Influencer Micka Wright Perry, the sister of Ballerina Farm’s Hannah Neeleman, has announced she’s expecting her 11th baby at the same time that her eldest daughter is pregnant with her first.
They found out weeks apart
25-year-old Annicka Perry Gustin, the eldest daughter to Micka Wright Perry, found out she was pregnant with her first child only ten weeks after her mother announced her 11th pregnancy.
Micka spoke about her reaction to the news
Talking about receiving the news, Micka, 46, told People, “It was one of the best moments of my life.”
“I have a lot of great moments, but just how much I treasure and love motherhood and the joy that it brings and then knowing that Annicka would be having those same joys in her life, was definitely one of my favorites.”
Annicka admitted she was ‘a little sad’
On July 22, Micka announced the birth of her daughter Lottie, while Annicka is expecting her and husband Sean Gustin’s daughter in the next few weeks.
Annicka admitted she was ‘a little bit sad’ when she first learnt her mom was pregnant again because she and Gustin had been trying to conceive for six months.
But she got pregnant a few weeks later
“But we ended up getting pregnant two weeks after my mom announced her pregnancy,” Annicka gushed. “And so that was really exciting for both of us.”
The milestone raised some eyebrows
Although the mother and daughter being pregnant at the same time raised some eyebrows from online users, the two say they’re not phased by it.
“It didn’t feel weird for us at all,” Annicka said. “My mom has been pregnant my whole life, so it’s strange that I’m pregnant now, but it just felt so normal.”
Annicka’s glad her daughter is coming into a big family
Big families aren’t uncommon for the Perrys. Micka’s 34-year-old sister, Hannah Neeleman, who’s known online as Ballerina Farms, has eight kids herself.
And the eldest of 11 said she’s happy her daughter will be coming into a large family. She explained, “Knowing that my little girl is going to have a family member that’s so close in age with her—I just think it’s going to be so fun for them.”
