OFFICIAL GENDER REVEAL! | Officialmartinfam

Hey #MartinFam! 🎉 We’ve got the BIGGEST news of the year for you right here, and we’re beyond thrilled to finally share it with you. Today is the official gender reveal for Baby Martin, and we couldn’t have asked for a more exciting way to celebrate this journey with our family, our friends, and YOU—our amazing online fam.

So, if you’ve been following along since our pregnancy announcement, you already know how emotional and special this chapter has been for us. From that first ultrasound to the baby name brainstorming sessions, it’s been a whirlwind of love, nerves, and a whole lot of cravings (mainly on my part—hi, it’s Jess, your favorite emotional mom-to-be). 🥹

Let me rewind a little, because we know you’re here for the reveal, but trust us—this whole day deserves a full recap.

The Day We Planned It All

We knew we didn’t want a basic gender reveal. No popping a balloon in our backyard or opening a mystery box in our kitchen. Not that there’s anything wrong with that—it’s just not us. The OfficialMartinFam needed to go big, and most importantly, make it meaningful.

So we rented a small outdoor space at Pinewood Grove, just 20 minutes from our home. It’s the same park where Ethan proposed to me five years ago. Full circle moment, right?

We invited just close friends and family for the in-person reveal, but we made sure to have our videographer crew (aka our cousins with iPhones and ring lights 😄) ready to capture every second for the vlog and our community.

Team Pink or Team Blue?

Before we dive into the big moment, let’s talk guesses. We had a poll on Instagram for a full week. The results?

• Team Pink (girl) – 56%
• Team Blue (boy) – 44%

Surprisingly close!

Ethan was 100% Team Girl. He kept saying, “I just know I’m gonna be wrapped around a little girl’s finger. I can feel it in my bones.” 🩷 Meanwhile, I was more neutral. I honestly just wanted a healthy baby (I know, cliché, but true!). Deep down though, I had a feeling it was a boy. Maybe it was the spicy food cravings?

Our toddler, Mason, however, proudly yelled “BABY SISTER!” every time we brought it up, even though we’re pretty sure he didn’t know what that meant. 😂

The Reveal Setup

The theme was “What Will Baby Bee?”—complete with bee-themed cupcakes, honey jar party favors, and a giant yellow and white balloon arch. And at the center of it all: a massive honeycomb piñata filled with either pink or blue confetti and candies.

We gave the honor of pulling the string to Mason (with a little help). He’s the soon-to-be big brother after all, and this was his moment to shine.

As everyone gathered around with their cameras ready, Ethan counted down: “Three… two… one…”

The Moment

With a big tug, the piñata burst open and a cloud of PINK confetti rained down on us! 🎉💗

The crowd erupted with cheers, laughter, and a few tears (not naming names… but yes, mostly me). We were having a baby girl!

Ethan fell to his knees in shock and joy, his hands covering his mouth. “I KNEW IT!” he shouted, tears welling in his eyes. He picked up Mason and twirled him in the air as pink paper floated around us.

It was one of those surreal, cinematic moments you never forget—something we’ll treasure forever.

The Emotions Hit Hard

After the initial excitement, the emotions really settled in. We found a quiet moment away from the crowd to sit on a park bench and just breathe. Knowing we were going to have a daughter made everything feel so much more real.

We started talking about names right there and then (spoiler alert: we’ve narrowed it down to three, but you’ll have to wait for that video 😏). We imagined her nursery, her first words, her laugh. I thought about braiding her hair, helping her pick out her first dress, and Ethan? He already vowed to be at every dance recital and tea party.

It’s funny how a single moment can make a dream feel so tangible.

Sharing It With You

We know many of you have been with us from the very beginning—from our early YouTube days when we were just two awkward twenty-somethings filming Sunday morning pancake fails in our apartment kitchen. Some of you watched us fall in love, grow together, get married, and become parents for the first time.

So this moment isn’t just ours—it’s yours too.

The DMs, the comments, the love you’ve poured into our little family has kept us going through the sleepless nights, the tough times, and even the mom guilt I sometimes battle. Your encouragement means the world to us. And this baby girl? She’s already so loved by thousands around the world. 💕

What’s Next?

We’ve got so much in store for you all! Here’s a little sneak peek of what’s coming to the channel:

• Baby Name Reveal (with a sweet twist—think cupcakes and clues)
• Nursery Makeover Series (we’re going full-on soft boho vibes!)
• Mom-to-Be Diaries (unfiltered pregnancy updates, bump pics, and the reality of it all)
• Mason Meets Baby (coming soon—probably the most heart-melting video we’ll ever post)

And yes, we’ll be vlogging the birth—tastefully, of course—but it’s a part of our journey and we want to share it with the people who helped us build this dream.

Thank You, From the Bottom of Our Hearts

We just want to end this post by saying thank you. Whether you’ve been with us since our first video or you just found us yesterday, you’re part of our story. And now, you’re part of her story too.

Here’s to baby girl Martin—coming soon, in all her pink, glittery, giggly glory.

With all our love,
Jess, Ethan, Mason & Baby Girl Martin 💕
