A woman named Meg McLachlan shared the video that showcases her parents’ reaction when they came to know that they are going to be grandparents to a baby girl. “Telling my parents we’re pregnant with a little girl after four boys,” says a text insert on the video. The woman’s mother screamed in joy when she read that she is going to become a grandma to a baby girl and her father just burst out crying.

“No greater people than my parents. They always give the best reactions to their children’s news. Their children’s joy is truly their joy. My dad has Alzheimer’s but every time I see him he asks about baby girl and can’t wait for her to get here. My mom immediately started crocheting her a blanket just as she has done for her other 23 grandchildren. The most precious gift. So grateful for my sweet parents,” says the caption of the video.
