It was around 4:30 a.m.
"When I heard the baby cry, it was a surreal moment," the dispatcher tells PEOPLE. "I couldn’t believe that I had just helped someone give birth” on Father’s Day 2023 when Atlanta-area 911 dispatcher Stephanie Brito received a phone call from a QuikTrip gas station employee in Henry County, Georgia, informing her that a 28-year-old female at the store was going into labor.
Working together with the QuikTrip employee, Brito says she tried to comfort the expectant mother and suggested they find a quiet and private place at the gas station for her delivery. Meanwhile, about 10 hours after the baby was born, Atlanta emergency room nurse April Sweatman received a phone call from her brother, David Dalrymple, 61, a lifelong bachelor, while celebrating Father’s Day with her family at a Thai restaurant.

I just truly believe this child is going to go places. I wouldn’t trade this little guy for the world. He’s absolutely amazing.”
