Mad.
A Texas couple organised the most elaborate gender reveal party we’ve come across and we’re thinking they might just have overdone it.
Maybe.
Though I mean, hey, it’s their pregnancy so who are we to judge?
Rachel and Brad Lee, already parents to son Brayson, six, and daughter Brexlann, 18 months, originally planned not to have a gender reveal for their third baby but then changed their mind after encouragement from their family and friends.
“We weren’t going to do a gender reveal because we’re busy with work and everything,” Brad told Fox News. “But our family was so disappointed because we had a Mexican fiesta themed one for Brexlann.”
This couple obviously takes the mantra “go hard or go home” seriously because, once their mind had been changed, they decided this was going to be biggest reveal yet.
This baby’s gender was going to be revealed by airplane.
Brad’s friend, David Sykes, is an aerial crop duster and sprays his plants with pesticides from an airplane. They decided to use David’s plane to shoot out a jet of water vapour mixed with either pink or blue dye.

David was given the task of ordering the dye as neither Brad nor Rachel knew the gender of the baby until the reveal.
The Reeds and their friends and family gathered at the Sunray Airport in Texas on 8 July for the big event. They watched with delight as the plane streaked past in a cloud of pink.
“We had a little family party and we all waited for the plane to fly over us at our tiny local airport,” Brad said. “All of a sudden he dropped out gallons of pink water into the open air.”
The baby girl is due on 22 January next. Her parents are keeping with tradition and have picked a name beginning with ‘Br’ to fit with the other names of the family.
“Her name will be Brynlee Faith Reed. I’m Brad and my brother is Brent, and my kids are Brayson and Brexlee so it’s a family tradition.”
