Congrats to man who caught a Pidgey on 'Pokémon Go' while his wife gave birth
Jonathan and Jessica Theriot both had life-changing Thursdays this week.
Jessica gave birth to the couple's third child, a daughter — adding to their family and bringing into the world the wonder of new human life. Jonathan caught a Pidgey, a fictional bird, on Pokémon Go.
"When your wife is about to have a baby and a Pokémon shows up and you have to low-key catch it," Jonathan wrote on Imgur.

While we understand and respect Jonathan's drive to complete his Pokédex, we are unmoved by the presence of a Pidgey — a very common and boring Pokémon — pretty much anywhere. We hope there was an Arbok in the hospital parking lot or something.
Despite many Reddit recommendations, the Theriots did not name their child Pidgey.
