A newborn baby scored some unexpected gifts, thanks to a wrong number.

As Mark and Lindsey Lashley celebrated the birth of their son, Cason, new grandma Teresa couldn't wait to spread the word. 

One problem - her happy text messages accidentally went to a wrong number belonging to Deorick Williams, a total stranger.

Williams played along, offering his congratulations and offering to stop by and take a picture with the baby boy. After Teresa apologized, Deorick asked for more information.

"What's the room number? Bainbridge hospital right? We have gifts," he wrote.

Teresa replied with the info and Deorick and his brother Dennis were on their way.

While he may not have gotten a picture with young Cason, Deorick did take a picture with the new, proud parents, which Teresa shared on Facebook. Deorick shared the photo Saturday and it has been shared more than 20,000 times.

Speaking Tuesday to WALB-TV, Williams said he and his brother were welcomed with open arms.

"I mean, basically, it doesn't matter how you look, as long as you come with a kind heart. No matter where you come from, as long as you have a kind heart," he said.

The brothers brought the proud new parents diapers, pacifiers and baby bottles.
