The moment parents find out the gender of their baby can be riddled with emotion, regardless of whether or not the parents were wishing for their baby to be a boy or girl. But rarely do parents faint when they find out. However, Julio Pena, a father of four girls, did just that when his wife Kari broke the big news.
At a gender reveal party, Kari decided to surprise her husband with the news that he was going to become a father of their first son. According to ABC News, the reveal party was also planned by their 16-year-old daughter Chastity who went to the bakery and ordered the blue cake for her parents. Kari told ABC how Julio yearned for a son:
“He was so nervous. He was like…he was dying for a boy forever.”
Of course, this is not to say that he doesn’t love his daughters, and it’s important to realize there are never any guarantees in life. While a mom may secretly want a girl so she can play dress up with her, her daughter may end up preferring to fix cars and play basketball.
