The White Meadow Lake 4-year-old's wish is finally coming true. Well, mostly.

Emily seemed excited for a sibling when her parents, Jeff and Arlene Murray, told her they were expecting a baby. 

Turned out, Emily was hoping for a girl, her parents found out when she had a meltdown during their gender reveal.

"I’m not really surprised," said Arlene, a Fair Lawn native and owner of Polkadot Cake Shop in Lyndhurst.

"She’s pretty dramatic and animated."

But after a couple conversations with mom and dad, Emily is warming up to the idea of a baby brother.

"She now realizes he won’t be borrowing any of her princess dresses or imposing on mommy and Emmy girl days," Arlene said. "We’re very excited."
