HALES CORNERS, Wis. (CBS 58) -- There is nothing out of the ordinary about snow on a January day in Wisconsin. Micah Beck’s birth was anything but ordinary.

Last January, Analysia Beck and her husband Daniel were headed to a hospital at two in the morning to give birth to their third child, but Micah just couldn’t wait.

“It’s Micah’s birthday and we know because it's starting to snow,” said Beck. “I think in the moment, I was really scared that something was gonna go wrong and no one was there. He’s my chill baby and it's funny because he was brought in in a chaotic situation and it was so busy and crazy.

Micah was born at 4:12 a.m. in a McDonald's parking lot in Hales Corners.

“I think the fact that not only it happened in a McDonald's, but it happened in a snowstorm,” said Beck.

Now, Micah’s getting ready to celebrate his first birthday. He’ll turn one year old on Sunday.

“In one breath, it feels like it was two minutes ago and another, it does feel like a year. He’s such a good baby that it feels like he’s been around forever,” said Beck.

Beck says it’s not the way she imagined her youngest son’s journey into the world.

“As soon as it happened and we knew that he was okay, it was instantly funny.”

It’s a birth story they won't let him forget.

“He’s never gonna live it down,” said Beck.
