"The whole time, it's been really peaceful," Lizzy Baird said. "The Lord has a plan, and this is his plan. … The whole journey, every step of the way, has been a miracle."

To hear Lizzy Baird tell the tale, it's the most natural thing in the world.

It was around 6:30 p.m. on a Monday night when Baird, not quite 24 weeks into her pregnancy, started having contractions.

The Payson mother of four decided not to panic. She waited two hours until she decided it was time to go to the hospital. But as Baird sat on the toilet, she began to feel strange.

"This is definitely not the right feeling," she recalled, as she yelled for her husband, Jonathan. He came right in time.
