Dr. Travis Stork & Wife Parris Welcome Their First Child, Grayson
The adage about a stork delivering a baby to its family rang true for one family Wednesday morning.
Dr. Travis Stork and his wife Parris welcomed their first child, a son, in the early hours of June 17. Travis shared the news on Instagram and introduced his baby to the world.
He wrote, "Grayson Lane Stork was born at 1:10am early this morning. He’s long at 22 inches and 8 lbs 6 oz. He had some trouble breathing due to meconium in his lungs so he’s still in the ICU but he’s doing great!"
The Season 8 Bachelor's caption continued, "He’s so very sweet and his mom was an absolute rockstar. I know everyone says when you see your first born it changes you. For me, it was seeing Grayson together with his mother. That’s my family. My team. And I couldn’t be more blessed!"

Parris shared similar sentiments in her Instagram post about their baby.
"Grayson Lane Stork arrived fashionably late at 1:10 am this morning measuring 22 inches long and weighing 8 pounds 6 ounces," she penned. "He is so sweet and chill and I can’t believe he’s ours. I’m so grateful to have such wonderful family and friends to help make sure that he grows up to be a good person."
Travis told People, "We are so excited and blessed to welcome Grayson Lane into this world. He had a bit of a rough go of it, initially requiring his first night be in the NICU, but he's doing great. He's sweet and peaceful and his daddy can't wait to hold him for the first time once he's out of the ICU!"

In May, Travis spoke to People about becoming a father and how he and Parris were handling her pregnancy amid the coronavirus pandemic.
He said, "More than anything, I'm just really excited to meet him and am hoping for a healthy baby boy and a healthy Parris in June."
Additionally, the co-host of "Doctors" said he was "pumped to be a dad." Parris explained to the publication that she felt "fortunate to be married to a doctor," especially during quarantine.
"He's a calming presence for me," she shared.
Congrats, Travis and Parris!
