Still processing my epic (horrible) gender reveal FAIL 😫
So let me start by saying my SO and I have 2 beautiful daughters.
We had our anatomy scan today and I’ve been hoping for a boy but trying not to get my hopes too high as I expected a girl. I just don’t get what I want lol. Well the plan was to get the ultrasound and not find out what baby #3 is until our gender reveal party that was tonight (2/16 @ 5pm). We hard boiled a dozen eggs, and dyed 6 blue and 6 pink then dyed 2 other raw eggs one blue and one pink. I brought the envelope with the gender to my moms work as one of her coworkers was going to switch out a hard boiled egg for a raw egg of the color gender we were having....my mom explained this several times. Fast forward to the reveal party, mind you I’ve been waiting impatiently the entire day lol. My daughters both grab an egg of different colors to start cracking on their heads to find the raw egg and reveal the gender. FIRST egg my oldest picks is blue and boom it cracks, egg all over....(all the while my five year old is determined to smash a hard boiled egg on her head repeatedly 😂)
I’m crying, no, SOBBING happy tears...I couldn’t believe it! I got exactly what I wanted!! No way that’s possible.....
And that’s exactly right. I opened the envelope all while crying so happy hysterically in front of friends and family as they are all so excited it’s a boy, only to find in the envelope that in fact it isn’t a boy, it’s a girl and my heart sank so fast. The rollercoaster of emotions was intense and It took me a minute to process. Who messes up that bad? This lady put BOTH colored raw eggs in the carton. I feel like I had a cruel joke played on me...it was almost embarrassing actually. I don’t know why but I’m still having a hard time with it all, it felt so real I was so excited! I do have to say I’m NOT saying I’m unhappy it’s a girl, It just would’ve been so much easier to handle had the reveal went as planned with no rollercoaster ride 😔 doesn’t help the tech didn’t give me many pictures plus a TERRIBLE potty shot! so there’s my nightmare reveal party, I hope everyone else’s fun filled special Day goes much better than mine!
