The brilliant moment was captured by birth photographer Susannah Gill Photographic Storytelling – and Kim admitted she “can’t stop laughing” at it.
She wrote alongside the picture: “After a lifetime of dreaming about one of each, but months of feeling so strongly that we were having another girl, this is the moment we discovered Theo’s sex!!”
After the birth of their first child, Hazel, the couple suffered a tragic miscarriage.
When Kim got pregnant again they decided against finding out the sex of the baby, opting to keep it a surprise.

Kim admitted she had hoped to parent both a girl and a boy as she comes from a family of one girl and one boy, but never thought she would.
She told Mail Online: “After experiencing a loss, all that mattered to us was a healthy baby, and we would have been thrilled either way.”
Over the course of her pregnancy, Kim had convinced herself they were having another girl.
But when she opened the newborn’s legs and realised they’d had a little boy, Kim said she was “overcome with shock and joy”.
She added on her blog, Santa Cruz Family Doula Collective: “Shocked was an understatement.
“I was blown away and totally elated. I have always dreamed of having both a daughter and a son but throughout my pregnancy.
