Nov 14, 2019 by apost team

Parents who are preparing for the birth of a child are often filled with anticipation and excitement. This was the case for an Irish couple who was busy making preparations for the birth of their third daughter when they got the surprise of a baby boy. 

According to the Mirror, when Sarah Heaney found out she was having a baby girl, she was very excited. Because she was already the mother of two young daughters, seven-year-old Ella and two-year-old Abbie, she knew what to expect and set about preparing to make her newest daughter feel right at home in their newly expanded family.

Even though Sarah was looking forward to having another girl, her oldest daughter, Ella, had hoped for a baby brother.

Sarah and her husband William had quite a few opportunities to see their new baby because Sarah had more scans than typical during her pregnancy due to concerns that the new baby was not meeting all growth milestones as expected.

Each time they were told that their new baby was a girl until the very last scan which was performed two days after Sarah’s due date had passed. That is when Sarah found out that the baby that her daughters had taken to calling "Luna" was, in fact, a boy.

Because her husband did not accompany her to her last scan, Sarah got to surprise her husband and daughters with the news. Needless to say, the family was quite surprised and quickly scrambled to buy new baby clothes before little brother Max was born.

"When Max arrived I asked everyone to double-check and sure enough he was a boy. It was a bit of a whirlwind at the time but he is perfect and we wouldn't change him for the world," Sarah told The Mirror
