EAST PROVIDENCE, R.I. (WPRI) \u2014 Most people come back from a vacation with photos, souvenirs and some memories.<\/p>\n
But one Rhode Island couple also received the surprise of a lifetime.<\/p>\n
Lauren Siwinski and Gary Glenn arrived in the Tampa Bay area earlier this week to visit some friends before going on a cruise.<\/p>\n
According to HCA Florida Brandon Hospital, the couple went to the emergency room when Siwinski started experiencing severe abdominal pain.<\/p>\n
It was there, the hospital said, that she found out she was not only pregnant, but going into labor.<\/p>\n
“Neither parent knew they were expecting. She had been on birth control and had experienced no signs of pregnancy,” the hospital wrote in a Facebook post<\/a>.<\/p>\n Hours later, they welcomed their first child, a healthy baby boy named Sebastian.<\/p>\n The couple said it came as a “total shock.”<\/p>\n “You’re like, ‘What are you talking about?’ Like, this isn’t real,” Glenn recalled. “And so the first thing I said to her after he left \u2026 I said, ‘I love you’ and then I said, ‘You’re going to be OK.'”<\/p>\n “I had no symptoms at all. Nothing whatsoever,” Siwinski said. “I had no idea there was a human inside of me.”<\/p>\n Sebastian’s grandmother flew down to meet her first grandchild as the couple waited for his birth certificate and adjusted their travel plans, according to the hospital.<\/p>\n Family members joked that the boy’s nickname should be “Cruise.”<\/p>\n Download the WPRI 12<\/a> and Pinpoint Weather 12<\/a> apps to get breaking news and weather alerts.<\/p>\n Watch 12 News Now on WPRI.com<\/a> or with the free WPRI 12+ TV app<\/a>.<\/p>\n Follow us on social media:<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n
