The baby’s here! Dana Griffin-Graves, the wife of Arkell Graves, whose video went viral after the announcement of their pregnancy delivered her baby yesterday at 24 weeks and one day. After 17 years, 4 miscarriages and one still birth, their prayers have been answered!
While we still are awaiting information on how baby and mommy are doing, we are overjoyed that the birth was a success.
In a facebook note, the baby boy’s aunt, Melanie Griffin-Hamlin, released this message after the birth:
The baby boy’s name, Kaleb Arkell Graves, or as some are calling him “baby buns” because of the buns announcement viral video, has a very special meaning. On the official family facebook page, this was posted during labor:
The couples faith and power of belief kept them this far and they said that they will still continue to lean on prayer as their journey through parenthood takes shape.
“We are believing God. It’s always been in His Hands, so we hold on to Him. Please keep us in your prayers today and always.”

Only a few weeks ago, Graves told her husband she was pregnant in a viral video that 8News shared last month. She had planted the baby’s ultrasound photos right next to a package of buns in the oven. When her husband figured it out, he broke down into tears of joy.
And today as of 2:02p.m. CST, even while basking in the glow of being new parents, Arkell and Dana they took time out to thank everyone for their prayers. The statement on their facebook page reads:
“The love and support from all over is amazing! Thank you for your continued prayers. Our miracle is giving HOPE back to so many and we are blessed to be a part of it! God bless each of you!”
