If you decide to wait until the day of delivery to find out the gender of your baby, you’re likely to be overjoyed in any case. So you can understand this mother’s reaction after giving birth to a baby boy, especially given the fact that he was her family’s first male in 50 years.

Dara’s tale. Fortunately for the internet, Dara Crouch, 29, was caught on camera when she realized her baby’s sex. She informed ABC that she chose not to learn sex since she imagined the baby was a girl and that was the reason for her amazing reaction.

Photographer Neely Ker-Fox was invited to capture the precious moments during the delivery, but what she did not expect was that she was going be taking an epic snap of a history-making baby. Crouch, a mother of two, said she never expected to have a baby boy.

Throughout her pregnancy, she was certain in her conviction that she would be having another little girl. The last boy that we know was born on my side of the family is 50 years ago.

Ker-Fox said everyone believed a baby girl would be born that day, but learning that the child was a boy was just an incredible surprise. We all saw that very vulnerable moment and we started crying when we heard it was a boy.

Little Liam Crouch weighed 7 pounds 15 ounces at birth. We imagine that spending nine months thinking you’re having a girl, then being surprised with a little boy has to be really amazing!!
