“I will forever advocate for birth photography because this is one of my very favorite photos of all time. Thank you @laurenjollyphoto !! 💕” Nancy wrote in a post on her Instagram. After finding out the photo was going viral, the now mom-of-three shared her pregnancy details in a long post alongside the photo, relaying the epic story of meeting their newborn son.
After being surprised by the sex during the birth of their first two daughters, Nancy explained, Will insisted they know ahead of time for their third child, wanting to mentally prepare for the possibility of becoming a father to three daughters.
“June 9: You’re having your third girl!” she documents in the post.

She was due on December 10 and headed to her birth center on December 13, after her husband had contracted two different strains of the flu the day before, and she had caught a stomach bug.
“December 13: I drive to the birth center with intense contractions with my mom at 11am and meet my hubby there (he spent the night at his moms because #flu),” Nancy explains. “Two hours later, my baby was born with me halfway in the tub! 15 minutes later, we went to cut the chord and I said… ‘WHAT IS THAT?!? Is this a boy baby!!?’ Indeed, it was a boy! 🤣💙 My husband @willrray quickly lifted his leg to check and then proceeded to literally fall on the floor. (The picture…is him checking!)”

“Literally cannot get enough of my little sidekick. His thigh rolls are legit and he’s been belly laughing since 6 weeks,” she shared on Instagram. “Being a boy mom has me all 😍😭🙌🏻.”
