DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) —

The Des Moines Register reports Stephanie Hughes originally went to her doctor because she was having cramps. Then she learned she was pregnant.

Hughes called her husband to give him the news Friday morning. Then she gave birth around 11 a.m. to a 5 pound, 13 ounce baby girl named Ames.

Hughes says the past few days have been a whirlwind, but she's looking forward to getting to know her little surprise. The couple's three older children are excited about the family's new addition.
