“We didn’t find out that Max was a boy until he arrived, but decided to spoil the surprise this time,” she joked.

And both parents are elated to add a baby girl to their growing family.

“Although we would’ve been just as happy with a second boy, we are very much looking forward to giving Max a little sister!” Trista said.
