he was in on it.

Lauren kept shrieking and starting to cry. Now everyone in the room was really concerned for her well-being. Did she need medical help? Then they caught a peek at the onesie that Everly was wearing and realized that it was the same one she had on earlier that day.

Lauren finally calmed down enough to pick up the baby and look at the onesie. She lifted Everly so that everyone in the room could see what was written on it. Even though she was still exhausted, Lauren found the strength to keep the baby lifted while she showed off Everly’s new outfit.

It took a few moments for the news to sink in. The family just kept staring at the baby and at each other, and trying to see if they all understood the same thing. Jaws dropped, smiles grew, and it became a moment none would ever forget.

Once she had seen what was on Everly’s onesie, she had to completely examine the blanket to find out more. Chad had a cute grin on his face, so Lauren became less nervous and more excited as she took the blanket off of Everly.

It was time for Chad to reveal his big plan. He looked at his beloved Lauren and asked, “Will you marry me?”  Lauren was totally overwhelmed. Exhausted and still hurting from the delivery, she was bursting with excitement.

Now Chad’s plan was almost complete.  He was so pleased that it had gone well so far. Everyone in the room was so excited but still demanded to see what was written on the onesie. Surely that would complete the puzzle.
