Couple who released viral pregnancy announcement video after four miscarriages and a still birth

A Virginia woman warmed hearts across the nation when she shared a video of her husband's tearful reaction to the news that she was five months pregnant after 17 years of trying.
Dana Griffin-Graves revealed to her husband Arkell Graves, both 41, that they were expecting a boy in February, an amazing surprise after four miscarriages and a stillborn baby. But only three weeks after their video went viral, the couple's family revealed on Tuesday that the baby, named Kaleb Arkell Graves, had to be delivered at 24 weeks and that Dana is in critical care.




Her body has endured all it can take,' they wrote in the Facebook post to Dana and Arkell's  'Baby Bun' Facebook page. The family asked fans to keep the couple and baby Kaleb in their prayers and said they believed a miracle was about to happen.

They also revealed the inspiration behind Kaleb's name came from the Bible.
'Caleb was one of the spies sent by Moses to spy out the land of Canaan,' they wrote in a birth announcement for the couple's new baby boy.

'Only Caleb and Joshua advised the Hebrews to proceed immediately to take the land; for his faith Caleb was rewarded with the promise that he and his descendants should possess it.'
'Well our Kaleb has spied out this place he will call home and will be rewarded with this promise called life!'

Kaleb was a complete surprise to Dana and Arkell. After years of trying since they got married 17 years ago, the couple, from Dinwiddie County, wondered if it just wasn't meant to be.
'We had everything planned,' Dana told Buzzfeed. 'It just didn’t work out, so we kind of gave up.'

But then, earlier this year, Dana had started going walking with her friends for a bit of exercise. To her confusion, everyone else started losing weight except for her.

Seeking the cause of the problem, Dana went to see a doctor, and was giving a shocking diagnosis. Not only was she pregnant, but she was nearly at the five-month mark.
'I was ecstatic,' she said. 'We hadn’t planned anything, we weren’t trying.'
When it came to the task of finding out just how to tell Arkell, crafty Dana came up with a plan involving some buns, an oven and a strategically placed sonogram accompanied by a card reading: 'Baby's first picture'.
