They were expecting their new daughter to be born soon, as Alyse was about 37 weeks along. Alyse had experienced some contractions earlier in the day, but the hospital decided she could be sent home since labor was not progressing.\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To kill some time on that evening, the couple <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/people.com\/woman-names-baby-after-restaurant-she-gave-birth-at-8654305\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">paid a visit<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to their favorite seafood spot, Lily\u2019s Seafood, thinking they were going to have a meal&#8230; but the Sparkmans&#8217; baby had other plans.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With her trout salad in front of her and only one forkful tasted, Alyse proclaimed that her water had broken.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sean recalled, \u201cShe took one bite and goes, \u2018My water\u2019s breaking!
