The cry of ‘it’s a girl’ is usually aappy surprise after the birth of a new addition. But with this family never had baby girl for five generations. That why when baby girl was born is the more happniess of her family .
The last time the Lawrie family saw the birth of a baby girl in their family, it was in 1809. Little did they know that they had to wait for another 200 years to see another baby girl born into the family.
The last time his family had a baby girl, it was in 1809 when Mark’s great-great Aunt Bessie was born in the same year as Charles Darwin, Abraham Lincoln and Edgar Allan Poe.
Mark has two other sons, 14-year-old Ben and 11-year-old Zac from his previous marriage. In 2012, Mark marriged with Hannah, and after that, they have the first baby, in hoping of whole family that baby would be a baby girl. And Hannah still believed that there was hope for them to get a daughter. But no one was surprised when Mason, a boy was born, like Mark’s family in five generations.
When they got married, Mark warned Hannah that they would more likely to get sons than daughters. “When Mark and I first got together, he told me how everyone in his family, for five generations, had produced boys. He warned me that the chances of us ever having a daughter were pretty remote,” she said.
Then in 2014, Hannah became pregnant for the second time and this time, the 200-year spell was finally ʙʀᴏᴋᴇɴ! The couple was told that they were expecting a girl at the 20-week scan.
When Little Myla Lawrie was born in October 2014, she was the first baby girl to be born in the Lawrie family since the last 200 years. To parents Hannah and Mark Lawrie, they never thought that such day would come as Mark’s family had never seen girls born in the family for five generations.
“I was in a state of disbelief. I kept asking the sonographer if she was sure,” Hannah recalled.
Mark was so emotional he was in tears, crying that it was a gift from his Dad who, sadly, ᴘᴀssᴇᴅ ᴀᴡᴀʏ just before she fell pregnant the second baby.
“Before he ᴘᴀssᴇᴅ ᴀᴡᴀʏ, He’d told us he’d love a granddaughter,” she added.
Whole family was extremely happy. Her baby name is Malya. She was born is treat like a princess, and loving of whole family.
The little girl has dozens of frilly pink tutus, flowery dresses, butterfly hair clips, and fluffy slippers to match her clothes. She got a whole squad of princes to protect her!
