POST FALLS, Idaho – After years of giving birth to only boys, an Idaho family got the surprise of a century – a baby girl.

For the Underdahl family from northern Idaho, it was the first girl born into the family in 101 years, according to the Coeur d’Alene Press.

Aurelia Mare Ann, at 8 pounds and 3 ounces, put an end to the streak April 12.

“Everyone has been hoping for a girl,” said father Scott Underdahl. “Maybe it took more than 100 years to create perfection.”

He added that he never knew what an Underdahl girl looked like, but now he can see it – she has her grandfather’s nose.
