Move over, Zenon: Aurelia Underdahl is the new girl of the century.

Aurelia is just over two weeks old, but she's already famous in her hometown of Post Falls, Idaho. That's because she's the first girl born into her family in a whopping 101 years.

According to local news reports, Aurelia's birth on April 12 broke a streak of seven male births over the course of four generations. 

"Maybe it took more than 100 years to create perfection," grandfather Conrad Underdahl said.

As it turns out, the Underdahls probably aren't the only family who have experienced this phenomenon. Several commenters on the Coeur d'Alene Press Facebook page have reported even longer streaks.

"Our family has this beat. My grandpa was born in 1914 and including him, we've had 14 boys born in a row," one commenter wrote.
