In the honest opinion of most moms — nay, most humans — Target is the happiest place on earth [3]. For Tanya St. Preux, the mama mecca has new significance aside being the place she can get some me time away from her kids — it's where her fourth child entered the world. Yes, you read that right . . . Tanya gave birth to a healthy baby boy in the entrance of her local Target store, thanks to the help of a shopping nurse.

Tanya initially went into the store to purchase a nursing bra, no doubt one of the last things on her list before welcoming her son, but didn't realise she was in "actual labor" at the time [4]. Twenty minutes after her contractions — which were about an hour apart prior to her Target trip — started to hit hard, her 7-pound, 10-ounce son made his appearance.

Luckily, Caris Lockwood, a Piedmont Atlanta Hospital labor and delivery nurse, was in Target shopping [5] for shoes at the time and was able to swoop in to help the mom as she went into active labor. "Caris was God-sent and amazing," Tanya said, according to a post on Piedmont Healthcare's Facebook. "She was sweet and caring and exceeded everyone's expectations. She went way over far and beyond."

What a birth story!
