The couple who brought the internet to tears with their viral pregnancy announcement video is going to have their baby earlier than expected.

Arkell Graves and Dana Griffin-Graves, who made waves on the internet after Arkell’s joyful reaction to finding out that his wife had a “bun in the oven,” have announced on Facebook that Dana will be giving birth at just 24 weeks, reports the Daily News.

“Today, our baby will have to be delivered at 24 weeks and one day,” they said in a post on Facebook. “Dana is in critical care, her body has endured all it can take. 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.”

For the Graves family, this is yet another trial in a journey filled with setbacks. They have endured four miscarriages and one stillbirth in their quest to have a child together over the past 17 years, and we, along with many other people who witnessed their joy at being pregnant, sincerely hope that things will turn out for this deserving couple.

The couple went viral after a pregnancy announcement video in which Dana put a literal bun in the oven along with a sonogram.
