The streak is over, and one Idaho family is tickled pink about it.
Baby girl breaks family's 102-year record of boys
April 27, 201600:37The Underdahl family welcomed its first girl in more than 100 years, thanks to the April 12 arrival of Aurelia Marie Ann.
"She's pretty special, she's kind of a miracle," said the girl’s mother, Ashton Underdahl, who initially assumed she was having another boy. She learned she was actually carrying a girl — a little sister for her 22-month-old son Archer — about halfway through her pregnancy.
Underdahl said her husband, Scott, was in shock for the first several days.
“He was like, ‘Really? Really? Are you sure?'" she told NBC-affiliate KHQ. “He kept thinking, even though we were in the delivery room, he’s like, ‘What if they made a mistake and it’s been a boy all along?’”
Underdahl said she knew her husband’s side of the family had a history of boys, but she didn’t realize how far back it went until her father-in-law started researched the family line. That’s when everyone learned that a girl had not been born into the family since 1914, when Underdahl's husband’s great-great aunt, Bernice, was born.
Underdahl said she's been deluged with media calls since news about her little record-breaker broke, but she can understand the interest.
"It will be fun," she said about her little girl. "She'll add in some pink and some sweet!"
