Woman unexpectedly gives birth at Golden Corral in Arkansas, names baby after restaurant

What started as a casual dinner at a Golden Corral restaurant ended with the surprise addition of a pint-sized family member.

Tayvia Woodfork visited a North Little Rock, Arkansas, location with her family to enjoy a meal, but headed to the restroom after experiencing stomach pains, Fox Television Stations reported.

The 26-year-old's complaints were a result of a surprise pregnancy, and she was in active labor at 37 weeks.

Tayvia Woodfork reportedly experienced a "cryptic pregnancy," which is "when a pregnant person doesn’t know they’re pregnant…a person may only realize they’re pregnant because labor begins," according to Cleveland Clinic.

Tayvia Woodfork, a Mississippi resident, delivered a healthy, 6-pound baby boy.

The mother paid tribute to the location in which her baby was born by naming him Tamaar Kylon Corral Woodfork.

Staff from Golden Corral's North Little Rock location shared the announcement on their Facebook page.

He was just born in our Golden Corral restaurant in North Little Rock, AR. His mom was so excited that she decided to include Corral in his legal name," the post said.

And don't worry, we'll make sure Mom is well taken care of with Golden Corral gift cards… while she's taking care of you."

The restaurant came through on their promise by gifting the 26-year-old Mississippi mom with an assortment of gifts and a $200 gift card, Tameka Woodfork, Tayvia Woodfork's mother, wrote on Facebook.
