Some parents can get very excited when it comes to decorating a nursery room and buying clothes for their bundle of joy. Welcoming a baby girl can turn into a Disney fairytale.

Everything was pink–the walls, furniture, clothes. Sexton was ready to welcome her baby princess.
I moved house before I started the nursery so I went all out, I got pink everything and I had 'Isabella' written all over the walls, I was over the moon when I found out I was going to have a little girl. I thought I'm going to have a little best friend for the rest of my life.
When the time came, the mom was left in shock when she delivered a baby boy. She had to fumble to come up with a new name. Little Alfie Sexton was born perfectly healthy and well.
When the midwife said 'he's here' I was like 'what do you mean 'he'?' It was a huge shock - I had no idea I was having a boy.
The nursery had to be redecorated. The mom had to return a whole lot of pink clothes to the store. The single mom said that this was the craziest experience of her life, but she loves her baby boy more than anything and she couldn’t be happier.
