Kim Guiley confidently said that she and her husband are expecting a second baby girl in this second pregnancy. However, her reaction at the time of delivery, captured in a powerful photo, shows her shock when she learns that a boy named Theo will be joining their family.

Already parents to a 3-year-old daughter named Hazel, Kim and Travis thought they were about to have another baby girl. They decided not to go to the antenatal clinic to see it as a surprise until the birth, adding an extra layer of excitement to their journey.

Kim went into labor in July and was advised by her midwife to move to the hospital due to her buttock bones obstructing the baby’s path. When her husband helped her up, she felt the baby want to come out. The birth of the baby happened so quickly that they did not have time to take precautions. Despite the intense pain in her tailbone, Kim went ahead and successfully delivered a healthy baby boy, despite their expectations of a girl.

Photographer Susannah Gill captured the exact moment Kim discovered the baby’s gender, creating a unique and memorable photo. Susannah explains: “It was a magical moment because there was so much going on at once. It was around 5am after a long busy night.

“The midwife gave the baby to Kim, wrapped it in a blanket and she caught a glimpse. She thought she was pregnant with a baby girl because her belly was like a first pregnancy,” Susannah said.

Kim and Travis had a great time with Hazel and Theo. Although they secretly wish to have a son, their biggest wish is a healthy and happy child. “Knowing that we have a healthy baby boy is the culmination of our joy and happiness,” Kim said.

The photo captures the emotion and surprise intact on Kim and Travis’ faces as they take an unexpected turn in their parenting journey. It symbolizes the joy and resilience that accompanies the arrival of a long-awaited and cherished child.
