This is the awkward moment a mother was left in tears at her gender reveal when she discovered she was having a boy.
Nicole Smith and her fiancé Ryan*, from Dover in Delaware, were having an intimate gender reveal with a couple of close friends using colored cupcakes when she realised she would be having a third son.
The 29-year-old had undergone seven IVF miscarriages but admits she had been hoping to have a little girl to balance out the all-boys household.
The mother-of-two can be seen biting into the cupcake with her partner before realising the inside is blue and bursting into tears.
While Nicole adores her three-year-old son and nine-year-old stepson, she'd been envisioning having a girl as a 'mini me' she could 'dress up' and share 'dresses, bows, and hairstyles' with rather than 'playing in the dirt'.
This is the awkward moment Nicole Smith burst out crying when she realised she was having another boy at her gender reveal
Nicole, who works as a case manager for early intervention with children with disabilities, says she thinks her emotions were just running high because her tears soon turned to happy crying.
After sharing the clip on TikTok, the mother claimed she got 'a lot of negative comments telling her she's ungrateful', which she admits was 'hurtful'.
She says she wouldn't change being a 'boy mom' for the world and that she is the 'furthest thing from ungrateful'.
Nicole said: 'I have a son and a stepson and I was really hoping for a little girl of my own to have.
'I had put in my head that we were going to have a little girl so once I bit into the cupcake I was a little surprised. Initially I was hoping to see some pink in there.
'I had an idea that I would be able to have a little girl and share all the dresses and the bows and hairstyles with.
'Right now, I love playing in the dirt but I was hoping for a little girl to balance out the household.
'I think it was that dream that I had in my head and that I'd made up that I was going to have a little mini me. I kind of realised that wasn't going to happen anymore.
Nicole, 29, says 'emotions were high' in the moment as she had always dreamed of having a little girl to dress up
Nicole already has a three-year-old son and nine-year-old stepson and says this was her last chance to have a girl (pictured with her family and fiancé Ryan)
'I got a little upset, emotions are obviously high.'
Nicole became pregnant after previously having seven IVF miscarriages.
She added that the reason she got so upset is because she has a genetic condition that means she can't have any more children - and this was her last chance to have a baby girl.
She said she 'loves' being a boy mom but felt that it was 'bittersweet' she wouldn't get a little girl to dress up.
She continued: 'Once I started getting really upset, I was more upset because I was happy.
'I'm more than happy and excited now to have another boy and be a boy mom forever, it just caught me a little off guard.
'I do love being a boy mom. I was clearly made to have a bunch of boys.
'I love being a boy mom but it was just bittersweet that I wasn't going to have a little girl to dress up with me.'
Nicole couldn't help but burst into tears as she saw the inside of the cupcake (pictured) was blue, meaning she was having another little boy
Nicole says it 'caught her off guard', but she soon found herself laughing about it and now thinks she may not have even been able to handle having a little girl.
Nicole, whose baby is due in July, said: 'Once we were done with the pictures we were just laughing.
'We were realising like "why did we ever think we would have a girl? We have a bunch of boys".
'It may not have been exactly what we were hoping for but I can't believe we made it this far and that we are going to have another baby.
'It made it all a bit more real to know he had a gender because we haven't got this far in years.
'The next day, it really hit me that I'm 100% made to be a boy mom and I probably don't want to take on all the things that come with being a woman.
'I felt happy and it's just settling in that this is what our future will be.'
Nicole organised the photoshoot with a couple of close friends and her best friend made the cupcakes specially for the occasion.
Those in the comments rushed to express support as mothers said they had also experienced 'gender disappointment'
The mum posted the pictures online for friends and family to see but didn't expect the video to go viral, gaining more than three million views.
Nicole posted it online with the caption: 'Hey I just wanted one girl. Here's to being surrounded by four boys for the rest of my existence. P.S I am so happy to have my boys, it just threw me off a little.'
Those in the comments rushed to express support, writing: 'I was convinced I would be a boy mom because that’s all I imagined and I have three girls. Gender disappointment is so real!';
'Found out yesterday I'm having a second boy I feel this';
'Gender disappointment is real don’t let anyone make you feel bad! I did the same thing but I couldn’t imagine my life without my boys.'
Despite receiving some 'hurtful' comments which have accused her of being 'ungrateful', Nicole says she 'wouldn't change anything for the world'.
Nicole said: 'I wasn't expecting that to go viral because I'm not a TikToker. It was really just for my friends and family to see.
'The reaction online has been kind of hurtful. There's been a lot of negative comments telling me I'm ungrateful.
Nicole's baby is due in July and she says she has now come to terms with being a 'boy mom'
'I'm the furthest from ungrateful as I've lost a lot of pregnancies. I'm so happy to have this.
'It's also been good that thousands of mom have said 'the same thing happened to me' and that they cried.
'It hurts for a couple of seconds because you envision something that isn't going to happen anymore.
'But once everything's settled, I know this was what's meant to be and that's what the other mom's say too, that they had a vision but now they wouldn't change anything for the world.
'I'm going to love every second of it. I love every second of my children and I wouldn't change anything.'
