“The shock of it being another boy, for Mary, it lasted a couple of hours. There were some tears shed, I won’t lie,” Walker said with a laugh. “It was because of expectation, but that was overcome with the thought that we’re not in control of that. We don’t decide if it’s a boy or girl, and she was able to understand that after a while.”
