A mum who found out she was having her fourth daughter during a very public gender reveal, says while she couldn’t be happier to be raising four daughters, gender disappointment is real.
And just to prove her point, she shared the emotional video of the moment she found out she was having another baby girl, complete with her tears and her daughter’s heartbreaking reaction.
Kendra Evens organised a Halloween-themed gender reveal, complete with a pumpkin releasing smoke. And as she and her husband and three daughters looked on, the Jack-O-Lantern revealed a trail of pink smoke.
@dailydoseofmygirlgang Gender disappointment is real so dont judge us, little did we know our nellie would complete our family & we couldnt be happier to be raising our 4 daughters! Couldnt imagine life without that sweet girl #girlgang #fourdaughters #girlmom #sahm #pumkinhead #thisishalloween #fall #genderreveal #daughters ♬ Oh Klahoma – Jack Stauber
It prompted Kendra to begin crying, with her head in her hands, and one of her daughters to yell, “We get a girl? What? Why do we have to get a girl?”
Kendra’s husband consoled his wife, with someone in the background shouting, ‘Girl gang all day!’.
“When I got pregnant with my fourth baby, I knew it was my last and after already having three amazing daughters, it was only natural that I, of course, wanted a boy,” Kendra told PEOPLE. “On top of that, all three of my pregnancies with my daughters were all the exact same, but with this last pregnancy everything was so different so in my head I swore it was a boy.
“Going into the gender reveal, I was hesitant on doing anything because I didn’t want to be disappointed in front of people if it wasn’t a boy, but then I was reminded it was my last pregnancy and I didn’t want to have any regrets.”
She admits that she had little control over her reaction, and even wrote in the video’s caption on TikTok: ‘Gender disappointment is real so dont judge us, little did we know our nellie would complete our family & we couldn’t be happier to be raising our 4 daughters! Couldn’t imagine life without that sweet girl.’
“All of my emotions immediately hit me, I couldn’t help but cry. There was no control of my emotions at that point, especially being pregnant. And all of these thoughts came flooding, thoughts that I’ll never have a son, never be able to experience what it’s like to have a mother-son bond, to have a ‘mama’s boy,’ or anything like that.
“Gender disappointment is real, both for mum and/or dad. Our feelings are valid as humans and gender disappointment should be more normalised. You don’t know anyone’s situation or feelings, and just because somebody is initially disappointed doesn’t mean baby is not loved.”
She says having four daughters is amazing, and that her girls are lucky to have each other.
