GENDER REVEAL VIDEO!
As some of you might know, The Art of Making a Baby blog crashed due to high traffic when I posted the video. Adjusting my plan to unlimited traffic didn’t solve the problem, so my hosting co is looking into it, but I’m not holding my breath since it’s a holiday weekend. (update: The site is back up!)
So i figured I’d post it here, so that you guys had the opportunity to comment. Feel free to email me as well at contact {at} prebabyblog.com
So here it is guys!
You’ve been bugging me for 2 days (in the cutest way possible) to post the sex of our baby.
Yesterday we spent the whole day filming and going to the doctor’s appointment and then I stayed up till 4:30 am editing the gender reveal video ( not the smartest idea! lol).
So now it’s ready. It’s far from perfect, but to make it perfect, I would need a lot more time.
A few notes before you watch:
- This video is intended mostly for friends and family, so it’s relatively long, but it shows the whole reveal process the way we experienced it.
- It’s really personal, emotional and sappy and at times really dorky ( mostly on my part as usual)
- The dorky parts really shows me the way my friends know me.
- I have so many bloopers from this video that you will definitely get a follow up gag reel. ( i only included one blooper in this video. at the end.)
- The ultrasound technician said she was 100% sure of the sex of the baby ( and later looking at the ultrasound, there’s no doubt!
- No, we’re NOT REALLY painting the baby room that particular color.
I am aware that my “bawlfest” sounded like “ballfest” and my husband and I spent a good 30 minutes laughing our butts off at that.
And I will be writing my 19 week update in a few days here, but the baby was perfect and healthy.
Please don’t forget to VOTE daily!

You’re free to “steal” it! I can’t believe you are open to a 6th kiddo! Good for you
Congrats! Love the video. We did a gender reveal video for our family/friends who live far away too! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5HazQo82P98
It was very cute
Many Congratulations to all three of you!
The video was super cute – thanks for sharing it with us!
OMG I had no idea this would even get me “bawling” too! I’m SO super excited and happy for you both.
CONGRATULATIONS!
Yep!!! Crying here too guys!!! SO HAPPY FOR YOU!!!! Loved the video!!!
This was a fantastic way to capture this exciting day! The video was flawless in my opinion because it depicted all of your emotions so well and was so beautiful to watch. You are going to LOVE having a daughter. It really is an incredible thing to be a grown woman and then get to redo all the little things that we haven’t done in years with a little person and teach them what it means to be a woman. It’s a blast!!! CONGRATS to you both!
Hi again you two
The video had even me weepy ! Congrats to the both of you !!
All my best
