After announcing their third pregnancy, they were excited to see it was a boy and a new brother for their first born.
“I am completely shocked,” admitted Joy-Anna in a video where they learned the sex of their third baby. “I 100 percent thought that it was a girl, convinced myself it was a girl … and I was waiting for two of those balloons to be pink and they weren’t. That’s crazy!”
“I’m so, so grateful,” Austin added. “I mean if it was a girl, I’d be just as happy, but I’m really glad Gideon’s gonna have a little brother.”
